The new BlackBerry model 7105t with an Internet e-mail service has been introduced by manufacturer Research in Motion Ltd and mobile operator T-Mobile USA.

The new service will enable real-time delivery of e-mails sent to users' Yahoo Mail accounts to be accessible to BlackBerry users for the first time and is available for users of all BlackBerry models, including the 7105t.

According to the two companies, the use of the BlackBerry Internet e-mail service will improve the wireless synchronisation of read/unread message status and of sent and deleted messages. This would ensure for example that a Yahoo Mail message that was deleted on a BlackBerry handset would automatically be deleted from the user's Yahoo Mail account.

The new device includes a scratch-resistant, high-resolution colour screen, contoured keys and bigger send and end keys. No pricing information was given.
