9 Iconic Handsets That Defined BlackBerry

#6 Blackberry 7100t

The BB 7100t was announced for T-Mobile USA in September 2004. It was the first of RIM's handsets to slim down and use the SureType keyboard that assigns two letters to each key, thereby saving space. It also used a predictive text system that learnt from the user from the first time they began to type, giving it an edge over competitors of the time.

It also provided the same corporate integration of its predecessors, with access to features like push email, Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes for BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) customers.

It was also a quad-band GSM phone, making it truly global, providing it wasn't operator restricted.

The display type was 65K colors with resolution 240 x 260 pixels, 2.36 inches. It had internal memory of 32 MB storage minus card slot, and had 4 MB RAM. The device was run on BlackBerry OS.
