RIM BlackBerry 7130e (Sprint)

Summary: I think that the cons of this phone are completely overshadowed by the pros. I will say that Sprint needs to get their s**t together and provide their employess with a MUCH better understanding of the Blackberry and Sprint crossover. However, since this is not a review about Sprint, let me just tell you that this phone is everything i hoped it would be and more. It is smaller and better looking than the Treo's. I was nervouse to step away from the Palm OS and learn something new but I was able to master this phone within a very short amount of time. Please do not be discouraged by the reviews of the Suretype, it is very simple to learn and master. As far as cellular reception goes, this phone matches up with phones that are geared to being used as just cell phones. Also, the tasks, memo pad and calandar are just as easy and useful as the ones on the palm OS.

One other thing. Sprint customer service is
not aware of the following, so please note **The phone is powered through the Sprint Power Vision Service, however should you need a data connection (i.e. web browsing) you will need to add the Blackberry Data Package which is $40 a month additional to your plan.** Its slightly pricey but woth it....the browser is lighting fast. So much so that I am considering cancelling my DSL on my PC!
Overall, this phone is great and if you can afford it you should definetyl invest. I use it for personal use.
