The BlackBerry 7100t is the first of its kind-- a fully-featured mobile phone that delivers the power of BlackBerry e-mail. This is one sweet little phone, loaded with all of the cool features you want, like integrated Bluetooth connectivity, speakerphone, and downloadable ringtones. Plus, surf the Web the way it was meant to be surfed with an ultra-large, high-resolution color screen.
Design
Design-wise, the 7100t is a departure from the form factor of previous BlackBerry models. This BlackBerry 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 keypad 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 7100t's diminutive size. SureType also learns the words you use most often, further enhancing your typing speed.
The 7100t sports a large 240 x 260 pixels screen with 65,000 colors-- plenty of real estate to view your emails, web browser content, messaging sessions and attachments. The venerable BlackBerry jog dial 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.
Calling Features
All the calling capabilities folks have come to expect in a wireless phone are present in the 7100t. As mentioned, the unit's speakerphone makes it easy to use the device handsfree, or if you prefer, use a wireless headset via the 7100t's built-in Bluetooth capability. A vibrating alert, speed dial, and a contacts list/address book that is limited only by the unit's 32 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 T-Mobile's t-zones mobile web service.
Messaging, Internet and Tools
While the 7100t is a different kind of BlackBerry, it still delivers the legendary BlackBerry email experience. With T-Mobile's BlackBerry service plans, 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. 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 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 device 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 7100t. Users without Enterprise Server support can manually sync with their desktop calendars and contacts via Bluetooth or USB using the included BlackBerry Desktop software.
Use the 7100t's Web browser to access the Internet 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 7100t. The unit supports AOL, Yahoo and ICQ instant messaging, as well as SMS text messaging. MMS messages can be received and forwarded.
The 7100t ships with a number of tools, including a calculator with a unit converter and a to-do list. The unit supports Java application and game downloads (available via the t-zones service). One game, BrickBreaker, is included.
Vital Statistics
The RIM BlackBerry 7100t weighs 4.30 ounces and measures 4.70 x 2.30 x 0.70 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4.5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 240 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 800/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

1 The NEW next best thing!
Being a Palm junkie, I was entirely ready to junk my PDA, cell phone, and Blackberry for a Treo 600 (the 650 wasn't out at that point). However, after using a Blackberry and appreciating the functionality, I decided to look into the 7100t before I jumped on the Treo...I'm glad I did.
The form of the 7100t is tops in the BB line (I have a colleague who has the 7100g...not the same), and, at the same time, has the power to handle all the necessary tasks of a busy executive. Although the keyboard, with its "SureType" technology takes some practice (not much), it is a little bit of heaven once you get it down.
A little more about the form...this is the first BB that actually has the shape and feel of a cell phone. The original BB I owned was not conducive to phone use, even though it was offered. The 7100t is just about the same size as the Treo, making the basis for comparison very good...and compare I did. The 2.1-inch, 240-by-260 color display is probably the best I've seen in this size a device, and beats the lower res Treo like a whipping post. A friend of mine bought a Treo 650 recently (after seeing my 7100t) and came to me boasting about the "better keyboard." When we put them side-by-side, he was almost embarrassed at the screen quality of his Treo vs. my 7100t.
I use my 7100t extensively for organization purposes (PDA)...calendar, address book, and task list daily. The 7100t interface is extremely friendly and syncs perfectly with Outlook on my office PC. And, although the 7100t has IM and web browsing options as standard features, I don't make use of them due to the lack speed and screen size (although in a pinch, you can engage the browser and Google whatever you like).
A bit about the keyboard and Suretype...RIM's literature indicates that to make the device more "phone-like," they opted for the 20-key hybrid keypad in which the keys are relatively small, flat, and close together. Most keys have two letters and a number on them, but are arranged in the familiar QWERTY format. I've got fairly large hands, and don't have much trouble with the keys. RIM's proprietary SureType is leaps and bounds ahead of most predictive text systems previously offered. Its database has incredible breadth and is actually quite adept at discerning the word one is typing. Honestly, it takes less than an hour to get used to the predictive nature of the typing interaction, and then you're off and running.
