RIM's new super smart phone with oodles of talk time...



RIM has today come good on its promise of a new BlackBerry. Not a replacement to the big-boy 8700g though, as we were led to believe. Instead, it’s unveiled a svelte pocket-dweller, dubbed the 7130g (pictured) as the successor to the ‘old’ 7100x - a slender candy bar smartphone with a black belt in the BlackBerry art of no-brainer mobile emailing.

It outdoes its predecessor by being significantly sharper in style stakes, lighter and more powerful. See, measuring in at a modest 115x56x18mm and weighing just 120g this is easily the least lardy BlackBerry to date.


Performance-wise it’s blessed with an Intel XScale 312MHz processor, making it one of the fastest smartphones out there. This extra grunt ensures you can blitz through applications with super-short load times, and guarantees it runs the likes of Google Maps no bother.


Also, the traditional v-shaped keypad has been ditched in favour of a simpler layout with bigger keys, which means batting out emails is a smidge easier. Plus it’s equipped with a fresh smarty-pants light-sensing LCD screen that automatically adjusts to make it easy to view in any condition.


It’s no slouch when it comes to endurance either, managing a marathon eight days on standby, and 3 hours of incessant nattering.


The 7130g is available via O2 for free with a contract, and launches in the UK today.

UPDATE

Blackberry squeezes in GPS!

RIM has pledged to overhaul its e-mailing mastermind before the end of the year, packing in juicy features from Wi-Fi to video skills and even GPS!

Our favourite mobile e-mailer just got a lot tastier. James Balsillie, head of Blackberry makers Research In Motion has promised features by the bucket load for all new models, including GPS in every handset!

Speaking to eWEEK, the mobile boss said that cameras, MP3 and video support, more memory and GPS mapping would all make their way to Blackberry before the end of the year.

A Wi-Fi enabled handset is also expected, opening up super-fast web surfing on the move, without relying on clunky mobile networks.

Juicy mobile accessories are also high on RIM’s to-do list according to Balsillie, with printers, barcode scanners and “digital pen and paper” all being concocted by the company’s labs.

Blackberry’s latest handset, the 7130g, was a vast improvement on its predecessor, slimming down and packing the fastest smartphone processor ever.

Here’s hoping RIM can squeeze in even more impressive features for its next handsets, without compromising on the Blackberry’s renowned efficiency!
