I loved my 8700c.. oh the days of a device that just did what I needed it for.

No camera needed.
No music player needed.
No trackball. (Damn I miss the scroll wheel)

It just needs push email, the ability to ring/vibrate, and SMS. That is it. Ok 3G is nice when it isn't sucking up all the battery life, but not 100% needed.

What I would give to get a new line of BB's with the scroll wheel, no camera, and really, really good battery life.

I also miss the Dimension Today theme for the 8700c. I know there is one for the 9000, but it doesn't look right. I paid $6 for something that looks terrible compared to the original.

Then again I paid $11 for a triple espresso latte today from StarBucks, and it was horrible as well..

You can get a 9000 without the camera now, and just set to 2G only mode. I had the 8900 for a while and feel that the 9700 is about the same, too small and I don't care for so much cheap plastic feel to it. Yep miss the old scroll wheel also.