As to cell service and functionality, perhaps I'm the lucky one here. I have had none of the difficulties expressed by other reviewers relative to dropped calls or static reception. Frankly, the quality of this cell is better than the last two cell phones I've owned (Samsung and Moto).
Although I wasn't overly excited about having to switch to T-Mobile to get this phone, the service has been excellent (so far) and their plans accommodating. Beyond that, this device has been absolutely wonderful and it is a constant companion.
Highly recommended.
2 This is a beauty
Okay I have read the reviews here and am shocked by some. I have had this phone for a couple of months now and I havent had any of the problems that some people are reporting. The phone wokrs like a charm...the pda part works great....sending text and emails is a breeze once you get used to it and yes it is possible to type fast with the keyboard and I have big fingers I never miss a key...so dont be hesitant, if your looking for a good joining of a cellphone and a pda this is it.
3 Unstable phone.... Drops calls and reboots
This is a good phone as far as features it provides as a PDA. BUT this has a biggest problem. It does not work well as a phone. It reboots itself while taking. Just like old Windows 98 machine 'blue screen' problem. Its really annoying when you are on a conference call or interview call and it takes another 5-10 mins to join back.
T-mobile customer care is now going to replace this phone with another refurbished phone.
Do not buy!!
4 Battery life sucks!
The battery life is horrible on this phone. You must charge it EVERYDAY. If you do not, you will find yourself not being able to use the phone the next day. The lcd screen takes up alot of battery life. The keyboard sucks. There are two letters assigned to most keys. It makes dialing 1 800 numbers impossible. Say you want to dial 1 800 teddy bear or something. The keys do not match normal phones with the letters on them.
I have found myself numerous times having to go to a payphone just to look at the keys with the letters on the them...lol The resolution is great. The casual web browsing is nice. What I like, it fetches all of my emails and brings them to the phone. I havent had to check our emails from our websites on the computer for two months now. This is the real reason I got it. It's a nice phone however. It's like having a mini personal assistant.
5 poor phone/ marginal PDA
phone reception is very marginal. Lots of dropped calls. Lots of complaints from people calling me. The phone is definitely weaker than standard T-mobile phones. I can be standing next to someone with a T-mobile phone and they have 4 bars and can place calls. At the same time and place, my 7100t gets one bar and cannot call or receive calls. This is the 4th 7100t that they have sent me and all have the same or worse problems. I have this problem in an area that T-mobile says is a great reception area, and have similar problems in the middle of big airports and cities.
PDA limited but works. Only complaint is that several times each week the PDA does a hard reset in the middle of a call, which takes about 6 minutes to complete before I can use the phone again.
6 Underwhelming
The 7100 is a compromise between a phone and a PDA, and it shows. Most other comments have highlighted the good points, so I'll focus on the gripes:
1. Send and end keys are waaay too small. Other keys are packed too closely together. Easy to punch the wrong key.
2. Very thin (like 1 pixel thin) browser fonts. No option to make them thicker.
3. Over-reliance on the trackwheel. Some 1 button shortcuts to the calendar/email/tasks/notes would be really really nice. this phone is *not* designed to be operated by one hand.
4. Fonts are sometimes bigger than the popup windows. Incoming calls get part of the number cut off. If you call out using the address book, multiple entries sometimes have their tags (work, mobile, etc) cut off. Maybe this is only with the T-Mobile theme.
5. Poor sync options if you don't have the Blackberry enterprise server software. There's basically no way to sync the calendar/task/phonebook wirelessly without BES.
6. The 4.0 desktop software doesn't play nice with a non-standard Outlook profile and multiple personal folders. Sometimes, the option to pick another folder disappears.
7. Can't use Bluetooth to interface with laptop. 'nuff said.
8. Short battery life. About 24 hours. Maybe I'm running too many apps in the background.
9. Supplied holster could be better. Clip doesn't swivel. Holster doesn't grip the phone as tight as before. This is after 7 days.
7 Great Phone/ T-Mobile lacking though
I bought this phone thinking I was gonna be able to open
images on email but T-Mobile has it disabled in their system.
