Amazon.com Product Description
An upgrade to the popular BlackBerry 7100g, the BlackBerry 7130c adds a slew of enhancements that make this the best 7100-series handheld yet. The BlackBerry 7130c sports a stylish and sleek new design, as well as support for high-speed EDGE data, Bluetooth 2.0 (which supports faster device connect times and improved data rates), twice the memory capacity (64 MB), and a new and faster Intel XScale processor. Of course, the BlackBerry 7130c is still loaded with all of the cool features that made the BlackBerry 7100g a success, like a speakerphone, downloadable ringtones, quad-band GSM, and the unique SureType text keypad. The BlackBerry 7130c also allows you to surf the Web the way it was meant to be surfed with an ultra-large, high-resolution color screen.

<small><b>In addition to a stylish new design, the BlackBerry 7130c now supports EDGE high speed data. It also boasts improved processor performance and 64 MB of memory. View an interactive demo of the BlackBerry 7130c.</b> <small></td></tr></table> <B>Design</B>
Like the BlackBerry 7100g, the BlackBerry 7130c is far more phone-like, and RIM's engineers have managed to fit a QWERTY keyboard onto the handset's slim frame. Each button on the keyboard shares two letters and the unit automatically determines which letter is the intended one based on what it predicts you are trying to spell. This unique predictive text technology, known as SureType, enables the BlackBerry 7130c handset's diminutive size. SureType also learns the words you use most often, further enhancing your typing speed.
The BlackBerry 7130c sports a large 240 x 260 screen that displays over 65,000 colors -- plenty of real estate to view your emails, Web browser content, messaging sessions and attachments. The venerable BlackBerry trackwheel is located on the right side of the unit for quick scrolling through menus and emails. A speakerphone is housed in the top portion of the rear of the handset, just above the removable battery door. There's also a standard 2.5mm headset jack that can be used with the included headset.
<B>Calling Features</B>
All the calling capabilities folks have come to expect in a wireless phone are present in the BlackBerry 7130c. As mentioned, the handset's speakerphone makes it easy to use the device handsfree, or if you prefer, use a wireless headset via the BlackBerry 7130c's built-in Bluetooth capability. A vibrating alert, speed dial, and a contacts list/address book that is limited only by the unit's 64 MB of internal memory, are also included. Any of the phone's 32 included polyphonic ringtones can be used to create caller-specific ringers so you can know who's calling without having to look at the handset. More ringtones are available from Cingular's MEdia NET mobile web service.
<B>Messaging, Internet and Tools</B>
While the BlackBerry 7130c delivers the legendary BlackBerry email experience. With BlackBerry service plans from Cingular, you can receive emails instantaneously from up to 10 email accounts (personal and enterprise). With BlackBerry push technology, you don't need to retrieve your email. Instead, BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, allowing you to be discreetly notified as new email arrives. Support is also built-in for viewing email attachments (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, and PDF formats).
If your company has a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, you can take advantage of the power of wireless calendar synchronization. Your calendar events are exchanged wirelessly and automatically so that your desktop calendar and BlackBerry handheld calendar are synchronized. All your Outlook meeting requests, changes, and updates are instantaneously synchronized instantaneously with your desktop. Make meeting requests, invite new attendees and more, all on your BlackBerry 7130c. Users without BlackBerry Enterprise Server support can manually sync with their desktop calendars and contacts via Bluetooth or USB using the included BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Use the BlackBerry 7130c handset's Web browser to access the Internet at EDGE data speeds from the palm of your hand. Browse Web sites, get up-to-date stock quotes, read the latest news, check weather reports and more. Instant messaging and wireless messaging are also built into the BlackBerry 7130c. The handset supports AOL, Yahoo and ICQ instant messaging, as well as SMS text messaging. MMS messages can be received and forwarded, as well.
The BlackBerry 7130c ships with a number of tools, including a calculator with a unit converter and a to-do list. The handset supports Java application and game downloads (available via the MEdia Net service).
<B>Vital Statistics</B>
The BlackBerry 7130c weighs 4.23 ounces and measures 4.52 x 2.17 x 0.75 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3 hours of digital talk time, and up to 8 days of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Relax, if you need email + outlook + phone --- this is it........2007-01-19
I've struggled with getting one piece of electronics that can just do it, keep me in touch with the email, handle all my calendar, phone book, etc. etc. that the Palm used to do.... and be a good quality phone. I had the 7100 and it came close, but really problematic phone quality made it half an answer. Had the Q and returned it same day. Now, the 7130 just.... does it. Blissfull Blackberry push email, easiest in business. Keyboard is no hassle to write on, I regularly type away while my partner only answers the shortest emails on her treo650. So don't be scared by the Suretype stuff, I'd pick it any day to keep the small form factor. Oh, plus, my partner never carries that Treo in her pocket, just too big, while this one is just small enough to always have in the jeans, whatever. And finally, they fixed the phone quality, so I can chat away there too (unlike on the 7100 when no one would talk to me). It just... works. Compare away until you die, but this is the perfect hit for anyone who's work-oriented and more mobile than fixed.
