    "AWESOME DEVICE" on by ketzilover

    Pros: Smaller than other cell phone/pda combos, user friendly interface,

    Cons: no camera and limited ringer and theme downloads

    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.

    your review is helpful....I just exchanged the Treo 700p for this Blackberry 7130e right before I read your review. I hope I'm making the right choice. I liked the treo but the size and the stub antenna I can do without. I originally wanted this blackberry but didn't want to pay the extra $40 for the data plan but Sprint worked with me today on other discounts so i'm only going to pay $7 a month more than what I pay now (long story). I should get it next week.....just ordered it today. I don't need the camera or mp3's on my phone....i need great txt msging, email, calendar, phone, spkrphone, and bluetooth. So for sure you are liking it better than the Palm phone?

    The EVDO network surprisingly fast. I could live off internet with it for the most part. I ran back to back tests @ speakeasy.com and pulled 735kbps and 768kbps consecutively. This phone should utilizesthe blackberry data plans - NOT the Power vision plans. Power vision data plans are for Air Cards and are more expsensive.

    Please adivce, does this phone have good reception? and good noise filter? I hate Razar, because its has poor reception and bad speaker, its pick up all noise around me. I love Sanyo phone, its does have excellent on noise filter. <br>Since email contact is very important to me, I am think of Blackberry for a while.
