» Introduction
BlackBerry is already the leading corporate solution for secure wireless email. Now, with the BlackBerry 5810 handheld, you can make and receive phone calls too. It includes an integrated phone along with a thumb-operated trackwheel, easy-to-read screen, backlit keyboard, intuitive menu-driven interface and quick access to email, phone, SMS, organizer and web applications. Operating on advanced GSM/GPRS networks, the BlackBerry 5810 is the integrated handheld that lets you manage all of your business communications and information.
VoiceStream takes corporate mobile connectivity to a new level by offering the BlackBerry wireless e-mail solution with integrated phone.
The BlackBerry 5810 from VoiceStream combines the best nationwide wireless voice service with a secure wireless e-mail and calendar solution in a single, fully integrated, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy handheld.
VoiceStream offers you the power of the BlackBerry and then turbo-charges it with iStream - the fastest nationwide wireless data network in 6,500 cities across the country. iStream gives you immediate access to information relevant to you and your business at speeds up to 56kbps.
The BlackBerry 5810 offers Always On, Always Connected operation with integrated voice and data features. Based on RIM's existing palm-sized form factor, the BlackBerry 5810 is sleek (4.6 x 3.1 x 0.7) and lightweight (4.7 oz) with an embedded RIM wireless modem and internal high performance antenna allowing users to carry and use the handheld comfortably. It features RIM's popular thumb-typing keyboard, navigation trackwheel, large screen, intuitive interface and a headset jack for optional phone services. Both the screen and keyboard are backlit for easy reading and typing day and night.

J2ME - Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) is a powerful development platform that is optimized for wireless devices and provides an industry standard programming environment for custom and commercial development. RIM plans to launch its Java Development Environment for developers at JavaOne later this month.
BlackBerry Web Client - In addition to the enterprise email integration option enabled by BlackBerry Enterprise Server, RIM will introduce a new web-based application called BlackBerry Web Client (expected to be available to carriers in Spring 2002). It will support POP3, IMAP and ISP email protocols and allow users to access multiple existing email accounts from a single BlackBerry handheld (including ISP accounts and a default web mail account provided with each handheld). BlackBerry Web Client will appeal to customers that do not currently use Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Domino and also those users that wish to access a personal email account in addition to their enterprise email account. BlackBerry 5810 customers can use the BlackBerry Web Client application to select their ISP accounts, access their web mail account, configure settings, define email filters and set auto signatures. IT departments running BlackBerry Enterprise Server will retain the ability to centrally control and implement policies on handhelds that prevent access to personal ISP accounts.
