Blackberry users?

So who's a Blackberry user?

http://www.blackberry.net/products/b...rry7100t.shtml



This thing looks pretty dang schweet

Too bad I am an AT&T/Cingular customer and this is only for T-Mobile ... Anyone know if something like this is coming out for the ATT/Cingular GSM folks?

the 7100t sux... i been playing with it for 2 weeks and hate it. it gots bluetooth is the only plus even though u cant transfer mp3 or videos into it, because the bluetooth on it only works with headsets or bluetooth vehicles.

they do that on purpose, the primary user or the largest amount of users.. for blackberry devices are goverment workers, they dont want anything to be able to leave the device without leaving a trace of where it was sent..ect...

I spent a morning playing with a 7100. I can't say I'm impressed. The two letters per key thing is a bit frustrating and the predictive text program kept crashing. Plus the thing takes forever to boot up.

My Blackberry is the bane of my existence, but I have to be accessible to people because I have a 3 hour time difference. In my profession, it's a standard benefit that your firm gives you... but the rub is that we collectively have to type a LOT of words, so anything but a full QWERTY keyboard wouldn't work.

Yeah ... you all are probably right. A lot of flash, but might be a hit to the functionality that has made the Blackberry popular. I told my boss yesterday that my BB was like my 2nd brain Being able to have over the wire calendar and email in real time is huge for me, but equally important is a nice easy to use QWERRTY keyboard. My 7210 is quite awkward when you try to hold it up to your ear as a phone ... but heck ... I never do that - over the ear headset
