The BlackBerry 7130e: Sprint gets shown up again

by Chris Ziegler, posted May 31st 2006 at 5:54AM

What does a national carrier have to do to get some exclusive-availability love these days? Just days after losing the 700p race, Sprint sheepishly shows up with the BlackBerry 7130e, which has been floating around on Verizon since before Engadget Mobile existed. You're looking a little red from getting smacked around by your CDMA rival, guys, and it's not going to be the last time. Of course, when it comes to push email at glorious EV-DO speeds, we always say better late than never.

[Thanks, Nan]
