CNET Review
The Good: The RIM BlackBerry 7290 for Cingular Wireless boasts a color display, Bluetooth, an easy-to-use interface, and extensive e-mail support. The world phone is also compact.
The Bad: We didn't like the dim screen or the lack of a speakerphone and expandable memory on the BlackBerry 7290.
The Bottom Line: Sleek and simple, the RIM BlackBerry 7290 is a great option for on-the-go types.
