By Asher Moses on 01/03/2006

More RIM reviews , RRP: AU$99.00

The good:

  • Constant access to up to 10 e-mail accounts wherever you are
  • Good battery life
  • Vibrant 240x260 display
  • Doubles as an EV-DO modem for your notebook or desktop PC
  • Slim, phone-oriented design doesn’t look dorky when held up to your ear
  • Handy LED alerts users to unread mail

The bad:

  • Fairly pricey
  • Uncomfortable for lefties
  • Two keys share each button, which makes e-mailing more tedious than on the data-oriented BlackBerry models

The bottomline:

The BlackBerry 7130e is an expensive undertaking, but if you’re a mobile professional the cost is undoubtedly justified.

    The Explain Series

    • Motorola MC75

      Motorola MC75

      Enterprises looking to deploy a rugged, versatile mobile device will be impressed by the Motorola MC75's range of features. However, you pay a premium for smartphone functionality in a hardened form; this phone is not only tough, it is massive to the point of being unwieldy.

    • HTC S740

      HTC S740

      HTC took the Touch Diamond's glossy black frame, stripped away the touchscreen, added a QWERTY keyboard and called it the S740. This latest Windows Mobile smartphone should deliver the same business messaging punch as the popular Diamond.

    • HP iPAQ 612c Business Navigator

      HP iPAQ 612c Business Navigator

      HP's latest iPAQ, the 612c Business Navigator, is a solid offering with lots of features and good battery life. It's a bland-looking and giant handset, but good performance and crisp touchscreen somewhat make up for the poor keypad.

    • Asus P750

      Asus P750

      The Asus P750 may be chunky, but it packs in a huge array of features. Combined with an equally impressive software bundle, the result is an excellent multifunction handheld that should appeal to a wide range of mobile professionals.

      BlackBerry Bold 9000

      The Bold is what BlackBerry fans have been waiting for. It's feature-rich and sharply designed, let down in small measure by some cumbersome software.
