The BlackBerry 8703e smartphone operates on the latest
high-speed wireless networks, keeping you fully connected while on
the go. Compatible with Sprint's EV-DO high-speed broadband network,
the 8703e delivers a rich wireless experience whether you're waiting
out an airport layover or carpooling to work, with fast e-mail,
application, and browser speeds. At the same time, you can connect
your laptop or PC to the Internet using the 8703e as a tethered
modem, so you don't even need to carry a wireless PC card. In short,
there's no better way to stay connected.

Design:
The BlackBerry 8703e isn't huge, but it's also not
quite as compact as some of BlackBerry's other recent offerings,
such as the Pearl. One of the main reasons is that BlackBerry added
a full QWERTY keyboard to the 8703e, letting you easily type e-mails
and text messages without having to peck the same key several times
to input each letter. The dedicated Send, End, and Mute keys,
meanwhile, team up with the thumb-operated trackwheel and
user-definable convenience keys to make the 8703e easier to navigate
than ever. And users will love the bright high-resolution screen,
which optimizes lighting levels to offer ideal viewing indoors or
out.

Calling Features:
All the calling capabilities folks have
come to expect in a wireless phone are present in the BlackBerry
8703e. The handset's speakerphone makes it easy to use the device
hands-free, or if you prefer, you can use a wireless headset via the
phone's built-in Bluetooth capability. The phone also offers a
vibrating alert, a speed dial, and a contacts list/address book
that's limited only by the unit's 64 MB of internal memory. And
thanks to the phone's speaker-independent voice dialing function,
you can call contacts with the sound of your voice. No prior voice
training is required; simply say a contact's name and the phone will
dial the number.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools:
The 8703e offers the legendary BlackBerry
e-mail experience. With BlackBerry service plans from Sprint, you
can receive e-mails instantaneously from up to 10 e-mail accounts
(personal and enterprise). BlackBerry's push technology also makes
it easier than ever to receive your e-mails. BlackBerry devices are
designed to remain on and stay continuously connected to your
wireless network. As a result, you don't have to retrieve your
e-mails manually, but instead are discreetly notified by the 8703e
each time a new e-mail arrives. The unit also offers built-in
support for viewing e-mail attachments in Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
WordPerfect, and PDF formats. Plus, the phone's Multimedia Messaging
Service (MMS) support lets you combine text and images within a
single message, making it easy to caption photos and make amusing
comments.
Sprint Services:
The 8703e also offers a number of
Sprint-specific features when combined with the right service plan,
including the ability to stream music to your phone through Sprint's
Music Choice service. You can select from pop, rock, hip-hop, and
R&B, plus enjoy access to exclusive video clips, performances,
and artist interviews. Add in a built-in media player--which handles
both real-time streaming video and audio at broadband-like
speeds--and you have a terrific phone for multimedia fans.
Enterprise Server:
For larger corporate and government organizations, the
BlackBerry 8703e works with BlackBerry Enterprise Servers to provide
users and IT managers with a host of additional features. Among the
options are secure access to Internet- and intranet-based
applications, single mailbox integration, wireless synchronization
with corporate PIM tools, and remote address book lookup. And unlike
with traditional mobile phones, the 8703e series incorporates
advanced security features to satisfy strict IT requirements. Other
enterprise features include the ability to receive proactive
wireless notifications and alerts from executive reporting systems,
the capacity to wirelessly access service histories and product
bullets, and the ability to initiate a spontaneous conference call
using the built-in speakerphone.
Other features include support for assignable polyphonic and MP3
ringtones, GPS support, M4 and T4 ratings for hearing aids, and an
included holster for easy transport.
