SingTel Offers BlackBerry Internet Service for SMEs and Individuals
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and retail customers can now subscribe to the BlackBerry Internet Service(TM) from SingTel. The service operates on SingTel's GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) network to deliver email to customers automatically.
For individuals and smaller businesses, BlackBerry Internet Service(TM) allows users to access up to ten corporate and/or personal email accounts (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and many popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.
The BlackBerry(R) handheld also functions as a mobile phone, a personal organizer and offers wireless Internet access capabilities.

It boasts Bluetooth(R) support for hands-free voice communications and comes with 32MB of memory for application and data storage and an enhanced screen and keyboard. The quad-band handheld also allows users to roam among North America, Europe and Asia Pacific(a).
The BlackBerry 7290 also embraces the powerful features of the BlackBerry 7200 Series, including a compact and ergonomic handheld design, high-resolution color screen that supports over 65,000 colors, easy-to-use QWERTY keyboard, thumb-operated navigation trackwheel, excellent battery performance, plus integrated support for corporate and personal email, phone, text messaging, PIM, Internet and intranet applications.
