Malta Independent Sunday, 7 December 2008, 00:00 Last update: about 12 years ago

Emitac Mobile Solution, GO Mobile and Research In Motion announced the launch of the BlackBerry® solution in Malta last week. GO Mobile customers will now be able to enjoy the benefits of enhanced communications and increased productivity by using a Blackberry® smartphone to access e-mail, browse the web, make phone calls, send and receive text and picture messages and be organised, as well as access to a wide variety of business and leisure applications while on the move.

At launch, GO Mobile will offer the BlackBerry® Bold™, BlackBerry® 8800 and BlackBerry® Pearl™ 8120 smartphones to the Maltese market. All three BlackBerry® smartphones will be available from GO and all GO Mobile outlets. To support this new range of BlackBerry® smartphones, GO Mobile is also offering powerful BlackBerry® services that will enable easy wireless access to e-mail, Internet, multimedia and other lifestyle applications including instant messaging and social networking.

The BlackBerry® Bold smartphone is a top-of-the-line handset that comes with tri-band support for HSDPA high-speed networks around the world and comes with integrated GPS and Wi-Fi®, as well as a rich set of multimedia capabilities. Featuring a lustrous black exterior, satin chrome finished frame and stylish leatherette back plate, the BlackBerry® Bold has a stunning display and sophisticated user interface. With its fast processor, support for HSDPA download speeds and ability to support simultaneous voice and data, users can even talk on the phone while handling e-mail, browsing the web or accessing other data applications.

The BlackBerry® Bold comes with a newly enhanced, high performance browser and high-resolution, ultra-sharp display giving users an on-the-go web browsing experience with desktop-style depiction. Using its trackball, which mimics a mouse, users can easily navigate sites or zoom in on specific parts of a web page, while various emulation settings allow users to choose between the full desktop-style HTML content and layout or the mobile version.

This elegant smartphone includes a full, highly tactile QWERTY keyboard with a range of powerful features including built-in GPS, media player and an expandable memory slot. The large, high-resolution display, with its automatic light sensing technology, makes applications and attachments a pleasure to view. The handset’s intuitive trackball navigation system makes scrolling through messages and navigating applications and web pages incredibly easy.

The built-in GPS works with a range of location based applications and services to make it easy for users to find addresses, shops and businesses, track locations and get both visual routes as well as step-by-step directions. The BlackBerry® 8800 smartphone is also supported by a wide range of mobile business applications for the BlackBerry® platform, so information can be easily accessed on the move.

A sleek, small and elegant smartphone, the BlackBerry® Pearl 8120 provides powerful communications features coupled with rich multimedia capabilities and Wi-Fi® connectivity support. Recording video* and taking pictures is a breeze with the BlackBerry® Pearl 8120 smartphone’s 2 megapixel camera. These images and video clips can also be easily shared with friends and family by e-mail, web upload or MMS; alternatively, users can save and store these files, together with their favourite music, on a microSD card that easily slides into the side of the smartphone. The BlackBerry® Pearl 8120, with its large, bright and high-resolution display, also offers an exceptional user experience for email, phone, messaging (SMS, IM, MMS), web browsing, organiser and other mobile applications.

This new offering from GO Mobile is tailored to suit both individuals and business users. GO Mobile is offering the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server software for corporate customers and BlackBerry® Internet Service for smaller businesses and individual users.

BlackBerry® Enterprise Server is for organisations that manage their own e-mail servers. The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server software tightly integrates with IBM® Lotus® Domino®, Microsoft® Exchange and Novell® GroupWise® and uses advanced encryption and IT policy controls to enable secure, push-based wireless access to email and other corporate data.
