Join Date: Jul 2002 Location: Upstate, SC Posts: 1,669 | Any Blackberry Users out there? Hey all,
I have been with Sprint for probably close to 15 years now and my latest contract just ran out and I have been getting the nagging calls from them trying to get me on another 2 year commitment. I don't want to debate providers here, I have been with Sprint for a long time because I have been happy with them. I am really looking to take advantage of the offers they are throwing my way. The wife and I currently spend almost $90 a month on our two plans and they offered me a shared plan for $59 a month which will save us a bundle. I have been looking at a Blackberry for some time but can't decide between the two models Sprint offers. I was hoping I could get some input from current Blackberry users.
The 7130e is $119 and the 8703e is $299 but they are offering a $100 mail in rebate.

If you make it until June the new Bold/9000 is coming out, new OS.
Blackberry is for email, if that is not your first priority I would look elsewhere. Browsing, get an IPhone. | |

Join Date: Mar 2005 Posts: 5,282 | Re: Any Blackberry Users out there? you should check out the January 08' edition of Consumer Reports magazine (best & worst cell phone deals). if you're happy with Sprint great, but in their cell-phone service/ratings, Sprint was bottom-ranked out of all the carriers they surveyed. the carriers surveyed were Alltel, Verizon, T-Mobile (i made the switch to from Cingular/AT&T and couldn't be happier, Cingular/AT&T's claim of the fewest dropped calls is a joke), AT&T, and Sprint. the two top carriers that were neck in neck were Verizon and T-Mobile...
Alltel - one of the better providers in the three metro areas for which we had adequate survey data.
Verizon - among the better carriers this year and in our earlier surveys.
T-Mobile - another solid performer that often offers more for your money.
AT&T - home of the i-phone but trails the better carriers in almost all respects.
sprint - bottom-ranked of carriers we rate. | |

We're getting the Bold (when avail) at when work and i'll switch that and then switch to the Blackberry touch screen in Q3.
We had goodlink and blackberry running at the same time and I much preferred the Palm Treo over blackberry phones. Oh well....
