Can anyone tell me which of these two is a better choice? I used to own a 7290 with T-Mobile as a backup and am thinking about getting a unlocked 7100g, mainly because it has speakerphone. Which is better? Thanks!

I've had both, and there are some differences to look at. First, there is the obvious keyboard difference. The Truetype on the 7100 does pretty good, but takes a bit of getting used to when you have been using the full keyboard. I now have a 7130, and find I don't really have a preference at this point. The other difficult issue with the 7100 is that it is almost impossible to see the screen in the sunlight. Makes things tough. I really like the size and shape of the 7100/30, though, and overall I think the 71XX is my fave.
