Verdict
I firmly believe that it’s about time that RIM bit the bullet and started making two models of each BlackBerry – one for corporate use and one for consumers. By offering a model with an integrated camera and Bluetooth file exchange, RIM could attract a whole host of new users. The fact that the 7130g has a whole host of consumer friendly features highlights this issue.


That aside, the 7130g is a great handset and easily the best that RIM has produced so far. I’ve been using it for the past few weeks and found it to be a great mobile companion, and not just for email. The dimensions and design make it a perfectly usable mobile phone, while features like the integrated Google Maps and fast web browsing make it extremely versatile.
If you’re worried about the reduced number of keys don’t be, SureType really is good and you’ll soon find yourself tapping out emails as fast as you would with a full QWERTY BlackBerry. Although I still firmly believe that there aren’t that many people that absolutely MUST have their email anytime and anywhere, if you feel that you are one of those people, this is the device you want. - Read More

Nice review. Question: Whatever happened to the reviews that you sent me a PM about?

Honestly, I don't like the look. Too boxy maybe? OF course I love my full keyboard.

I hope this is the model that T-Mobile USA gets. I don't like the look of the Cingular model. That is too boxy for me LOL

Maybe it's a guy thing...(???)

I LOVE the boxy look.

I like the looks of it. The screen looks a tad larger than my 8700. But still, I just don't want to give up my Qwerty key board. Altho, that is a nice looking Blackberry.
