Even though Cingular has already brought us the
Blackberry 7130c, we've still been itching to get our hands on the other versions, including the slick new 7130v, ever since we caught the
FCC pictures of them a few weeks ago. Thankfully, it looks our wait might finally be coming to an end. The same forum that has been surprisingly accurate when it comes to
blowing up RIM's spot in the past is reporting that the "enterprise friendly" devices will be hitting the UK on T-Mobile and Vodaphone in July, with the T-Mobile US version hitting around the same time. We think waiting another month for our fix of EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0 and the ever-addictive
SureType is far too long. Our Treo, on the other hand, is keeping its fingers crossed for an indefinite delay.

We're a Vodafone dealer in the UK and we have had 7130v handsets available for a couple of weeks now, both enterprise and internet versions. http://www.grapevinetelecom.net

It doesn't look like the 7130v has anything the 7130c doesn't have (besides Vodafone brandings!). So no real reason to be excited for it to debut here. It will be handy for people wanting to stay on T-Mobile, but that's about it.

Why would the 7130v come to the US period? T-Mobile will get the 7130g, no?

Well, Jon, the first Jon, - It looks different.
In fact, I'm saying that it looks a LOT better than the 7130c =)
