"You can use the 7230 for voice calls, Internet browsing and enterprise e-mail, and two-way SMS. Rudimentary contact, task, and scheduling tools keep the 7230 out of the running as a PDA, but that's the idea: The 7230 is being marketed as a data viewer and a wide-coverage phone for mobile professionals...
The 64K color display is highly readable. It shows three rows of six application icons in the home screen, plus status and message areas. The display and the QWERTY keyboard are backlit. Like earlier RIM products, the 7230 uses a combination jog dial and back button for interface navigation. RIM's first voice phone, the BlackBerry 5810, required a headset for voice calls, but the 7230 has an integrated microphone and speaker. Voice quality is very clear, but there is no speakerphone function."
