O goody!

🙄 So, forgive me for sounding naive, but I've never understood the value of Blackberry products. I mean, yeah, you get your email, but so do gsm phones. Besides that, do they even really do anything? I just don't quite get the point. But hey, it's got a brighter color screen! 😲

Will Sprint carry the 7250?

I wonder if Sprint will carry this Blackberry anytime soon. By the way, what does Sprint charge for unlimited data on a blackberry? And Verizon for that matter. I've never had a blackberry and I have recently been checking them out online. I need something with a good screen and full web browsing ability. I've heard about this 7250 recently and people seem to like it more than other blackberrys. What do you people think?

The 7750 that sprint does carry, is only available to business customers, so they may do the same with the 7250.

I know most companies charge more for the blackberry data because it automatically includes the push email.

Bluetooth

Go Figure, another potentially awsome product that will be a Verizon hack job - Hey, here an idea, a convergance device with full bluetooth !!!

Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest.

Rich Brome

Well, in this case, it isn't Verizon. All Bluetooth BlackBerries have limited profiles. And Verizon claims they only "cripple" Bluetooth on BREW devices, which this is not.
