Summary

The high-end BlackBerry 7210 sports a glorious high-resolution, full-color screen, which you can use for viewing pictures. This new model is based on the Java platform, making it compatible with more applications. As with all Blackberry models, you can talk, send text messages, e-mail using your existing accounts and browse the Web from wherever you are. Keep your calendar and contacts up to date, and then synch your data back at the office. Inside and out, the Blackberry was designed for security, simplicity and ease.
