Blackberry 7230

One of the Blackberry 7200 series PDA's, the Blackberry 7230 device boasts the same elegant design. Like its 7200 counterparts, it comes with corporate data access, wireless email access, connected organizer and more, making it a great tool for any business person. It's also voice operated, so you don't have to use your fingers too often. But when you, do there's a comfortable full QWERTY keyboard available.

The Blackberry 7230 model features the same clear display with 65,000 colors spread over a high resolution 240x160 screen. The screen is backlit for easy use during all times of day and night.

The Blackberry 7230 is is compatible only with 1900MHz GSM/GPRS networks in North America (and not with 850 MHz GSM/GPRS networks). This makes little difference to the average user, other than limiting the choice of operators to Cingular and T-Mobile. However, the Blackberry 7230 is compatible with the European and Asia Pacific networks at both 900Mhz and 1800Mhz, making it very good for the traveling business person.

The long battery life is also a great feature for the business person. The Blackberry 7230 battery can last for up to 10 days in standby mode, or 5 hours of talk time - that's the top of the scale at the Blackberry 7200 series.

The Blackberry 7230 is usually cheaper than the other PDA's in the 7200 line. That's largely due to its limited internal memory. With only 16 MB in its Flash memory and 2MB of SRAM, it belongs to the low-scale of the 7200 as far as memory is concerned.
