Question Difference Between BlackBerry 7230 & 7290

Hello. First bost in Tech forum. Here goes!

My old Berry (7100t) is dead, so I'm going to buy a new one on eBay. T-Mobile user. Annoyed with the slowness of 7100t. So...

The 7230 seems to price with a "Buy It Now" price of $125, and the 7290 seems to be closer to $200-$225. I've done a device compare on blackberry.com, and I see three advantages of the -90 over the -30:
1. Black, not blue
2. Bluetooth
3. 850 band

Advantages of -30:
1. 0.1 oz lighter
2. 0.1" thinner
3. Extra day of standby battery power

Did I miss anything? I really like the black color vs. the silly blue.

Thank you, and sorry if this has been discussed. I did a search for "Blackberry 7290", and didn't get anything like this.
