Any idea if, and when, a 7100 series Blackberry might be available for Verizon?

Yeah, I too am really curious on this one. My son has a 7100t with tMobile just for email and evn though I am not a fan of the keyboard/sure type, I have played with the phone ringers and earpiece volume and it is MUCH better than my current (7250) bberry.

The 7130e BB will be released by VZW on 11/14/05. It will have EVDO and bluetooth sync capabilities. Unknown price.

Interesting, thanks!

Funny thing. I have been using Blackberry's for about 4 years, up until 3 weeks ago for email only and carried a separate phone. I have been really unhappy with the 7250 and couldn't wait till the 7130e came out. Now, my gut is to get the Verizon Razr when it comes out and go back to a Blackberry dedicated just for email and no phone plan.

Maybe the 7130e will sway me, right now though I am pretty gun shy. Thanks for the update jdonner!

I just got the 7100i for Sprint/Nextel last week and the whole company switched to Verizon. That sucks cause of the whole walkie-talkie thing BUT the 7100i is the best phone/pda I have ever had. I get the new models to test/train and the 7100 is fantastic. Give suretype a day and you will hate qwerty.

The 7100 series is the future. Too bad the guts of the 8700 did not get the form factor of the 7100. That would be a moon shot.

I will give the xv6600 2 weeks but I fully expect to get the first 7130c in Sacramento. May have to sell my soul but I will get it.

As long as the 7130e does not cost me more than say $450, I will give it a shot. I have no incentives right now on my account but I am willing to spend the $$$ to see it in action! I am hoping that indeed it is out in just a few more weeks as has been mentioned in several forums.

Well, I am personally waiting for the 6700 on Verizon, but I thought I would give you guys something else to talk about:

Thanks for this. I keep going back and forth. One minute I am getting the 7130e and the next I am going back to carrying two (cell and bberry) devices. I keep reminding myself that my decision can't be influenced by my strong dislike of the 7250.

As for the 6700, not a good option for me. After 20+ years, I got cured of Windows disease last year and now use a MAC ;-)
