Dobson Cellular Systems, a subsidiary of Dobson Communications Corporation – a leading provider of wireless services in 16 states – and Research In Motion (RIM) today announced the availability of the EDGE-enabled BlackBerry 7130g to mobile professionals in the United States.

The BlackBerry 7130g offers complete BlackBerry functionality in a sleek, stylish handset, including push-based wireless email, phone, text messaging, browser, organizer as well as the ability to access the company intranet and other business applications. By combining a high performance device platform with Dobson’s high-speed EDGE network, the BlackBerry 7130g delivers a fast and responsive experience when browsing the web, viewing attachments and running other mobile applications.

The brilliant, high-resolution 240 x 260 color LCD screen supports more than 65,000 colors and incorporates intelligent light sensing technology that automatically adjusts both the LCD and keyboard lighting to provide an optimized view in outdoor, indoor and dark environments. The BlackBerry 7130g also incorporates premium phone features including dedicated “send” and “end” and “mute” keys, smart dialing, conference calling, speed dial, call forwarding, polyphonic and MP3 ring tones, as well as speakerphone and Bluetooth® to allow support for a broad range of wireless headsets and car kits.

“The BlackBerry 7130g is an exciting addition to our BlackBerry product line, providing all the benefits of BlackBerry to users who prefer traditional phone-style designs,” said Tom Roberts, Chief Marketing Officer for Dobson Cellular Systems. “We expect this new handset will appeal to both our business and individual users looking to stay in touch and productive through an all-in-one mobile solution.”

“We’re pleased to be working with Dobson to expand their BlackBerry portfolio,” said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion. “The introduction of BlackBerry 7130g on Dobson’s high-speed EDGE network delivers a first-rate voice, email and browsing experience in an exceptional business phone.”

The BlackBerry 7130g also incorporates RIM’s SureType keyboard technology, which effectively converges a phone keypad and a QWERTY keyboard to allow for a narrower wireless phone form factor. The BlackBerry 7130g with SureType gives users the familiar look and feel of a phone and allows them to dial phone numbers and type messages quickly, accurately and comfortably.

For corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Serverâ„¢ software tightly integrates with Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and Novell GroupWise and works with existing enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based wireless access to email and other corporate data.

For individuals and smaller businesses, BlackBerry Internet Service allows users to access up to ten corporate and personal email accounts (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and most popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.

Dobson operates under the trade names Cellular One from Dobson Cellular Systems and Dobson Cellular Systems in more than 65 wireless markets.
