There are many leading industry experts who think that without the BlackBerry, the landscape of business telecommunications would look extremely different today and the BlackBerry 7230 was the first step.

With its full keyboard and its push-email server system, the BlackBerry 7230 made it possible to read emails almost instantly. That fact, combined with the lack of huge mobile data charges and a level of security that made it safe and acceptable to the corporate sector, meant that the BlackBerry 7230 was as much a vital tool for business people back then as it is today.
