Reviews of the RIM BlackBerry 7130e (Verizon Wireless)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The sleek RIM BlackBerry 7130e boasts a bright, sharp display, a speakerphone, and integrated Bluetooth. The smart phone is also compatible with Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, and BlackBerry servers, and it can access up to 10 POP3/IMAP e-mail accounts.
The Bad: The SureType technology found on the RIM BlackBerry 7130e takes some practice, and it doesn't come equipped with an instant-messaging client.
The Bottom Line: Despite a couple of shortcomings, the RIM BlackBerry 7130e offers Verizon Wireless customers a user-friendly smart phone with solid call quality.

Review Summary: The 7130e is one of the few BlackBerry devices that lacks a QWERTY keyboard--and we miss it.

Review Summary: The BlackBerry 7130e makes for a compact and speedy messaging companion, and you can't beat the handset's push e-mail and PIM synching abilities. Unfortunately, it's hobbled by its tricky SureType keypad, which can't quite measure up to a true QWERTY thum
