BlackBerry 7130e

Ive never had a blackberry before and was wondering if I have this phone can it play sound clips from the internet, for example if i load xmradio.com and log in could I play xm radio on this phone, or any other audio from a webpage? Does any phone have windows media player or something like that?

Thanks a lot.

Yo ho ho,

I am curious if the 7130 has a real phone-like voice message indicator. I have a 7250 and the voice message waiting indicator doesn't work. It times out, or stops when I read messages. Sometimes I don't even know I have a message waiting until the next day. Sometimes it flashes as soon as someone leaves a voicemail.

This is the worst oversite in the world of cell phones, especially for a business phone. I am looking for a blackberry that keeps flashing until I actually check my voice messages. This is basic stuff that was in cell phones 7 years ago.

Go ahead, make my day and tell me this phone has a real cell phone too.

Getting word from Verizon insiders that the 7130 is out of stock at national distribution center(s) - (the website has said this for some time) - and that no shipments expected from RIM until mid-January.

Bummer for those of us with them on order!

First, let me say that I love the phone. I was using the Kyocera 7135 previously, and this is phone is way better than that one. Looks good, feels good in my hand, and I can't believe how clear the color screen is. Unbelievably fast when I'm on the internet. Love the EVDO.

I can live without the mp3 and the camera. However, I do miss the ability to download and store .doc and .xls files. I tried the eOffice from Dynoplex, but couldn't seem to get it to work properly. Can anyone offer another work-around for this situation?

Thanks.

Will a hard reset on the 7130e result in all data (phone logs, contacts, etc.) being lost?

Can you use Mobile Web on this, or do you have to add a data plan to use internet?

Please pardon my ignorance, but can someone please explain these things to me. I just got the 7130 and love it. The sales person at Verizon told me that EVDO is kind of like a high speed Internet access for the wireless phone. I've been reading that it allows for modem tethering. The documentation from RIM is minimal. I want to get the most out of this phone and really want to understand the features. Thanks.

I have had my 7130 for a couple of days now and so far I really like it. I have me service with Verizon. So far the only issue I am having is with the roaming indicator. It is always on. Verizon says they are nto sure what to do and suggest that I live with it or return the phone. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone else have a possible solution?

Thanks in advance!

anyone know how to remove it?

I'm new to the BB platform, so I'm sure this is a straight-forward setting, but how do you NOT show voice history (placed calls, received calls, missed calls) in the Messages/Inbox view? I'm interested in only showing Email and SMS in this view. Thanks in advance.

😢 does anyone know about an extended battery, and how much longer it last cuz this 3 hours wont work for me!! and when r they gonna make a bb with a camera or at least a memory card slot!!!!

these two companies allow syncing with blackberry to mac. pocket mac is already compatable with the 7130e for syncing but not the modem. i have been looking everywhere to find how to tether on mac, found some good info at evdoinfo.com

The other 7000 series phones are compatible (from Sprint & Cingular), but I have struggled to find a smartphone from Verizon that will work. Anyone know?

does anyone know if the phone can be tethered on a mac via usb?

Does anyone know if this supports voice dialing?

is it true that you cannot tx message on this phone. Also what kind of internet explorer does it come with. I currently have a 6600 and i can go to any website and get the FULL site. can I do that with the 7130

Hi,
I have been on PhoneScoop for quite awhile now, but just recently started considering getting a Blackberry and although I feel like I'm pretty knowledgeable about cell phones, I don't really know too much about the Blackberry to be honest. What I would like to know is....

1. What all can I do with it?

2. What are the advantages of having it over a regular cell phone?

3. What is the full retail price?

If anyone has any info for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.

Anyone know if this supports the Dial-Up Networking Bluetooth profile?

Would this unit be Mac compatible (syncing with address book, calendar) via Bluetooth or USB?
