The 7100 series BlackBerry is available from nearly every provider.
Each phone includes the typical BlackBerry applications such as web browser, SMS, email, phone, MMS and SureType keyboard technologies to deliver a full and complete BlackBerry experience, but in a smaller, more traditional cell phone package.
BlackBerry 7105t
TMobile has introduced the 7105t for their application. It is a 32MB SureType phone with speakerphone, bluetooth, attachment viewing and a host of other features built in. It is a quad-band GSM phone with an intensive international presence.
BlackBerry 7100t
The TMobile 7100t was replaced with the 7105t. It is a GSM/GPRS 32MB SureType phone (condensed QWERTY with 2 letters per key) with speakerphone, bluetooth, attachment viewing and a host of other features built in. It is a quad-band GSM phone.

BlackBerry 7100i
Nextel has the 7100i in their lineup of BlackBerry devices. It uses the same SureType technology of other 7100 series BlackBerries and also adds Nextel’s PTT [Push-To-Talk] long-distance digital walkie-talkie service. Support for GPS location-based services and polyphonic ring tones comes as an added bonus. Nextel has also upped the storage limit with the 7100i by including 64MB of RAM along with the standard applications and Bluetooth to make it another great product in the BlackBerry family.
BlackBerry 7100g
Cingular’s 7100g shares many of the same features as TMobile’s 7105t such as the integrated speakerphone, quad-band GSM technology and Bluetooth, but in a new and exciting package. This 32MB loaded BlackBerry with integrated SureType technology is more than up to par with the rest of the 7100 lineup and is a great addition to the family.
