7250 vs. 7290

[jmj]

Can anyone advise if the Verizon 7250 model is louder than the Cingular or Tmobile 7290? I have problems hearing my 7230 with tmobile even with the volume all the up.

I don't know if CDMA vs. GSM actually makes a difference but I am curious.

Not really, you may just have problems with the speaker on the phone.

The 7250 and 7290 are pretty much the same phone other than one is GSM/GPRS and the other is CDMA/1xRTT

I think 1xRTT is probably faster than GPRS but not really that noticable. If the EVDO software update comes out it would be nice on the 7250 but you won't see anything like streaming video on it, just really fast browsing and mail downloading.
