Has anyone done a comparison of features, screen quality, etc between these two new devices?


I can get a great deal on the Cingular 7290 (since I'm on Cingular already) but getting a 7100 will be a bit more difficult but I'll go for it if it is significantly better.

I'm planning the switch from my current Handspring Treo600 to the BB.

Hard to say really. I think the 7290 will be a real killer in all honesty. My only real gripes about it would be a lack of OBEX via Bluetooth.

Some people will complain about the display unless they did a reflective one. In that case I'd probably complain it wasn't bright enough indoors.

Can't please everyone I guess.

I have a 7230 and a 7100t. They are both great devices! I prefer the 7230 and I am looking forward to seeing the 7290. I consider a Blackberry to be a business tool. As a result, email, integrated phone, contact management, battery life, storage capacity, display quality and signal reception is what I consider important.

SureType is a personal choice. I prefer the full keyboard on the 7230. However, SureType is really very good once you get use to it.

7100t Pros:

- Nice display for indoor use.

- Twice the memory

- Speaker Phone

- Dedicated "Talk" and "End" Keys

- Bluetooth

- Enhanced attachment viewing.

- T-Mobile is very customer service oriented.

7100t Cons:

- Display is not great in direct sunlight

- I have signal strength problems with the 7100t in the Washington DC Area. I have not heard anyone else complain about this so far. You may not have this problem in your area.

- Battery Life ??? ( Still undecided - need more time with the device)

I guess my real question is, are the features of the 7100 and 7290 the same or similar and is the only difference the form factor?

No speakerphone on 7290.

I have a blackberry 7100g..i've been able to ''add devices'' and add my friend's onto my phone..but when it comes to them locating me on their phone to send songs and pictures they cant find my name. can someone help me? (I hope i've worded the question right

I recomend you post new threads instead of using old ones . Anyway, you can't transfer images or songs via bluetooth to your 7100g.

Check the Ringtones, Themes and Wallpaper Discussion forum, there's a post about how to transfer images to your 7100.

You woke up a two year old thread and posted a new question to it...

As the previous poster said, you can't do it.
