In addition, BlackBerry 7.1 introduced an improved web browser that leveraged WebKit technology, enabling faster browsing and better rendering of web pages. Users experienced a more seamless and responsive internet experience, making it easier to navigate through the increasingly complex online landscape.

Another remarkable feature was the inclusion of Blackberry Protect, which provided backup and remote wipe capabilities, ensuring user data could be secured even if the device was lost or stolen.
