I'm thinking of getting a blackberry. Anyone have any experience with these? I was thinking the 7100t...

Thanks!

 

wrong forum

 

I had the 7750, pretty good phone took alot of getting used to...played with 7250 kinda sharp....

THey are awsome phones if your doing alot of email...if not kinda a waste just because your paying extra for the data feature...

 

I have a 7100T... works great if you are constantly using email and data. I use it for everything... email, aol IM, sms, data, and phone.

The only drawback is the battery life sorta sucks.

 

7100 is a completly different unit then the others (7250, 7750, 6750, 6710, etc). The 7100 is for people who want a phone first and a PIM second. The others are for people who need a PIM first. I have a 7250 now and love it.

 

How is aim on it?? I had it on my treo and sucked nuts....

Vzw is coming out with something similar to the 7100 model very very soon with evdo....but wanted to know if aim was simliar to a sidekick..?

 

I don't use the client that the phone comes with because it indeed, does suck. I use VeriChat... it's fast and "live," so no lag.

 

I would recommend a Sony Ericsson P910 with the blackberry client software. I reviewed a 7100t a long time ago and never got used to the controls/functions on it.

 

Wait and get the 7105t, the screen was changed to allow better visibility outside from the sun's reflection.

 

I have the 7250 but use my Treo for phone calls.
