I was originally using a Blackberry 7510 with Nextel Service, which was great, but Nextel service is limited out in remote parts of the country. So made the switch to Cingular and the 7100. The service is available about everywhere in the country. I drove from Florida to Colorado and never lost a signal. However, compared to the Wife's Motorola, the signal strength is not the best. The email system is good, the same as any other Blackberry. The battery life is excellent. -- Pat, MI

  This Phone is the best data phone Ive ever had!!! It does take some time to get use to, & wireless providers do need to add more support. I like because it is user friendly & its light weight. the draw backs are its hard to see the screen in the sunlight. the keys on the keypad are to close together. But you can't have everything. The 7100g is a great phone for the person on the go. And for people who don't need all the Blackberry bells & whistles.
