I think the Blackberry 7520 is a great phone for what you an pick one up at these days. People are selling them all over eBay for less than $40. It has the Push - to - talk features of all other Blackberry's, a full qwerty keyboard, email, etc, etc. Not all the bells and whistles of the 8350i but we sell them to construction workers all the time who are constanly breaking their phones and who want a blackerry.

Also, correct me if I am wrong but I do not think Nextel requires an upgraded Blackberry plan to use the phone.

I'm loving my 7520 BB for the simple fact that I was able to use it on the Boost Mobile Network and it is fully functional. Normally the text messaging, and the download for the net was not functioning properly once changed to Boost. Now with the new software up grade I can enjoy the Boost 50 dollar unlimited with a blackberry smartphone.

I love the buttons for texting and the way the function are with menus and so on. I bought the new i465 that just came out, but since i had this 7520 I got on ebay for 39 bucks i haven't went back to it yet.
