Move, thanks, that was exactly what i was looking for. My boss offered me her 7290 to try it out. However the common complaint I have heard was that the GSM coverage in my area was not good even today. Also I have heard that gsm phones give no warning when they are about to drop a call when signal is getting bad. My loaner motorola did that when i had it for a couple of weeks so I have been reluctant to move over to an 8700 and rely on it for everything. I have no doubt that the data part will work well but blackberry phones dont have the best rep for use as a telephone.

I'd love to hear what you think of the 7130e once you get it. thanks
