Blackberry 7520 or 7510 (Nextel)

Looking at picking one up, but not sure which one. 7510 I can get cheaper, but I think 7520 has more options.. Any one have any experience with these that can give me an opinion?

We have quite a few 7520s at work here. I had one, but got tired of it so I gave it to someone else. They work well. I'd be glad to answer any questions about it.

Thanks! I don't care about all of the email features, I want it for the Organizer and such. Is that aspect fairly user friendly? Will I have to upgrade my account if I am not going to use the internet or email features? Thanks again!

Yeah, the contact lists, task list, and calendar are very easy to use. If you're syncing to Microsoft Outlook, it's even easier. The Blackberry comes with a desktop manager software program that allows for very easy syncronization of that stuff. Pretty much like an Ipaq in that regard. The new software allows for email attachments to be opened, which is pretty cool. To be able to do internet or email wirelessly, you need to set up a data account with a provider like Sprint, Verizon, etc. It usually runs in the neighborhood of $50 per month.
