Great phone - I find my 7100r to be a much more useful business tool than my Treo 600.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/Anyone switched from the older Blackerry to this new keyboard version? How does typing differ from one to the other?
Thanks,

Well thats sort of how I feel looking at these BB 7100's lined up all sexy-like. Dont get me wrong, my new chica (the treo 650) is a sexy beast... but that black BB7100 is a hot lil tramp aint she.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/
Probably not the coolest analogy for my response.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/
The mail push feature is great, It takes 15 seconds for a mail to get into my blackberry after going through 3 servers (mi server @deadsunrise.com >>> forwarded to @gmail.com >> forwarded to the @vodafone.es for push mail). Not having the 5 or 15 minutes lag that's usuall when checking pop boxes is very nice.

You can also install other software in it, I ssh into my servers without any problem. The keyboard is very nice, fast and well built. The preentive text is also good because there are only 2 characters in each key so it's more acurate and almost never misses a word.


I paid 210$ for it and 25$ monthly for an unlimited traffic GPRS connection (if not you have to pay 1€/1Mb and that's VERY expensive)

Having the unlimited internet plan makes the device very usefull to check things like bloglines or anwser my forums private messages (which has to be done my http)]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/16/rim-ctia-blackberry-7100-series-mania/My only complaints:
1. No native mac sync (I am a mac user)
2. no unicode (half my contacts are in greek)
