Design
The BlackBerry 7290 follows the standard BlackBerry form factor--a large 240 x 160 color
screen placed above a QWERTY keyboard. The
screen offers plenty of real estate to view your
e-mails, Web browser content, messaging
sessions, and attachments. The popular BlackBerry user interface is here, too, which
makes it easy to navigate the handheld's
functions. A trackwheel is located on the right
side of the unit for quick scrolling through
menus and e-mails. There's also a standard 2.5mm
headset jack that can be used with the included
headset. And because the BlackBerry 7290 is
Bluetooth enabled, you can connect it to a wide
range of wireless Bluetooth headsets. A
removable lithium-ion battery is housed in the
rear of the unit.

Calling Features
Many of the calling capabilities folks have come
to expect in a wireless phone are present in the
BlackBerry 7290. The unit's Bluetooth capability
means you can use a wireless headset with the
phone for hands-free calling. A vibrating alert,
speed dial, and a contacts list/address book
(that is limited only by the unit's 32 MB of
internal memory) are also included.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The BlackBerry 7290 delivers the legendary
BlackBerry e-mail experience. With BlackBerry
Internet Service, you can receive e-mails
instantaneously from personal and corporate
accounts. With BlackBerry push technology, you
don't need to retrieve your e-mail all at once.
BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and
continuously connected to the wireless network,
allowing you to be discreetly notified as new
e-mail arrives. Support is also built in for
viewing e-mail attachments (Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, WordPerfect, and PDF formats).
If your company has a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, you can take advantage of the power of wireless calendar synchronization. Your calendar events are exchanged wirelessly and automatically so that your desktop calendar and BlackBerry handheld calendar are synchronized. All your Outlook meeting requests, changes, and updates are instantaneously synchronized with your desktop. Make meeting requests, invite new attendees, and more, all on your BlackBerry 7290. Users without Enterprise Server support can manually sync with their desktop calendars and contacts via Bluetooth or USB by using the included BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Use the BlackBerry 7290's Web browser to access the Internet from the palm of your hand. Browse Web sites, get up-to-date stock quotes, read the latest news, check weather reports, and do even more. Wireless text messaging is also supported by the BlackBerry 7290.
The BlackBerry 7290 ships with a number of tools, including a calculator with a unit converter and a to-do list. The handheld's software is based on the Java platform, meaning Java-compatible games and applications can be added to the handheld.