Cingular Vs. Tmobile.......2006-12-04
As a former 4 year customer of Tmobile, I was very pleased with the deal I got on here with this PDA. With Tmobile, I have been using the same phone for the last year. I wanted to upgrade to a PDA. I was willing to extend my contract, and the best they could do is give me $50 off on the Tmobile Dash. With Cingular, I have found a better rate plan, and I got a brand new PDA for free. Being a faithful customer doesn't always guarantee customer appreciation!
Great device with a bug..........2006-11-03
The time when I got this phone I was really happy with it. The phone was all I wanted it to be... It works great, good batery life, great fitures...
But hey! wait before you buy this phone..
I used this phone for a couple of days it worked great and one day while going to work I decided to use the handsfree while talking to a friend of mine. The moment I get plug the headsets the call gets droped.
First I thought I pressed a key on mistake, I try it again.
I reliased, its not me its the phone..
I called Amazon and kept them informed about it and they were quick in replacing the phone. I got my new phone and it has tghe same problem, it does not work either.
Its basicaly a bug with 7130c, it does not work with a headset.
So I recomend people who use the handsfree on regular basis, to be careful, other than that its a cool device.

Great Phone.......2006-10-19
I've had the 7130c for almost a week now, hands down it is a great phone! Now this is not a predominately PDA that just happens to be a phone. This is a phone with a great organization and email package implemented in it. I mention that because this should not be compared to a Palm Treo or even the Cingulr 8125. This phone is what I would say the bridge between the regular cell phones and perhaps the more PDA-centric phones out on the market.
I never owned a PDA-phone or a BlackBerry. I've had a PDA in the past and most of my cell phones have been the flip-up variety, the last being a motorola V551. I can say that the 7130c has very strong characteristics of both.
As a phone, I haven't had too much troubles except sometimes people may not be able to hear me clear. This is because I'm use to having the flip phones where the mic is directly at your mouth. I'm a very soft talker, a mumbler if you will, so I need to learn to adjust my inflection so that it goes into the mic, which sits a few inches from mouth with the phone to my ear. I tested the speaker phone and it's greats.
The speaker is better than the V551 and is actually usable.
The USB desktop-to-phone connection works flawlessly and fast. I was even able to download an OS with yahoo messenger already installed (cingular does not allow yahoo messenger to be used on the phone, but there is a work around).
I have yahoo mail service on the phone so I get messages in real time. Tried Hotmail, which i use predominately, and found that it requires a subscription of 19.95 I believe, which is illogical.
The suretype is easy and intuitive, it's very good if you are typing a professional message not so good when you want to just cyber-chat with your friends and use "ebonics" or shorter derivatives of the English language.
The screen is very rich especially with different themes, the standard one makes the screen looks bland but it is much better than what the pictures show.
SMS/MMS is what it is and it is very good, I like seeing what was previously written when i reply to a text message...something that wasn't on my previous phone.
The web is good, I don't expect much from a phone so some pages are very hard to read but the regular sites you go to to check stocks, weather, sports scores etc etc work very well on the screen.
No problems with battery life so far, I do recommend draining the battery and re-charging 3 times to break the lithium-ion battery in. I also think you can charge the unit VIA usb connection. Not too sure but I did notice when I had the unit plugged in to my computer that the charge icon lit up.
I like the flashing LED at the top, might get on some peoples nerves as it constantly blinks but I find it gives the phone character.
Just got lotus organizer as well, which I do recommned as it is the best for personal (not business) use of the phone.
The phone comes with a case, usb cable, ear piece, and the desktop manager. I have not used the ear piece and probably will buy a bluetooth after I break the phone in some more. The case is okay, the only downfall is the belt clip is stiff. I almost broke a finger trying to put it on my belt.
I also recommend buying scratch proof film to put over the phone. You can buy them from shieldguard. Cingular does not offer insurance on this phone, so you want to keep it in the best of health. 1 Year manufacturer warranty though.
Excellent all around phone.......2006-10-17
For three months, i researched and researched and researched tons of phones looking for the perfect one. The one thing that i was looking for was a phone that had a loud volume and excellent call quality. I was so frustrated with other phones (razr, treo, nokia) that threw in a crappy camera and mp3 player at the expense of sound quality and volume, which is what a phone is supposed to be for in the first place. The 7130c has the best sound quality that i have ever heard, it has barely ever dropped a call and i can hear everything in crystal clear detail. The menus and interent browsing are extremely organised, fast, and uncluttered, another thing that frsutrated be immensly with other phones. The internet is very fast, the ringtones sound great, and basically the whole phone is flawless. The only minor things that can be frustrating is sometimes the phone feels somewhat cheaply made, creaks a little bit, but not too much, and only sometimes. Another thing is that you cant do to much with attachments in media sources, such as video. To get pictures on your device, you must email them in the correct pixel format which can be a pain. Also, the backlight has three stages or automatic which adjusts to the light, but it can only default to the 2nd stage and i wish it could go to 3rd because it looks better. you have to press the backlight button to go to third stage. Besides those minor flaws, this phone is the best phone you will ever purchase and i highly recommend it.
