BlackBerry 7130e

RIMarkable reader Ben emailed us this morning informing us that his Verizon rep said that the BlackBerry 7130e is being discontinued.

We knew that this would happen eventually, however, we thought that it would be some time from now. The BlackBerry 7130e has been a personal favorite of mine since it’s release 2 and a half years ago.

If this rumor turns out to be true, a lot of BlackBerry users will be sad to see it go. Verizon can make everyone feel better, however, if they quickly come out with the BlackBerry Curve.

I must say that my BlackBerry 7130e is probably the sweetest cell phone/ PDA that I have ever had. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that some of these Windows Mobile devices that are borderline “Tricorder from Star Trek”-like as far as the number of things it can do, however, for the things Read more...
