Roses Are Red -- So Are the Blackberry Pearl and Palm Treo 680
ATLANTA, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The BlackBerry(R) Pearl(TM) and
Palm(R) Treo(TM) 680 smart device officially are red hot as AT&T (NYSE: T)
today introduced an eye-catching, dark ruby-colored version of the
BlackBerry Pearl and a striking crimson iteration of the Treo 680. The red
BlackBerry Pearl is the first wireless handset to be branded for the new
AT&T.
Both new, colorful models are available immediately and exclusively to
AT&T customers at Cingular Wireless retail stores -- the Treo 680 initially
at select outlets and the BlackBerry Pearl at all stores nationwide -- and
through www.cingular.com, AT&T's wireless business-to-business sales
organization, authorized dealers and select national retailers.
"The new, red BlackBerry Pearl and crimson Palm Treo 680 are the next
'gotta have it' wireless handsets from AT&T," said Michael Woodward,
executive director, mobile professional solutions, for AT&T. "The
additional choices of color offer panache and style, and these world-class
products boast all of the features that made the original versions very
popular among AT&T customers."
Although the Palm Treo 680 and BlackBerry Pearl from AT&T now come in a
choice of colors -- AT&T continues to offer the attractive original models
-- the compelling looks, features and functionality that have given them a
broad following remain the same.
The red BlackBerry Pearl's sleek and stylish exterior measures just
4.2" x 1.97" x .57", weighs only 3.1 ounces and includes the supple and
responsive trackball that makes vertical and lateral scrolling fast and
easy. It's packed with such features as a 1.3 megapixel digital camera,
multi-media capabilities and an expandable memory slot along with
easy-to-use phone, email and browser applications. The unique "push-based"
BlackBerry service gives users synchronized access to both personal and
corporate email accounts with attachment viewing, and the ability to manage
multiple email accounts while on-the-go.
The red BlackBerry Pearl also includes optional services such as Push
To Talk and GPS-based wireless navigation services from TeleNav, Inc. --
the subscription-based TeleNav GPS Navigator(TM), and the free -- and now
wirelessly downloadable - TeleNav Maps(TM).
The all-in-one crimson Palm Treo 680 smart device is a compact, full-
featured mobile phone with an MP3 player, digital camera, camcorder and
video player. The Treo 680 includes a built-in QWERTY keyboard that gives
users the ability to easily compose and reply to email, edit documents and
use a messaging application that displays text-messaging conversations as
"threaded chats," similar to IM. It supports a variety of email platforms,
including Good Mobile Messaging from Motorola Good Technology Group and
Cingular Xpress Mail.
TeleNav GPS Navigator also is available on the crimson Treo 680 on an
optional, subscription basis.
For GPS capabilities, both the Treo 680 and BlackBerry Pearl require a
Bluetooth(R) enabled GPS receiver that can be purchased separately.
Like their siblings, the red BlackBerry Pearl and crimson Treo 680 have
quad-band capabilities. Both can be used in more than 13,000 cities and
towns across the U.S. and along some 40,000 miles of major highways, as
well as abroad in more than 190 countries for phone calls and in over 125
countries to access data.
Both the Palm Treo 680 smart device and BlackBerry Pearl are available
for as low as $199.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates.
