What's the difference between Blackberry 7230 and 7280?

Question

I'm choosing which one to buy, the 7230's more expensive on Ebay but I can't seem to find any difference in any of the specifications of both models I've found on the net. Help?

Answer 1

The 7280 operates on the 850/1800/1900 GSM bands.

The 7230 operates on the 900/1800/1900 GSM bands.

This is a tri-band phone. Just make sure the provider that you are using the phone on is operating on at least ONE of these bands.

850 band is USA, 900 band is Europe/Asia. But since it's tri-band, the 850 phone should work in USA because it can operate on 1900 band.
