A Smartphone from the American company, ready to amaze and guarantee success like all its predecessors. Connectivity is at the highest level, let's analyze its features in detail.

There's also Bluetooth for exchanging files with other devices, as well as the USB 2.0 network cable.

This device has simple and essential lines, giving a sense of sturdiness and solidity, essential for guaranteeing reliability during business trips, even though the style is much more compact compared to other RIM phones. The dimensions are 89.5 grams in weight and 14.5 mm in thickness. The red color gives it a more pleasant and modern look. On the front is the screen, a TFT with a resolution of 240x260 pixels, capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors. Just below is the keyboard, an extended QWERTY with SureType technology. In the sales package you'll find the earphones and the USB cable, as well as the protective case.
