BB 7520 - my first impressions
Hi,
I just received my 7520 yesterday - looks very nice, somewhat of a charcoal color. The battery door from my 7510 fit fine (although, while the black 6510 door also fit, it was a hair different in color). All of my cases for the 7510 fit the 7520 perfectly. I like the screen and two-stage white backlighting. The illuminated keys are a nice touch too. I don't know if the bezel (around the screen) is metal or "flash-plastic" but it has a cool brushed-metal look. 32mb of memory will allow more games and goodies too, but the existing 7510 apps I had didn't run well on the 7520.
I just used the included CD disc to install the latest desktop software on my PC, then pluged it in and everything worked great. It even automatically ho...

Finally, bluetooth
This is excellent. Bluetooth functionality on a PDA phone. It's about time.
Cingular has had the RIM 7290 for 2 months - it has Bluetooth as well!

There are actually a good number of PDA-phones with Bluetooth:

The 7510 was barely squintable.

Where's the 7100 series for Nextel?
I have been using the 7510 since it came out and love it BUT, I am anxiously awaiting the release of the 7100 series, on the Nextel network. Any inside info? Bluetooth and GPS aren't enough for me to upgrade to the 7520. I have been with just about every national provider in the US and think the coverage and customer service at Nextel is the best.
