Review By Blackberrycool
It’s pretty easy to see how the 8700 has influenced the 7130g. There’s now a convenience key on the left hand side of the device and a “mute” button on the top. They’ve also made some fairly major adjustments to the keypad. The angled keys of the 7100 are gone and have been replaced with smaller, squarer keys. I’ve been using the 7100 for about a year now and the switch didn’t feel any better or worse, just different. However, I think it’s insane how small they’ve made the “space” button in relation to how it was on the 7100, but I can live with it. The jumbo-sized dedicated phone buttons and front convenience key are nice, though.
What’s really nice about the device is how quickly I was able to transfer over everything from my old 7100 onto my new 7130g. Just create a backup of your files using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, load them on the new BlackBerry, pop in your old SIM and you’re all set. Oh, make sure to change your PIN on your BIS account, however, otherwise you won’t get any emails.

The BlackBerry 7130g provides the perfect balance of performance, design and function for users who prefer traditional phone-style designs.
Building on the popularity of the BlackBerry 7100x™ from O2, the BlackBerry 7130g is a slim, lightweight handset that elegantly integrates some of the industry’s most advanced hardware and software in a stylish candy bar form factor, providing support for push-based email, phone, text messaging, web functionality, intranet access and organizer applications.

The RIM BlackBerry 7130 has a great design, plain and simple. Though the 7100 series has always had a compact form factor, the BlackBerry 7130 most closely resembles a candy bar phone in look and feel. It’s sleek (114.5 x 5g x 18.4mm) and incredibly light (120g), which makes it comfortable to hold up to your ear for conversations. As a bonus, the handset is attractive, with an appealing silver and midnight blue color scheme.
The 7130’s 2.25-inch (diagonal) screen dominates the face of device and displays 65,000 colors at 240×260 resolution. It’s not quite the 320×240 pixels of its full QWERTY cousin, the BlackBerry 8700c, but the 7130 still shows off sharp images and text. It’s also equipped with light-sensing technology that automatically adjusts the backlighting depending on your environment, and unlike that of many other phones, the display is readable in sunlight. Customization options are plentiful, including the ability to change the backlight time and the font family, style, and size, as well as to turn antialiasing on or off.