I am gonna take my phone back since I am unable to do what
I thought I could do. Even the users manual says you can
open images.. Very mis-leading T-Mobile
8 Happy but not thrilled.
After a month of hard use, I'm not sure that this product has evolved from the BlackBerry 7230. What's better (all comparisons refer to the 7230):
1. the presence of a speakerphone;
2. the screen is much more vibrant (but scratches VERY easily);
3. smaller size and better shape; and
4. Bluetooth.
However, do not underestimate the absence of a full keyboard. You will acclimate fairly quickly, but typing is simply not as fast, especially at first. The software is quite intuitive but it has never gotten the word "but" right; instead, it invariably chooses "bit" (same with "duck" and its more colorful, rhyming counterpart).
On BlackBerries in general, I miss being able to give distinctive ring tones to callers and the absence of a true cursor is frustrating (when writing an e-mail, you can only go up and down through the document, not left to right, without deleting, such that there is no way to insert a word or sentence without a lot of extra keystrokes). The ringer volume at its loudest is very faint; forget about hearing it in another room. Neither does there seem to be a way to turn off automatic e-mail forwarding without disabling the entire account, then having to set it up again later. I find it hard to believe that that's true, but after consulting with T-Mobile's customer service and the instruction manual, it is still an unresolved issue. The battery life is unimpressive but this isn't a huge issue for me (though it IS annoying that it takes forEVER to charge from 95% to 100%. We're talking hours). Like other reviewers, I've had problems with AOLIM not working, and am annoyed that I cannot view e-mail attachments. And what's the deal with making this only for PCs, not Macs?
The call clarity is great and e-mail forwarding is instant. I found this to be true in Mexico, Europe, and Asia, too. Surfing the Web is slow and should only be done if there is absolutely no alternative, although the full-color graphics are impressive. I am sold on this phone and won't got back to the 7230, but I won't miss it when the next BlackBerry generation is released.
9 Almost perfect!
I have had at least a dozen cell phones. I travel a lot and a cell phone with wireless corporate email is a must for me. The email functionality of the BB 7100t is 4 out of 5. Typing could be challenging if you have big fingers. The keys are really close to each other. Not a biggie for me, but difficult from time to time. The screen colors are very good, although I don't recommend looking at it when you are outside while there is sun light during the day. You will not see anything. The wireless calendar sync with the enterprise option is from heaven. You can accept, reject, create, and send invitations right from your phone while the unit automatically syncs them with the Outlook calendar immediately. The size is very good. However, if you want to carry the unit in your pocket, you will definitely know that is there. Not like other small flip phones I had in the past. About the cons: T-Mobile coverage is NOT what I would say "the best". Do not try to use the phone in SC or Alabama. Who goes there anyway!!! Or out in the country... Perfect excuse if you are going away from work!!! You will not receive the annoying calls from the office. Not bad! The battery life could be better. If you talk on the phone and use the email function often during the day, you better be prepared to recharge it at night. Overall, great phone and wireless email unit.

10 Better than Treo 600 and LESS expensive
This is a great PDA/phone device. I had a Treo 600 that was replaced three times due to failure of the earpiece and other hardware problems. The speakerphone is better than the Treo 600. Bluetooth is great. Look for a hack on the Web to use the USB cord to connect this as a wireless modem to your laptop as Bluetooth is locked to the headset use only. BLUETOOTH is too cool.
I have a Samsung i500 which is great but locked to Sprint's CDMA service. The i500 is more reliable than the Treo 600 and more versatile than the Blackberry as it has Palm apps which can be purchased or are free. However, the easier predictive text entry fo the Blackberry 7100t makes it easy to type and send email. The integration with SMS is something the Blackberry has without an additional program for the Treo 600 or Samsung i500, as well as IM for Yahoo and AIM AOL.
Will keep the Samsung i500 for its strengths and Blackberry for its strengths and quadband coverage. Samsung i500 has analog service which is much needed for rural US travel.
So, get a Blackberry 7100t and if you need analog, a used Samsung i500 on ebay.
