I had my mind made up to get a Samsung i730 until I went to Verizon and looked at them. I never was interested in a Blackberry because of the size but then the salesman showed me a 7130e. I like the looks of it better than the Samsung. My only concern is I live on a fringe area and without the pullout antenna I am afraid I will get a lot of dropped calls like I did with my LG phone.
