I hope the release of OS 4.1 is soon. I was very close to going back to using my T610 because I was missing my contact related ringtones. But I decided to stick it out because of the other features my BB 7100t offers

You're absolutely right Jeff. I believe that the 7100i from Sprint/Nextel as well as the 8700 series run OS 4.1 and have the feauture as well. I wonder how long it will be before the carriers release 4.1 for older models?

The ringtone to the contact functionality is more about the newest version of the BB OS than it is about the form factor of the device. I use a 7100v and 7100x and am anxiously awaiting the newest OS so I, too, can assign a ringtone to a particular contact.

Rubi,

To be honest, I have only owned 2 BlackBerries and my third should arrive any day now. I also used to share a RIM 950 two way pager when on call years ago.

As far as best service, I really think this depends on where you are situated geograpically. Some carriers offer better service in different areas. I live in a fairly large city and everyone’s service that I have used seems ok. I generally go with whatever carrier has the device that I want.

Ok..Just a quick question..but you appear to have at least had, or presently hold accounts with most, if not all of the US Cell companies. two quick questions:
1. How many blackberries do you own.
2. Who in your opinion is the best service provider for BB in the US?
