Suretype technology? Compact keypad that has 2 letters per button? I'm not settling for anything less than a full keypad. I don't use simple, "easy to guess" words when communicating, so it's a pain in the butt to use guesstimators or word shortcuts.
The 7290 looks like the existing 7280 but with a brighter 16-bit color screen and the extra features. It will come with BlackberryOS 4.0 .... The new BlackberryOS 4.0 has a lot of new nifty features including tables/JavaScript/etc support in its web browser, as well as easily being able to run 4 or 5 different brands of instant messengers, a built-in photo viewer, and more.
