Mark,
Thank you for your very fast reply.

I am about to buy one of them from ebay, but not sure which one. The 7730 bigger screen is nice, but were initially uncertain of the screen quality (brightness) compare to 7290. The only bb I've seen is 7230 in a retail shop under the bright light, seems ok, but I'm sceptical under low or dim light.
I will mainly use it as an organiser (heavily) and second as a phone, but not the email function (hah? yes strange isn't it?).Well the reason is I love the ease operation compare to my treo. My preference is easy to operate and simple.

My wife should use bb with email, because with her treo600 she uses 95% of it for sms only, and it's about 400 to 500 sms permonth. She is thinking about it now.

Besides the above basic progams, I will add other programs such as sheet (excell), word, conversions, time tracker, money, stopwatch, dictionary, and another 2 programs.

- Do you think the 16mb memory will hold all these programs?
- As mentioned, I've seen only the 7230. Hopefully the 7730 is birghter.
- The 7290 has 250mhz arm9. What about 7730 and 7230?
- With the 7290 bluetooth can we also sync it to the computer? Or is it just for earpace only?