I wish that TMobile had the Treo 650 but its incompatabity with Treo 600 programs, as well as an unlocked Treo for international travel.
11 Best cell phone I have ever used!
I have had the Blackberry 7100T since early January. It is without a doubt the best cell phone I have every utilized, bar-none.
It is easy to use, has great audio clarity. I was hesitant to try it, with the new keyboard and the smart type software, but really, it is an amazing tool!
I highly recommend it.
12 Stay in the loop -- Always
I do a fair bit of traveling for business, can receive requests from clients at all hours, and like to have a lot of information at my fingertips. The 7100T really supplements my lifestyle.
It has proven to be easy to set up and use. Typing on the modified qwerty keyboard is a bit frustrating at first, but become very intuitive after a short time.
There are really two was to go if you want a phone/email device/scheduler -- either Blackberry or the Treos. I can't comment much on the Treos other than to say I have colleagues that use and like them. The 7100t is much cheaper, a bit smaller, and does just about everything I could ask for.
13 Great color screen
Just received this unit.
Thus far, very happy with the phone and the ability to surf the web.
The only down side that I have discovered is the keyboard does not have the 'ABC' on the keypad the way a desk phone is equipped.
Thus, it is hard to 'spell' out a persons name when using a voice mail system.
14 All in one!!
A great tool and reasonably priced for all it does, it also gives you all the necessary features you need in keeping organized. Very user friendly, however, if you must have a camera, it does not have one. Highly recommend it.
15 This is a cool phone, but def. test one before buying
Yea, there was SUCH a HYPE when this phone came out, so i decided to purchase it. Yeah, it looks sleek and all, but I didn't find it to be too useful - because the interface is not very user-friendly. Plus, there were many bugs in it. many problems with AIM and e-mail and that.
The contacts totally SCREWED up the address on my computer, so I decided to part ways with this phone, and I got the TREO 650 pda phone - that is the BEST thing out there - check it out!
16 A+ Review !
I picked up my blackberry a week after they came out. I LOVE it!!! I have had a few glitches (where AIM would not work) however, after an explanation and 50 free minutes, I didn't bat an eye at it. (They were still working on the programming b/c it was so new).
I can view attachments, I can link up all my emails (Except for my hotmail one for some reason).
I use a lot of the features on the phone including the calendar, tasks, alarm clock, web...there's so much you CAN do on this phone I'm wondering what you CAN'T do!!!
While attending a business meeting away in Florida (I am in MA) -- I found it great to communicate with my clients from so far away. Almost ALL the people at the conference had some form of a Blackberry and none had the slim design of the T-Mobile.
The larger blackberry's are a bit odd to handle. T-Mobile has the two letter keypad which recognizes the words you want to type. I have written long emails without missing a beat!
I also love the speakerphone feature -- check out the tips online for helpful ones like hitting the period button to interchange from speakerphone to handset during a call.
I keep finding new tricks with my phone! Last night while on a call with my mother, my sister called, I clicked one button and hit "join" and all three of us were talking!
While I had them on speakerphone, I played around by clicking the turnwheel and clicking on notes...the option to type notes while on a conference call is great!!! Especially if you need to take down directions, etc.!
I'm one very happy high tech girl over here!!!
T-Mobile has been great to me for the past 2+ years...I'll stick with them!!!
:) Enjoy!!
17 LOVE IT.
Finally a PDA the size of a normal cell phone! Email. Phone. Internet access. Browser. Nice.
18 Cannot view image attachments
Cannot view image attachments. They use tricky marketing by saying it support attachments. Even their user guides say it. But what they don't say is that T-Mobile has disabled the viewing of image attachments. Shame on T-Mobile!
19 3 1/2 Stars...Great Phone....Not-So-Great Service
I purchased this phone last Saturday and used it pretty much all day before I returned it on Saturday night. The features of this phone were mis-represented to me by the provider. I did enjoy all the extras that this phone had to provide with the Blackberry OS and software that was installed on it, but I could not keep it due to T-Mobile.
