That being said, I haven't used a 72xx series model, and was wondering if anyone has used both both lines in the recent enough past to make a comment about the screen. From the pictures, it looks like a "widescreen format" BlackBerry (because of the extra icon width on the home screen) It would be an expensive experiment to just buy it and try it, and I'm unsure if there will be any real difference in with regards to email & browsing. The widescreen will have more info on less lines, but unless the total surface area of the screen is smaller, it should net out to the same per "display page"
If I remember correctly, when I bought the 7780, it was only slightly taller than the 7280, so I don't think it will be a size thing.
Also, I'm not that worried about the screen and backlight because like anything else, each subsequent model has improvements, so I would expect the screen of the 7290 to be better than the 7780 (just as it was with the 7280!), and if there is ever a 7790, it should improve on the current crop of displays...
Thanks in advance.

I have the 6230, borrowed the 7100T for an extensive period of time, and borrowed 7730 as well (which was my favorite of the 3 even with it's poor screen resolution). I hope tmo does come out with the "7790" (assuming the nominclature remains the same...) as I know of a lot of visually impaired people who would be very happy (why phone manufacturers can't get a clue for larger fonts that are adjustable for all phones is beyond my comprehesion).
