New Phones???????
I know that there is a lot of speculation as to the availability of new phones. Specifically, I am looking for a Blackberry 7100 series. I do not want the old, clunky, Blackberry 7250 that just came out under Verizon. The Blackberry 7100 is shaped like a phone and the voice characteristics are great. It also is able to received "pushed" email which is a definite requirement for me.
I have even considered leaving Verizon and going to Cingular in order to get this new phone. I know that a change from Verizon is definitely a step back but I am really tempted.
Anyone out there know of a new phone that will be available soon that will meet my needs. Don't even mention the Audiovox XV6600. I had it for a few days and you can't even...

I think the 7100 series Blackberries are GSM type phones for T-Mobile etc.
The new Blackberry 7250 is a nice device and smaller than the 7750 (which I have).

You are right the 7100 series currently are GSM, but they are really a phone with a Blackberry built in while your device the 7250 or the 7750 is really a Blackberry with a phone built in. They are much smaller and do a lot more then either Blackberry that Verizon offers.
What I was trying to say was that I would love to use a device configured like the 7100 series with Verizon (I do know that the 7100 series currently does not work with CDMA) and was hoping that one would be available soon.

Thanks for your reply.
Two problems with the 650. I know the keyboard on the 650 has changed but it still is way too small for me to use (I tried). Secondly, the 650 does not have "push" email. I know that the Treo 650 is based on the Palm OS. Does anyone know if you can use graffiti on the 650. I think that I would find graffitti faster (for me to use) than the tiny keyboard on the 650..

Actually, I believe there are many push-email solutions for Palm OS. Verizon bundled Wireless Sync from Intellisync with the Treo 600, and I'm guessing they will do the same or something similar with the 650.

how shortly will the treo 650 be coming out I am dying to get this phone. I had the audiovox and its sucks a$$
