BlackBerry 7100t Design and Build

Design and Build

The BlackBerry 7100t has a compact and sturdy design with dimensions of 119 x 58 x 19 mm and a weight of 120 grams. Its size allowed it to fit comfortably in the hand and pocket, which is crucial for on-the-go business users. The phone features a QWERTY keyboard, which BlackBerry was renowned for, albeit in a modified format often referred to as a SureType keyboard, blending a traditional keypad with QWERTY functionality. This made typing emails and messages efficient once the user became familiar with it. The device uses a Mini-SIM and sports a utilitarian yet professional look, characteristic of BlackBerry devices of its time.
