Other upgrades over the 7510 include added memory and enhanced attachment viewing. Other features include a large color display, push email, wireless organizer sync, Java, speakerphone, PTT, and a QWERTY thumb keyboard.

|
|
Nextel and RIM announced plans to enable location-based services on the BlackBerry platform.
RIM and Nextel are providing Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and developers with the comprehensive resources and environment to support location-enhanced applications including the GPS-enabled devices, network, services, infrastructure and development tools needed to create and deliver powerful mobile applications. This support allows developers to create new applications, incorporating navigation, location and tracking services together with the unique connectivity features of BlackBerry including always-on operation, push-based services, advanced security and back-end integration. Customers will also enjoy the combined power and benefits of wireless email, phone, Direct Connect Services, messaging, browser and GPS technologies in a single device.
To encourage design of location-based applications for the BlackBerry platform, RIM and Nextel are announcing a Nextel Java Developer Contest at the Nextel Developers Conference, December 9-10, in Miami. Developers can create location-based applications for the recently introduced, GPS-enabled BlackBerry 7520.
Existing and new BlackBerry ISV Alliance partners have already started developing an array of applications that will include, but not be limited to, services that will provide:
-- Navigation for audible and visual real-time driving directions
-- Location data to locate company assets and field employees
-- Tracking to better manage company vehicles and inventory and optimize routes with improved tracking and planning
