Great forum! I've got a PPC 6700 with Sprint and have found it to be a useful device, but its size (weight) and battery life are keeping me from carrying as often as I'd like at work. I use it for email and scheduling as well as voice (my job has Sprint as its preferred carrier and has repeater antennas everywhere.) I also tether my laptop when traveling.
Sprint is planning to add the BB 7130e and I was wondering if I should switch . It seems similar in size but by specs is 1/3 lighter (2oz). This could be a significant difference as I can't carry the 6700 on my scrubs without an embarrassing gravitational effect! I was hoping to be able to use voice and check my schedule (exchange server) while at work, as well as email and tether on the road.
Are there any VZW users that have tried both? I went to a corporate store and they weren't helpful.
Thanks
