I bought this phone as a back up for my newer model Blackberry. It states AT&T unlocked. I put my TMobile SIM card in, plugged the battery charger in and made my first phone call in less than 5 minutes after getting it out of the mailbox. I'll have to say...there's something to be said for old school. Though it came w/o a manual and this model doesn't have a trackball, which is the only way I've ever used a smart phone, it was sooo easy to figure out. I'll give it to my husband who is not tech savvy at all, but now he'll have a BlackBerry also (unless something happens to mine and I have to take it back). This was an awesome deal for me and it's an awesome phone. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone that's interested. Another great thing about it is the size of the keys. They are much larger than the ones on my Blackberry, making it much easier to dial numbers and text. Buy one! You won't be sorry!Read full review
The only phone that I can see the LCD screen in bright sunlight. It is even better than the e-ink reader I own. This phone makes it easy to transfer outlook address to the phone. The vibrate feature is the best in this category. Even after all the abuse, and the product that was released 7-8 years ago, it is one RELIABLE phone. Drop it a couple of times, and it still works great. I had the samsung blackjack and the sharp sidekick. Both product failed in less tha a year. I also have used Nokia musicxpress, and the touchscreen fails. All those fancy features is useless, if the product fails especially when you are travelling in another country. Just slip in the sim card, and you know it works. After all those abuse, ths phone works great for a price less than $20.
I love the old blackberry products. Some things in life are best left uncomplicated - no music, no video, etc. Just a work horse that gets the job done. There are some features that could use updating such as a speakerphone. But, overall there is no easier keyboard, longer batterry life, or rugged product on the market. RIM is missing a big void by not offering business work horses like the original products. Everything has its place - I have an iPad and other techno toys, but I have a demanding corporate job that requires I be productive - else I won't have a personal life. I don't need complicated equipment to slow me down.
my husband had broken his blackberry so i gave him mine i bought the 7290 as a phone to hold me over till i can get the one i want but am seriously considering keeping this one the only drawback i i can't bbm i am a texter not a talker so prefer this type of phone i use my blackberry to keep me organised at home as well as at work and this phone does just that like i said the only draw back is that i cant blackberry message with it there is no upgrade so what ya get is what ya got don't buy the phone if ya plan to upgrade the os on it cause ya cant but other than that its a great phone
I wanted a phone for purely text, since that is the plan I have, I love this phone, it is easy to type on, gets good reception and is just what I wanted. I had an iPhone first, and it is almost impossible to text onb an iPhone, the letters are so close to each other, that your fingers press every letter next to the one you want to press! The Blackberry is great! I recommend it to anyone that texts a lot!
