InformationWeek recently ran a review of the BlackBerry 7100t. Mostly upbeat, it gave the BlackBerry good marks for it's GSM coverage, small form factor, and easy access to data and e-mail (naturally) and lower marks for the handcuffed Bluetooth implementation and hip holster (which IMHO has to be the most important factor in your smart phone buying decision... err maybe not). The review did have an excellent summary of the options facing a user who is considering the 7100t versus a more traditional BlackBerry:
In the end, the 7100t gives BlackBerry users an intriguing choice. If you are interested in mainly e-mail with phone capabilities, you should look at one of the traditional BlackBerry devices. But if you are looking for a phone with e-mail capabilities, consider the 7100t.
