Blackberry RIM 957 : It looks like a PDA, but the BlackBerry RIM 957 is really a pager

RIM (Research In Motion) introduced the BlackBerry 957 in April of 2000. At its release, it was little more than an overgrown 950.

It looks like a PDA, but the BlackBerry RIM 957 is really a pager—what Research In Motion (RIM) calls a “two-way messenger device.” As a convenient way to receive and send pages and e-mail wirelessly, the RIM 957 is an excellent choice. It uses the same Cingular Interactive (formerly Bell South Wireless Data) 900-MHz Mobitex network that Palm.net uses for Palm VII devices.


The RIM 957 is such a great messaging device that you may forget it’s not a PDA—or, for that matter, you might not even care. The first version of the RIM 957 worked only with Exchange servers, but this version can gain access to messages, e-mail, and content directly.

RIM Wireless Handhelds include the most advanced wireless technology allowing you to send and receive e-mail from the palm of your hand. Creating and retrieving information is amazingly simple using the optimized keyboard, thumb-operated trackwheel, easy-to-read backlit screen and intuitive menu-driven interface. With RIM Wireless Handhelds you don't need to retrieve your e-mail. Your e-mail finds you. No dialing-in. No initiating connections. No antennas to rise. No effort required. The handhelds are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, allowing you to be discreetly notified as new e-mail arrives. Now you can easily stay in touch with your colleagues and clients while you're on the go.BlackBerry Internet Edition is designed to allow leading service providers to offer an end-to-end wireless e-mail solution with single mailbox integration. The BlackBerry solution includes a choice of powerful RIM Wireless Handhelds with integrated e-mail/organizer software, PC docking cradle, PC synchronization software and affordable airtime. BlackBerry allows mobile users to access their e-mail and personal organizer wherever they go.

RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630

As the replacement to the RIM BlackBerry 8830 World Edition, the RIM BlackBerry Tour offers dual-mode functionality (supporting dual-band CDMA and quad-band GSM networks) for world roaming capabilities and ships with a SIM card.

amless international roaming--all while keeping the same phone number. In addition to voice coverage, the BlackBerry Tour supports the 2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA band, so you can get 3G support overseas, while working on Verizon's EV-DO Rev. A network domestically. In all, you'll get voice coverage in 220 countries and data coverage (e-mail and Internet) in 175 countries. Be sure to check the international roaming rates for voice calls and text messages before you head off on your trip.
