I just Bought a new Backberry 7290........ Am I one of the cool Kids now ??;)
 

I was going to go for the Treo , but after reading all the posts on here about the 7290, I decided to go with that one.Besides the keyboard on the treo was just a bit too small for my fingers. To top it all off my new phone # ends in 7290 :Graucho :Graucho

yeah, you're cool, I have the 7100 T

Ok, thats it! I've been waiting for mine since last week, you guys are making all the ones up here sold out and making me wait so screw you all!

WG

:1orglaugh don't let them get to you WG

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Poor Baby :winkwink:

Your just one of the sheep. baaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

yup I am so, a sheep with a 7290 :1orglaugh whichI can use world wide :thumbsup baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah baaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

man, you guys are killing me. i'm going to be the last one of my friends, and the last one on GFY to get one aren't i?

the 7100t is the cute version of the blackberry. :winkwink:

my 7520 is a manly tool. :thumbsup

why not the treo? I have one, though its the outdated 270 (that they fucked everyone on) I like the larger screen so I can ssh into my systems if need be. im not sure i see the benifit of the blackberry over the treo.

sorry, at your age you'll never be a "kid" again. whatever you do. :1orglaugh





























j/k - you are young in mind - that's what's counting... :winkwink:

If you don't see the benefit then it probaly doesn't fit you.

two words. Push E-Mail. Real time....instant at your fingertips.

Hmmmmmmmmm MO FO and what age is that :1orglaugh I'm young at heart :pimp

treo does the same thing. Read about products before commenting on them please.

I thought 7520 is the newest. I have it anyway..blackberries rock!

Yes, JFK.. You ARE! Congrats on that... ;)

sorry, but the treo sucks imo. i have a 650, and am selling it. after owning it for about a month i bought a 7290. it's hard to even compare the two. i love the blackberry, don't like the treo at all. always crashing, shitty keyboard, pain in the ass stylus operation, feels like it will fall apart if you flick it too hard. and the email simply ROCKS on the bb. the only weakness of the bb is that it doesn't have a built in camera/video camera... that's the only thing i'll miss about the treo.

anyway, to each his/her own :glugglug

sorry i didn't see this thread jfk, so you just bought it lol? what do you think?

not really, you should read up on products first. Treo's system is being improved but it is still not like RIM.

not true. treo checks for email at intervals. bb i send an email and it arrives in less than 2 seconds. it is faster than my laptop email.

if you read my post you will see that I was considering the treo, it just didnt fit my hand as well as the blackberry :pimp

7100 t is what tmobile has

the 7520 is fine if you want nextel, but I have their i730 and I'm starting to fall out of love with their service... only saving grace is the 2ways

read peoples posts? on this board?

but yeah the keyboard is really tiny. good point

it is, I was there fucking around for about a 1/2 an hr between the 2 keyboards, Blackberry won for ease of touch and size as well :thumbsup

nice JFK, now I just have to catch up with you cool boyz and get mine.

It's been on my to do list for like 2 months! LOL

Yeah baby, then we can Cyber :Graucho

damn right you're a definite cool kid now

eat your words yet?

i know i love the 7100t...i followed it all through development when it had the codename "charm". If they had one for Nextel I'd get one for sure. How does that keyboard work though? Its pretty weird. I can do 45 WPM on my blackberry...i don't know if i could pull that off on the 7100t.

Wow, you're speedy arent ya :1orglaugh

If buying little toys like that make someone cool, then I will never be. I don't waste money on things like that to get dropped, wet,stolen, or lost!

I,m into tech have a nice 110 inch sony projection tv blah blah......but i think those blackberrys really suck...... :pimp

give it time. i can type pretty fast looking ahead while driving. which isn't very safe but it gets shit done.

Treo's have the same email functionality as Blackberry now. Granted the service isn't cheap.

look around your house , I'm sure you have just described dozens of things you own :1orglaugh

The berry makes your life. You need it.

I havn't taking a speed test yet, but I can go fast, but only problem is when it thinks for you and the same key combo spells more then 1 proper version of the word

but what I do really like is it seems to learn and picks up on what you ttype abbreviations

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Congratz JFK!

:)

(I posted this elsewhere but thought it would be useful here as well)

I picked up the 7100t for my wife and I a few weeks ago

http://www.tmobile.com/images/produc...arge_front.jpg

I'm not as happy as I could be BUT the 7100 is good for all intents and purposes.

Web browsing is very slow on T-Mobile but I'm not sure about other providers. Email and messenging are more than adequate, and actually very good. IMO, utilizing Blackberry as "a service" is far superior to anything else out there in terms of accessing email.

T-Mobile as a cellular service provider is probably the worst in Los Angeles so altough I cancelled my Sprint service, I'm not going to cancel my Nextel and will use the Blackberry only as a backup (as I did with the Sprint phone).

Originally, I was impressed with fact that the phone is Bluetooth enabled and excited that I could go from headset to "hands free" in my car. The problem is that it's not seamless. First, I have to disable the headset, then enable the "hands free" for the car. If I forget, then I have to do it while driving and that makes it more work instead of less. It's not a great big deal, but I thought it would be easier.

Typing on the 7100 has become fairly easy over the past weak. It's just a matter of time to get used to it. I'm a hunt and peck typist with the keyboard as it is, so I'm not super fast to begin with. If you type quickly you should get the hang of this keyboard inside 1 week. Plus, the "predictive typing feature" speeds you along as you're learning to use it.

I haven't synced it up with all my contacts in Outlook yet, but will let you know how it goes when i find the time.

Moving forward, I've disconnected Bluetooth in my car altogether so I'll use the headset when driving. Other than that, I'll only really use the phone as a back up or to talk to my wife (FREE T-Mobile to T-Mobile minutes).

Most importantly, in terms of organizing contacts, scheduling meetings and events, taking notes, and general use as a day planner - it's fantastic, so it will add to my productivity in those areas, as well as - accessing email and mesenging!

Definitely a cool ass tool!

All in all, I give it a 8 out of a possible 10, however, my rating would have been higher if T-Mobile had faster web browsing ... other provders MAY IN FACT offer faster connections.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Congrats on the new toy pal! :thumbsup

I think this is the first JFK thread that he has NOT posted pics in!! :(
