Research In Motion (RIM) rolls out the new Blackberry 7250 on Sprint's network. With Bluetooth and a more compact design, this might be the Blackberry some have been waiting for.
Even companies who have purchased Blackberry from another carrier (GSM or CDMA) can use the 7250 from Sprint, WITHOUT having to purchase an additional server. The current server will handle both equally well.
How does this Blackberry compare to the one you are using? Will the push email of Sprint's new Blackberry be the push you need to get mobile email on your phone?
