I noticed that cingular is selling the 7290 for $149.99 w/ $50.00 mail-in rebate. My thing is this with the introduction of the 8700c for cingular how much of a difference is there really in performance? I know the 8700c has the speakerphone and the email notification LED but what about the keyboard on the 8700c? This is going to be my first blackberry and i wanted to get one that is able to take a hit, bump, fall even from time to time. I have read post after post about the 7290 being more durable is this really the case?

What should i do ladies and gentlemen?

-Thanks
