Am looking into buying Blackberry 7230 or 7290 at this time. Need to know if there is such thing like a flashing antennae available for these models like some cell phones. I just want to be able to put down the PDA instead of being "tethered" to it. Please advise. Thanks...

What is a flashing antenna? The 7230/7290 do not have external antenna.

As was already mentioned, the 7230 and 7290... in fact, the entire 7200 series... have INTERNAL antennas. So, there's no way to attach a flashing antenna.

HOWEVER... they DO have a small, red, LED in the upper right corner. You can set it to blink when you get new messages. You can set how many times it blinks. You can even set it to blink with incoming phone calls. In your sound profiles, you turn the LED usage on & off from a setting called Repeat Notification. That should at least let you get close to what you want it to do.

Hope that helps.

Well you have something like that with the Nextels. Just put them next to a CRT monitor and call it. The monitor will shake and flicker like crazy.

Now how about a flashing keypad? I needs me some bling!