First, let me say that I have had T-mobile service for 3 years, and I love it. They have one of the best coverage areas and their prices out-do most of the competition. I have had cell phones for 12 years and T-mobile is by far the best.
This was the first real problem I have had with them. I have paid for T-zones, their term for "internet email access and limited web sites" for over 1 year. The main feature I was interested in with the Blackberry was a fully integrated Yahoo, AIM and MSN Instant Messaging service. What the sales person (in 2 different stores, I might add) didn't tell me was that with ALL Blackberry phones, you must subscribe to the Blackberry Internet Service Package to get any kind of online service with the phone. T-Zones will not work with these phones. And the Blackberry Internet Package is a whopping $19.95/month on top of my rate plan. No thanks.
This really disappointed me. I have been wanting a Blackberry for a while now, and I really like the QWERTY keyboard on a cell-phone for use with Instant Messaging. I care nothing about a full web-browser, especially with the speed (or lack of speed, I should say) that comes with this Internet Package. And $20 a month? I don't think so. I have a $99 rate plan as it stands now....I don't need to tack another $20 on their to just use Instant Messaging with a QWERTY keyboard, especially since I can use it with a regular phone for the $2.99/month T-Zone package.
So if you want to use the full featured benefits of this phone with T-Mobile, expect to pay $20/month on top of your cell phone plan. And don't expect the salesperson in the T-mobile store to inform you of this. Two of my local stores failed misserably.
20 best of blackberry phones - lukewarm for everyone else
pros:
- nice screen in dim light
- best sound quality i've found in a mobile ever
- best speakerphone quality ever
- built in web browser displays nearly all web pages
- instant messenger is quite fun
- blackberry integration is perfect
cons:
- can't see the screen at all in sunlight
- can't answer in speakerphone mode (maybe mine was defective)
- can only log in to one IM service at a time (yahoo msn OR aol)
- interface is not suited for quick, convenient, or one-handed use*
* - let me expand a bit on the blackberry interface. it is great for blackberry email devices where you pick from one or two menu selections and use those constantly and only occassionally try other items. on this mobile phone / blackberry email device i was really hoping to see a better integration between the telephone functionality and the BB functionality. i have a samsung vga1000 mobile now and its got one push buttons to access the most common things. a button for web access, one for taking photos, one for the address book, one for the menu, etc. everything i want to do quickly is right there at one touch. to do anything on the blackberry requires clicking and scrolling through the scroll wheel, which is really tough to use because its so sensitive. very easy to miss the item you're looking for. this thing has a huge keyboard and all kinds of buttons everywhere but it doesn't take advantage of any of them! to do anything and everything you have to use the stupid scroll wheel, click, pick an item from the menu, click, pick something else, use the keyboard to type in something, back to the scroll wheel, click, scroll to "save", click, press escape a few times and finally you're done. for everyday tasks this is a total pain! they could have done an amazing job with that huge keyboard and they blew it. they oughta either get rid of all those keys or assign them a whole lot more functionality. as it is, i do not recommend this phone for anyone except people who require blackberry functionality.
21 Excellent, but not for everyone
This isn't a phone for everyone. In fact, it's probably not great for a lot of people. However, if you have the BlackBerry Enterprise Server with your corporate Exchange account, and e-mail is your main line of communication, this thing will change your life.
Everything that is good about the BlackBerry devices in general is their ability to integrate with the server-side mail, calendar, and address book, as far as I am concerned.
With respect to the 7100t, it's best qualities are basically making it a better phone than the previous line of BlackBerries. The only compromise in doing so was the new keyboard, but if you're okay with it (I'm about as good on it as I am on the regular BB keyboards, i.e., not very) then it's not really much of a problem. The improvements are: size/form; ringers/ringer volume; speaker and microphone sound quality; buttons/shortcuts for locking keyboard/making calls/hanging up/switching to "vibrate" mode.
Nice things that BB integration adds to the phone (besides the obvious things like e-mail, easier SMS, etc) are tight integration with your server-side address book, appointments calendar, etc. This is really only good if you use Outlook to manage these thing primarily, and use the BB when you're not at your computer.
