I haven't updated the device to the 4.2 firmware that I keep reading about, but am looking very much forward to doing so when I get back home! Otherwise, typing on the 8700 is a HUGE improvement from using any Treo of the past. Not only that, but it's extremely quick (was afraid that it wouldn't be because it runs mostly on a special version of Java) and is actually quite a pleasure to use.
Definitely welcoming the difference. It's just very sad how the innovative ideas at Palm have dropped off since I started using them back before the 2K's with the Palm IIIe...

I think that you'll find the biggest difference between the BB8700 and the Treo is the ease of use of the thumbwheel on the side compared to having to pull out the stylus on the Treo for most operations. My wife is stuck with a Treo (she was dismissive of BBs in general), and now has a pretty clunky, battery-consuming, Bluetooth-inept device, while I glide through life with my BB8700c.
