  • A Major Improvement In The Blackberry World

    Sep 30 '05
    Pros: Size; style; improved phone operation; much improved display; Blackberry email
    Cons: non-EDGE,non-3G compatable (upcoming model addresses this); tech support

    Summary: For the past year, I've used a Blackberry 7280 to get my corporate email. I become hooked; now I know why they call them "Crackberries". As an email device, the 7280 is great. The 7280 broke the tether that kept me (and any other professional who has ... read more

  • Awesome Smartphone, a great product from RIM

    Jan 20 '07
    Pros: Features, Reception, SureType/MultiTap, Speakerphone, Price
    Cons: Nothing

    Summary: I had the Motorola RAZR which I liked, but sold. I wasn't impressed with it after awhile, in fact the only thing I liked about it was the reception. I sold it and got a new unlocked Blackberry 7230 on ebay and I really liked that, especially for text ... read more

  • A major step for Blackberry

    Jan 16 '06
    Pros: Bluetooth headset support, small/light form factor, beautiful screen, polyphonic ringtones
    Cons: Small keyboard, difficult ringtone transfer, battery life, handicapped Bluetooth, screen dark unless active

    Summary: The Blackberry 7100 is a major step forward for the Blackberry community, although it is also a step back. I'll explain. RIM introduced the 7100 series, which is basically the same phone for all carriers (the letter after the model indicates which ... read more

  • Great for email, phone quality is fair--especially if you have T-Mobile

    Nov 07 '05
    Pros: see below
    Cons: see below

    Summary: I was recently forced to switch from my trusted Treo 650 (gave it to my wife) to the Blackberry 7100t by my company. Pros: 1. This is much more of a phone than all the other Blackberry devices. 2. It is GREAT for email--actually BETTER than the Treo ... read more

  • Best Blackberry on the market.

    Nov 04 '05
    Pros: Great display, intelli-type works really well, crystal clear speakerphone, bluetooth, quad-band, lightweight
    Cons: Display is difficult to read outdoors (but it's great indoors).

    Summary: This is a great phone! The screen is awesome. As far as a Blackberry, I came from a 7250 (VZW) and I am *much* happier with this one. The data connection is much faster (ie, web page downloads). The screen is easier to read. The phone is ... read more

  • A GREAT SURPRISE

    Jun 27 '05
    Pros: phone, speakerphone, bluetooth, design, screen, applications, options, battery, reception
    Cons: applications, fragile, keypad

    Summary: Before purchasing the RIM 7100t, I had service with AT&T, now Cingular and had kept the same Nokia phone for 3.5 years. When my contract was up, I couldn't wait to get away from Cingular but was having a hard time choosing between Verizon and T-mobile. ... read more

  • Could have been great but instead is just good

    Jun 01 '05
    Pros: Most phone-like Blackberry ever with reliable email functionality.
    Cons: Non-intuitive keyboard and so-so battery life. Cingular tech support is terrible.

    Summary: I went from a Blackberry 7230 to a Palm Treo 650 and finally got a Blackberry 7100; all from Cingular. I hated the phone feature on the 7230 because it was clumsy. The hang-up button was right where you held the phone so I was constantly hanging-up. The ... read more

  • Meet The Clever RIM Blackberry 7100t Morphed Cell Phone

    Apr 28 '05
    Pros: Looks & feels good; secure in many ways, no accidental number pushing. Phone works Well.
    Cons: Limited Bluetooth capabilities, no external storage also not enough pda software.

    Summary: Black Berry Exposed (7100t) A Very Bold Phone All you really need to know is that it is a well thought out phone. They key guard themselves (flushed to touch)and a cutting edge design which blends them together all in one. Accidental ... read more

  • Excellent

    Feb 06 '05
    Pros: Great IM client, very usable keyboard, compact, great price! Fantastic if-you-live-in-a-good TMobile reception area
    Cons: deceptive signal strength meter, short battery life, no camera

    Summary: FIRST OFF.... 1. Tmobile sets the default display theme to Tmobile's own color scheme. Very deceptively, this scheme's background shows five full green bars even when there is NO SIGNAL!. It's actually the # of black bars overlaying the green ... read more

  • Well thought out PDA/Phone Combo for the connected individual

    Feb 01 '05
    Pros: Always on e-mail, cool instant messaging, great combination of PDA and cell Phone
    Cons: Limited 3rd party software, seems fragile, no docking cradle or base

    Summary: Like you reading this I wanted to ditch my cell phone and PDA so I can use one "SmartPhone" instead of two old units. To give you and idea of prior functionality I had a Nextel i95CL cell phone and a Toshiba e740 PDA. Useful features of the Nextel ... read more

  • The Little Blackberry With Bragging Rights (for Upgraders)

    Feb 01 '05
    Pros: The screen is the best so far; sharp, clear, and easy to read.
    Cons: The keyboard requires learning how to type differently.

    Summary: Removing the item from the box you'll be struck by two things: the smaller size and the strange keyboard. The keyboard is in fact, not really a keyboard, but an expanded cellphone dial pad with letters on it. The narrower design of the unit fits nicely ... read more

  • For the geek on the go!

    Jan 13 '05
    Pros: small size, geek points, email everywhere, built-in messenger client
    Cons: one from address, should use a proxy to help with larger graphical sites

    Summary: This is an amazing phone. I love staying in touch with friends all the time. I crave connectivity. This gives me what I crave. Imagine, being out at the relatives, bored silly with no computer anywhere in sight. Well, that happened to me at ... read more

  • Excellent email, phone; steep but fast learning curve

    Jan 02 '05
    Pros: Great for email. Terrific telephone. Small and light.
    Cons: Not for the technology challenged but not just for geeks. Clunky for adding Contacts/Appointments.

    Summary: This is a great device. To decide whether you should purchase, you must decide what's most important. If easy, frequent access to email is a priority, then get it. If updating your Appointments and Contacts is most important, stay away. The device also ... read more

  • HORRENDOUS PHONE, YOU'D BE BETTER OFF WITH TWO CUPS AND A STRING

    Jan 25 '06
    Pros: Getting rid of this phone entirely or NOT BUYING IT
    Cons: Recent lawsuit loss, horribly slow internet, small keys, smart keys don't work, battery life

    Summary: Internet: First, the phone has Internet (WOWEE!!!) which is of no use to the average consumer. The Internet takes forever and the gimmick wears off the 1st day you own the phone. We're not talking cable folks, not even Wi-Fi, we're talking Fred

  • Not a bad info phone, but its no Treo..

    Oct 25 '05
    Pros: Nice feel, syncs easily with outlook.
    Cons: Very difficult to add third party software.

    Summary: I thought I would save a few bucks converting from the treo to the blackberry only to learn the big differences. (you get what you pay for). While this phone is OK at doing some of the same things as the treo, the degree of difficult is much higher. In
