CNET Review
The Good: The RIM BlackBerry 7100i can deliver e-mail in real time from up to 10 corporate/personal accounts, and it supports Nextel's walkie-talkie services. The device also features a sharp screen, a speakerphone, integrated Bluetooth, and solid call quality.
The Bad: The SureType keyboard on the RIM BlackBerry 7100i takes some acclimation, and the device uses a proprietary instant-messaging client.
The Bottom Line: The RIM BlackBerry 7100i is a great all-in-one device for Nextel customers who want instant access to e-mail and voice calls.
