with a powerful processor and 64 MB of flash memory, providing users a fast and responsive
experience when browsing the Internet, viewing attachments or running other mobile
applications. &#147;We have always believed in bringing more choices to suit our
customers&#146; requirements. This quad-band EDGE-enabled BlackBerry 7130g will
undoubtedly appeal to Airtel&#146;s customers who seek a more phone-centric device that
brings the BlackBerry advantage,&#148; Sanjay Kapoor, Joint President, Mobile Services,
Bharti Airtel Limited said. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&#147;The new BlackBerry 7130g is an

platform, the BlackBerry 7130g delivers an all-in-one solution with a unique user
experience.&#148; The BlackBerry 7130g includes premium phone features including dedicated
phone keys, smart dialing, conference calling, speed dial, call forwarding, speakerphone
and Bluetooth&reg; support for wireless headsets and car kits. The handset&#146;s bright
and high-resolution color LCD screen features an intelligent light sensing technology that
automatically adjusts both the display and keyboard lighting levels to provide an
optimised view in outdoor, indoor and dark environments. In addition, the BlackBerry 7130g
incorporates RIM&#146;s innovative SureType&#153; keyboard technology, which merges a
phone keypad with a familiar QWERTY keyboard to enable a narrower design while allowing
users to type quickly and accurately. </FONT></P>
