thanks again for your advice. I went into an ATT corporate store today, and brought home a shiny red 8310!

no need to wrap this present Santa!
Got it for just $99 without having to wait for a rebate....so how could I refuse?
now comes the task of downloading all the cool software I had on the 8700
