Introduction
The BlackBerry 7100v, a member of the BlackBerry 7100 series, was launched in the fourth quarter of 2004. It's a phone that reflects the early stages of smartphones, combining business-oriented features typical of BlackBerry devices with a more compact form factor that introduces a few unconventional design choices. Though this device is now discontinued, during its time, it carved out a niche for users seeking email functionality with a more phone-like appearance compared to its predecessors.
