The 7130e appeared on my desk friday morning. Moving from a 7250 over to the 7130e is a major undertaking. The keyboards dual key qwerty form is going to take adapting to. EV-DO is impressively super fast. Just for the fun of it we tested the Cingular 8700c's EDGE highspeed against the VZW 7130e's EV-DO and loading MSNBC, FOX News and CBS News' websites. The 8700c was behind by nearly 5 minutes. The 7130 has a crystal clear screen however if EDGE was as fast as EV-DO the 8700c would be my device of choice.
