Pros: Functionality, speakerphone, bluetooth, email, Internet, graphics, clarity. Great size for a Blackberry.
Cons: Costly. Data plans offered are too high, which will dissuade potential customers. Battery.
Verizon Wireless finally came out with a cool looking Blackberry! I was debating on whether to switch to Cingular or back to T-Mobile - because both of those companies offered the "slimmer" Blackberry. I checked out Verizon's Web site and noticed ...

With its Bluetooth headset support, the BlackBerry 7290 becomes much more viable as a combination PDA/phone rather than just a traditional e-mail handheld device... And as a quad-band GSM device, the BlackBerry 7290 can travel the world... If you're already a BlackBerry fan, want to upgrade from a previous generation, and like the idea of wireless headsets, the 7290 will be right up your alley.

Yet another solid BlackBerry that belongs on every e-mail addict?s wish list. Be sure to shop around; we?ve seen the 7290 for as little as $50 under recent promotions.

This device is a great PDA. Very function-rich. It took a little doing to get used to the trackwheel and how to navigate around. The browser works well. And getting my corporate email is terrific. But forget trying to open attachments unless you have a lot of time to kill? But as a phone, it's very disappointing. Trying to hear is very difficult, it's cumbersome to dial and and awkward to use. I miss the voice dial feature I had on my LG. The phone is sufficiently unwieldy and has such poor sound quality that I'm considering getting a standard phone and just using the BB for it's PDA/email functions.

This is my second blackberry. This model is significantly better than the previous model. It has a much brighter screen, a lighted keypad, bluetooth, improved firmware etc. The best thing about blackberries is BES software that provides seamless connectivity to the my corporate Microsft Exchange based outlook software. It provides bi-directional updates between Exchange and the blackberry. No need to do explicit syncing anymore. Its ability to view email attachments is very useful. One essential thing that is missing is a speakerphone. While travelling, this is indispensible as I can check all the emails, without having to boot up my laptop and finding a wi-fi hotspot. Works fine in europe and asia. Other things I wish they add are an mp3 player, a mpeg-4 video player, a gps device and a wifi voip phone. Since the technology to do this already exists, hopefully the next version of blackberry would fill these holes. I need to reduce the number of tech gadgets I carry around.

The RIM BlackBerry 7290 for T-Mobile boasts a color display, Bluetooth, an easy-to-use interface, and extensive e-mail support. The world phone is also compact? Sleek and simple, the RIM BlackBerry 7290 for T-Mobile is a great option for on-the-go types.

A little Bluetooth goes a long way?and simplifies BlackBerry phone calls.

Though nothing revolutionary, the addition of multimedia features and the already solid e-mail capabilities make the RIM BlackBerry Pearl an attractive device for business users and consumers alike.

There's no doubt about it, the Pearl is a huge step forward for RIM. This smartphone offers features that many current and potential BlackBerry users have been wanting for years... But, for all its progress, I think this company still has a ways to go. Its implementation of some of the new multimedia features in the Pearl is a bit clumsy and are in real need of polish. And it still lacks features business users want, like better and easier access to Microsoft Office files.

In case you hadn?t noticed, the smart phone is no longer just a buttoned-down business tool for executives. It is Best for Style-obsessed hipsters who want the most portable keyboard phone possible.
