...but if you go posting "hearsay" up here, you get flamed most of the time. Anyway, this Blackberry is a DONE DEAL and will be carried by Cingular before the year is over (according to said rep).

Adding quad band support and little touches like brighter screens keeps giving this line added functionality. So much so I may have to start looking at these devices.

I don't agree that this is the crappy one. I don't think typing email on the Tmobile phone is a viable option. What would you use, Itap? It's not a full keyboard. This Blackberry has the full keyboard, and is great for typing anything longer than 160 characters. It does look better though...

Now if this thing had EDGE, it would be killer!! 😳

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it... 😉

The 7100 has the same QWERTY layout as a "full" keyboard, and in practice you can type on it exactly the same way. That's the big innovation of that keyboard design.

Yes, it has something like iTAP - RIM calls it SureType. But it works much better than iTAP, because there are only two letters per key, so it can guess the words correctly much more often, plus it's adaptive.

I've tried it, and I would definitely consider it a viable option.

Any ideas what happened with Cingular? The New Blackberry 7290 was available and orderable on their web site and then around Wednesday, they pulled it.
