Verizon Wireless and Research In Motion have already introduced the BlackBerry 7130e in the US, the first BlackBerry handset that takes advantage of Verizon Wireless’ BroadbandAccess service on the company’s Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) network. Now Alltel has got in on the act and offers the attractive device for its very own Axcess Broadband EV-DO network.

The BlackBerry 7130e combines phone, wireless e-mail, text messaging, organiser, Web and corporate data applications in a sleek handset that also features Bluetooth support for hands-free use with a headset or car kit. The BlackBerry 7130e operates on Alltel’s Axcess Broadband EV-DO network which supports Internet access at speeds up to 2.4Mbit/s, enabling you to quickly view large, graphic-rich content.

The handset offers top-of-the-line features such as a large, bright, high-resolution LCD screen and 64MB of flash memory. It also includes SureType keyboard technology from RIM. SureType effectively converges a wireless device keypad and a QWERTY keyboard to fit within the size of a traditional wireless phone form factor.

Through an integrated keyboard and software system, SureType provides you with an instinctively familiar look and feel and enables you to dial phone numbers and type messages quickly, accurately and comfortably.

The BlackBerry 7130e is available in Alltel retail stores for $299 with a two-year service agreement. Customers who add a postpaid voice calling plan when purchasing the BlackBerry 7130e will receive unlimited data service for $44.99 per month. The unlimited data plan includes national data roaming at no extra charge when using this device.
