here's the deal : leaving Cingular since they cannot get my bill straight and after countless calls nothing changes . all reps seem to give me different answers to the same question ... uh , huh ? lol . anyway , i like T-mobile but i also have an issue with the 8700 size and key placement ... while i love the phone and web speed of the 8700 i have fat fingers and chubby palms , lol , so using the smaller BB is kinda hard for me ... now i would like opinions from all and any 7290 users since i LOVE the feeling of this phone ... plz let me know the main differerences and what i might miss with the 7290 t-mobile versus my 8700c ... i thought about getting the 8700G for t-mobile but its the exact same size as the Cingular 8700c .... like i said , love the look and feel of the 7290 but don't know anything about the speed , reliability , or overall performance of the web and instant messengers features of this particular BB . thankx to all in advance .
