When did you order it? Is it unlocked?

Ordered it yesterday. Got it today. I saw on RimRoad that they were on preorder until Nov 1, but they are apparently shipping out now. Cost is $299, no rebate like Cingular. Not sure if they are unlocked though -- I dont have another SIM.

Does it say Cincular or ATT on it. Was that for an existing account or a new one? thanks

You should return it and wait until 12/1 when the 7520 comes out. It will also have bluetooth, but also the speakerphone, etc.

Nextel has the best blackberrys out there by far. I've used every one of them with every carrier. Call quality, coverage, etc is much better, and the speakerphone kicks butt.

I got it for $99 through my Premeier, it is locked, with ATTWS logo.

Yes, my parent company got 50% off all handsets, including BB, PacketPC and such, and my company got additional disount on top of it.

We bought 5 7290 last week to do a beta testing with Exchange 2003, if that went well, we are looking at rolling out 2000+ 7290s, I will think that we can get it even cheaper than $100 a pop.

Of course, I got the 7290 for free from my sr. corp rep., plus some cash under the table...

Oh ya, I am going to fire the guy who won the V3 give away...
