BlackBerry 7100 / 7105
Pre-Purchase Questions
I am seriously thinking of buying the Blackberry 7100 for Cingular. I have a few questions before I switch service and buy this devise. I travel on business throughout the entire USA (mostly large cities). I would use this device as a pone and as a way of getting my email. I do not plan to browse the internet with the Blackberry.
1. Is the ringer loud enough to be heard?
2. Is the earpiece loud enough to use?
3. Is the speakerphone loud and clear?
4. How are the voice qualities of this phone?
5. Can I use a bluetooth earpiece to "dial-out" on this phone?
6. Does this phone have voice dial?
Opinions on the phone in general as well as service with Cingular would also be appreciated.

I have had one for 2 days so take this with a grain of salt.
The ringer is pretty quiet, but there is a "classic" tone that you can select which is lound enough. The songs would be easily missed in a loud area like a shop floor or bar.
The earpiece and (I got a) Motorola HS810 BT earpiece are both pretty quiet, but adequate. I find most of the time I have them turned pretty much all the way up, occasionally turn them down.
Haven't tried the speakerphone other than to turn it on and hear noise once.
The BT will dial out, but apparently only the last number dialed. At least I see that from experimentation, but no documentation found yet.
Voice qualities -- sadly most of the time has been in poor coverage or loud backgrounds so...
