I went 8100 (2+ years) to 8900. I'll be honest: I loved suretype and I could type faster on it than my 8900 and make fewer mistakes mainly because the keys are bigger. But it's not a dealbreaker and the 8900 screen rocks. It makes using the browser actually useful, I thought the Pearl screen was almost worthless for web browsing so I mostly used it for txt and phone. This camera rocks too (8100 camera was weak, worse than a Razr). I never had memory problems but I have 115k most of the time now. It's a better unit. But I bet you type slower on the 8900.
