Thanks subklue. Hope 11/14 pans out.... nothing firm yet from my VZW people.

I really hope it comes soon. I have a Samsung i600 on vzw (personal phone) (and a 7100t on company line). I went and spoke with a salesperson at a vzw store and he told me it was coming but did know details. I told him I would definitely take one when he got them in. He took my name a vzw cell # and told me he would call me when it came in. We'll see. He also told me they have some EV-DO footprint in NH right now and that by the end of the year it will be built out more, especially around Manchester, NH.

The RIM rep said it would release in about 30 days. The event was on the 19th of OCT. So the 11/14 date sounds about right. LETS HOPE. I took a quick pic of it next to the 7250, so u can kinda see the size. The light was kinda low, so the pic isnt great, but hey???

Yes this is good news, however I don't think VZW will release on a Saturday (11/12). Monday 11/14 sounds about right.

Does anyone know if it will it be a typical release for VZW - available via business channels for the first month and then through store distribution?

[SalvatoreLucian0]

i am not sure...i have one cousin who is in-store retail...and another who is a business account exec...

i will let you know if i hear anything further from them...

[SalvatoreLucian0]

currently they have not heard anything on it...

[stonent]

I wonder why RIM didn't call it a 7150?

[jnyost]

Please bring it on!!!

This was posted on Hofo.....

This is from the new VZW Email brochure that will be coming out. Notice it lists the 7130e as tethering capable. I believe you will be able to add the $59.99 Broadband plan with the device to be able to tether internet

[wangta01]

Wow, how much is service for this thing going to be?

Any idea on pricing (of the 7130?)

[SalvatoreLucian0]

I would think it would be consistent with the recent BB releases...around $299...but that is just my guess...

That'd be my guess too. They are now offering the 7250 with a $100 off for a price of 199 at some places. Think it'll be faded out???

[SalvatoreLucian0]

It has been a few days since anyone has posted anything on this phone (7130e)...if anyone learns anything new please add it to this thread...anyone have anything new on it?

Thanks!

[thechief16]

Does anyone know what day (if any) VZW usually releases new products?

[SalvatoreLucian0]

I have heard of Mondays and Wednesdays...then of course certain items are released over the internet and/or via corporate businesses first from time to time...
