And wow its excellent. The screen is excellent, its the best screen in sunlight. The voice quality is outstanding. Battery life is also very nice. The build quality is super, rock solid. The functions are so many, you can edit, customize almost anything. Keypad is for text lovers. I love this phone, but still I hate Blackberry brand. Pease dont compare this phone with N97 or Iphone.

  • Either you or another user has bent the unit or something similar. Cheap to replace. Check 1st to see if you get any error messages. If so.....

  • ­ Set your computer's browser to this link. This is a GREAT little tank of a phone. Just DON'T do like me and put it in your back pocket and SIT on it for 2 hours. It survived MY dropping, kicking, and being knocked about. But after all of that PLUS being sat on, on a construction site..... When I saw what I had done I LITERALLY sat with tears... ALL my data ( backed up), but this was my 1st BB. STILL can't bear to throw it away, although it can't be fixed. ( I know, silly, right ). This is a capable little box. Enjoy....

  • ***king Mobile.. the crappiest of all...

  • This was my 1st BB. I have had mobile phones 17 years now. I say that because even though this one doesn't have a camera. No 3g. No wifi. BUT! What it does though, it does quite well! I LOVE this thing. It's non-pretentious. It for me, set the bar as far as what a serious mobile communicator and pda is concerned. It BLOWS away the competition with serious note taking skills. Clear sound. Built like a TANK! I know it is yester-years class, but when I fell on it earlier this year I was furious with myself for breaking it. I regularly back up my data, so the pain was at destroying a perfectly good phone. This unit if you can find one at great prices ( you can) is the perfect little second phone for business. Or a 1st if you need a first experience and you are serious about keeping up with your life. Oh and don't forget about the Blackberry network. Cheap entry! I'm out!

  • how to use this mobile becouse i have this mobile.when i charge this mobile,it show only a circle symble.and usingsim gsm

  • what model of batteries this model using?

  • Interesting little story behind this one. When Microsoft was reviewing this phone for a big contract to set up blackberrys, and they were questioning EVERYTHING. When they finally got to the topic on how it would react to being dropped, he picked it up and said "I'll show you." He then picked it up and threw it at the wall behind the Microsoft Executives doing the deal, to the shock of them all. He then pick it up, turned it back on and made a call to one of the guys in the room. The still have Microsoft's contract all the way up to today in 2010.

  • does this phone have a slot for sim card ?

  • I just cannot seem to find a site that has manuals or user guides for blackberry. Can somebody help me please.

  • I think this phone is a really good phone. It fits perfectly in my hand and I can text with only one hand. I bought mine off ebay for really cheap, and I really got a good deal. I think this phone is a good one if you're looking for a phone that will last a long time. I love the design, and the keyboard. It can definitely be confusing to some people, but you'll eventually get the hang of it. The only problem/question I have is if I can put pictures on it for my background? I'm still not sure if I can. Overall really great phone, it is a few years old so it's not 100% up-to-date but worth buying off ebay for cheap!

  • does anyone know if you can use my favas with the t-moble on the 7290

  • This is a really good phone. If you can be bothered to carry 2 phones it's brilliant as it does what it does better than an ordinary phone by miles but as previously mentioned, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles you would find on a conventional modern phone. Worth a buy if you find a bargain on ebay. Even works with Google Mail!

  • Have used a 7290 for email only for the past 3 years and I can definitely recommend it... except it's not made anymore.

  • A good phone for the price. Exellent email and contacts management. Bluetooth of this phone is just for connecting with headset, it cannot pair with another device. No mp3 and expansion slot but 32MB is enough for a business phone like this.

  • I wanted a phone and ended up buying this unit on ebay for $80.00 including shipping. It worked fine for 2+ months. Now the phone part is completely dead. Says 'No Service' all the time. I chose this unit because of the 'qwerty' keyboard. I won't spend my money on this again.

  • Hi there i have a question if i may. will i be able to download windows midea player to my Blackberry 7290?

