BlackBerry 7290

The 7290 is a BlackBerry that still looks like work. Trackwheel, mail, a holster. Not cute. That was the appeal.

BlackBerry 7290, 2004

Launch year

2004. 2004 is the RAZR. Thin metal. A clamshell as fashion. 3G starts to mean something if you had a 6630. Most lines still ran on 2G pride.

BlackBerry

BlackBerry is a belt clip and a keyboard before glass. 7290, 8700, Pearl. Mail arrived with a blink. It was work, then it was identity.

This map only keeps phones from 1994 through June 2007, before the original iPhone went on sale in the United States.