If you want more advanced phone features (custom rings/pictures for incoming callers) then you might be disappointed. It's a good phone, but nothing spectacular.
If you don't have a BES account (or otherwise tightly link your e-mail, calendar, and contacts in to the device) you'll also be unimpressed.
22 Great Unit - Feature Packed - Highly Recommended
I have had the phone for about 2 weeks now, and absolutely love it.
I have had virtually every phone out there, and until recently I carried an LG VX6000 and a Blackberry 957 for email with the full keyboard.
Initially typing on the 7100 is a bit confusing, but once you re-adjust to the keypad lay out the device takes over and rarely needs correction due to the expanse of the 35,000 word dictionary.
The keys are well laid out, the screen is bright, sharp and clear, even if it does kinda blow a bit in direct sunlight - but all color phones do. The device is small yet feels solid, unlike most phones out there.
The Browser and Instant Messenger clients are great with always on connection. Particularly impressed with the browser and the display of Internet sites.
Sound quality is good, call tracking is fantastic, and the phonebook rocks hard.
Great phone - you really can't go wrong. Oh yeah - the ability to open and view attachments in your email (which, I know other larger Crackberrys out there already have) really makes life easier on the road.
23 Critical functions missing
Everything else that's written as a review here is true, so I'll stick with the complaints.
1. No voice functionality. If they put Bluetooth on the phone, I'd like voice dialing. Not there.
2. No Voice memo. Yep, e-mail, games, and IM, but no Voice memo.
3. T-Mobile has eliminated the attachment of Images to e-mails!
You can open word docs, excel spreadsheets and PDF's and the manual says image files as well, but T-mobile does not support this feature. (please call to complain, this is a critical omission that should, and can be fixed)
4. No Camera. OK, this is the reason I got the phone. There are a lot of places you cannot take camera phones. My phone cannot have a camera. This one works for me.
Other than that it's a great phone and worth the $$$, talks well with MS Outlook, browser works well and IM is good. Odd keybord takes a bit but works great after 30 minutes of "typing"
only 3 stars until T-Mobile allows image attachments.
24 Fantastic All-in-One Device...with one caveat.
I've been looking for that one component that could take over for my utility belt of gadgets...blackberry, pager, cell. While I could have gone with one of the newer blueberries, I decided to wait because form factor is a big thing with me. Plus, my experience with the blueberry-type RIM devices has not been anything spectacular. Sure, they get mail great...but the color screens left a lot to be desired, and the phone wasn't anything to write home about.
About 6 months ago, I purchased a Nokia 6820, as it had a very small form factor, full keyboard, and the promise that Blackberry would be available. Well, in my area, the 6820 was great in certain areas but was a lousy phone at my house. The full feature set Bluetooth was nothing short of amazing...once you got it to work. So, 6 months later, I still carry a pager, a blackberry, and a cell phone.
I saw some reviews of this phone previously, but waited until a colleague of mine picked one up locally. I needed to feel the real phone and play with it a little, as the mock up at the store wouldn't have done anything for me.
Well, I ran out and picked one up...and what a fantastic device this is. The screen is absolutely beautiful with some minor washout in direct sun. Good radio signal all around, great speakerphone, and fantastic e-mail support (duh). The actual phone is much better than previous blackberries with clear reception.
Form factor is great and fits in the palm of my hand well. While not a small phone like the 6820, it is much better than previous models. Sturdily built, it seems like it could take a good amount of abuse.
The new keypad, albeit initially confusing, is fantastic. I was skeptical of the SureType capabilities, but after 10 minutes, it's about 99% accurate with what I'm typing. Overall, I'm very pleased.
My one caveat which makes this 4 stars rather than 5 would be Bluetooth support. It isn't full featured (such as syncing through Bluetooth, file sharing, etc), as the only feature it utilizes is a Bluetooth headset. Not a major negative, but something that does knock it down from perfection.
Accessories...comes with what it needs...two USB cables, one travel charger, case, software, handsfree earbud. Wish it came with a cradle like the older models, but it really doesn't need it.
Overall, great device. Just one feature short of amazing.
