A month ago I start this new and exciting job as a Network Systems Administrator that requires me to carry a Blackberry with me at all times because they want to be able to get a hold of me whenever there is a need.
So on my first day at work, they handed me this
BlackBerry 7130e and said it is mine to keep (as long as I am employed with them). I was excited but also did not know how to use it because I had never owned or used a Blackberry before. So the first thing I did was to go online to BlackBerry.com and download the user manual and get myself acquainted with the basic features of this new work-toy. It took me about a week but I have gotten used to it and love to play around with it. Oh yeah and I do use it for work (emails, calls, contacts, internet, etc).
THE PACKAGE :
1. Blackberry 7130e handset
2. Travel Charger
3. Belt Holster
4. CD Installation Discs
5. Verizon CD Install Disc
6. Quick Reference Guide
7. Installation Booklet
WHAT IS IT?
In short, it is a smart phone that is capable of voice, email, and data communication all from this single easy to use device. It is ideal for anyone who needs their calls, emails, and contacts all in one place but also have the versatility to also have the same information available on a computer with wireless synchronization.
You can configure this device to work with your Outlook email via Microsoft Exchange messaging package. You will be able to send and receive emails, view your calendar, access your task list, and see all your notes from your Outlook right on this Blackberry.
Another feature I like about this device is that you can use it to connect your desktop (PC) or laptop to the Internet. No need to connect to those Airport wireless services and pay. And there is no need to steal your neighbors WiFi connection anymore (yes... there still are people who do this even though the price of broadband Internet access has gone down significantly). All you have to do is add the "Tethering Feature" to your account and install the connection software from your provider. You should be good to go.
