Blackberry 7290

With its Bluetooth headset support, the BlackBerry 7290 becomes much more viable as a combination PDA/phone rather than just a traditional e-mail handheld device. Features of RIM BlackBerry 7290 The RIM BlackBerry 7290's address book is limited by the available memory, and the device comes with 32MB of flash memory plus 4MB of SRAM. Each contact holds up to eight phone numbers, an e-mail address, and two postal addresses; additional names can be stored on the SIM card. Furthermore, you can enter Web pages, personal information, and notes under each name. A full-fledged PDA, the 7290 also includes a calendar, a memo pad, a task list, an alarm clock, 32 polyphonic ring tones, and a vibrate mode. Similar to other BlackBerry devices, the 7290 lacks an expansion slot. Though bummed that the 7290 lacked a speakerphone, we were pleased that it sports integrated Bluetooth, which can be used only to connect with a headset and not to sync with other devices. As with all other BlackBerry devices, the 7290 is a business product; subsequently, it's easy to connect it to Microsoft Exchange and BlackBerry servers as well as Lotus Notes servers using the desktop redirector software. Unlike many Windows Mobile 2003 SE devices, the BlackBerry 7290 delivers e-mail in real time, and both messages and the calendar can be synced to the device. If you don't work for a company that has the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, you can opt for BlackBerry Web client.
