My work is going to get me a BlackBerry through Cingular. I've never had one before and I'm pretty excited. I can either get a 7290 now (have it in about two weeks) or wait for the 8700c.

According to our IT department, Cingular is telling them the first week of November is when the 8700c is going to be released.

So, should I hold out and hope that this is good information or should I just bite the bullet and get the 7290? If I get the 7290, I have to wait for at least 18 months before I can upgrade.

Thanks