Please tell me wut to do .. .. please .. .. !!

  • simply superb&excellent sound quality.but i didnt unde rstand what is SRAM

  • Pros: Feels very sturdy when holding it my hand. Very BASIC and SIMPLE. The 7290 doesn�t have the cheap plastic feel that the 8700r or the 7130g have or the bells and whistles that the newer devices have-a real major turn off for me as a customer. The phone isn�t bad and the email is typical BlackBerry. Reception. I live in a dead-zone of coverage and this device holds a signal whereas the previous phones and devices I�ve own would loose signal strength. Cons: The BlackBerry tended to reboot itself twice since it replaced a defective 7290 that my provider sent me that rebooted consistently. It was a glitch in the software. Since then I haven�t had any issues with the replacement 7290. The web is slow as it�s typical GPRS. I prefer it that way than the EDGE on the 7130g that constantly went to GPRS from EDGE. EDGE is nice but it�s too overrated. It�s too bad that RIM is discontinuing in making the 7200 series, as they are more reliable and sturdy than the newer ones that are coming out on the market.

  • phone worked fine for 1.5 years, now seems completely dead. spent $300.00 think I may have been better to put my money elsewhere.

  • tsss memory space of course ! 32mb for 7290 16mb for the othr one yoooo

  • What is the difference between bb 7210 7230 and this fone?!!?!?!?!?!

  • very bad set i will not even want to see it

  • I recently switched from a Sony Ericsson W550i to a blackberry 7290. Once the setup was completed i started to notice the difference. Great phone, clear sound, great emailfunctions. i'm sticking with blackberry from now on...

  • my blackberry 7290 cannot received incoming call, please help.

  • This phone is horribly unreliable - I am on my 3rd warranty exchange. Functionally very good, practically terrible.

  • As a phone - diabolical. All the business users I know use a regular cellphone for voice calls. As a handheld for e-mail-unbeatable. Great build, easy to use, hell to set up without an IT department and/or a load of spare time.

  • The fone is rubbish. The internal antenna craps out at least once every few minutes causing "decryption errors" and losing BES connectivity altogether. It's a fairly rudementary IMAP device beyond that. Bluetooth is kludgy and poorly implemented. Voice quality is very much 1994. I'm thankful work paid for it as i plan on lighting it on fire as soon as i replace it with a real device- win mobile.

  • I bought the phone last week. Great for SMS and organzing my upcoming appointments. Got one complaint though - ringtone volume not that loud.

  • Great phone ! Calling, sending e-mails and sending sms. No stupid camera's or mp-3 player functions on it. Blackberry is no toy phone like all the other brands, with blackberry its important to communicate and that is wath the blackberry is for. If you want media-functions like mp3 player, video and other stuff then buy a pocket pc. Bluetooth is only voice with blackberry, its not possible to transfer data. Greetz

  • how does one connect blackberry 7290 bluetooth with hp ipaq wireless pda please, please

  • This is probably the worst thing that I have ever Spent money on! To start off the Cingular wireless salesman sold me a raspberry or a blueberry or was it a blackberry either way he sold me the package unfortunatly half of the claims were not true!!!!!! After spending over 30 hours on customer service during the first 4 weeks we determined that the phone was not capable of doing what the salesman claimed. too bad the exchange period had expired before they were able to determine this. Needless to say I have had so many problems that I want to scream everyday. There has not been one single day that I have been glad that I wasted my money on the phone. I just spent 90 minutes with Cingular Wireless customer service arranging for a warranty exchange but since the Aluminum face is held on with glue and has delaminated they want to charge me nor a new phone. They claim it is damage, it is probably impossible that they have a poor glue job. Of course I could send the phone to blackberry first and for $180.00 they will install a new peice of aluminum trim, then I could send it in for a warranty exchange. I think I would rather pay $150.00 to cancell my service and burn the rest. I would get more for my buck. BUYER BEWARE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

  • Good phone great for emails
