I'll also get an 8100 as well :D
Have you checked the BST section yet?

Yeah ... his name is Jimmy Neutron! lol ... ok so its a bad joke.

@coreyg510; thanks I had no clue this site had a Martetplace section. ppl are asking a pretty penny for the 8700g ... and most sellers are in the US, while I'm in Canada ... currency exchange on top of shipping cross border charges isnt in my best favor at the moment. But I'll consider it.

I'm thinking of waiting too. UMTS is knocking the doors and EDGE will be so outdated soon. I don't want to buy this and then see that they bring out a UMTS version 3 months down the line.

Default Hmmm...

That slanted keyboard looks exactly like every other TMob BB...i'm betting the keyboard on the Cingular version will look exactly like the 7130c, and the 7100g, etc.

That's a great look, but also the space between the keys just helps for typing. I like how RIM's products have a very good user interface implementation (like the scroll wheel, the homescreen keyboard shortcuts, etc.) and this product looks slick...going to be a killer!

It looks to me as though the size of the 8100 is very close to the size of the grey part of the Cingular's 7130c and perhaps slightly thinner. That will be a perfect sized device. time for RIM to step into the best form factor fight...

A jump from EDGE to UMTS would be a great addition, but I doubt this generation will have that - i am hoping I am wrong though. I'm sure the 2nd generation will be bumped up though.

Hopefully, the trackball really has an innovative and easy way to control the device, similar to the scroll wheel. Well, we'll see...

BG, can you confirm any of this??

"suretype" phones are meant for non-business BB users. one can get used to using suretype, but its hella lot slower than a full qwerty keypad like the 8700. You can be a fast hunt-and-peck typer, but will never reach full potential as a two handed typer. If you use BB primarily as a portable email tool, full qwerty is the way to go.

I have to hand it to BB. the 8100 is TIGHT looking.

I am certainly a business user and I am happy with Suretype. My contact and calendar functions are crucial, but not ALL business users need to respond to 10-20 or more emails instantaneously. For me, receiving my emails during the day is important so when I go home at night, I am not at the computer for a couple of hours looking through the emails of the day.
To some emails, I reply during the day, some I respond with a phone call, and some I answer later at my computer.

I point this out to correct this "business", "non-business" concept, that unless we are responding to 100 emails a day from our BB, we are not a business user. I choose BB because I need a really good phone (it has so far failed me here, but I have hopes with the 8100), PIM, and email functions with a little internet usage. I don't want to carry a phone and a PDA. BB gives me what I need in one unit. But I am still a business user.

I am excited the 8100 has MP3 capabilities, voice dialing, and voice recorder (will be huge for me) and some other great functions. The camera does not matter to me one way or the other; if I had a choice I would probably go without, but not at the expense of the other new utilties the 8100 offers. Even business users like to have fun!

Boy Genius, is there someway to do some benchmarking on battery power of the 7100 vs the 8100? I dunno if there's some sort of spamming of instant messaging you could do or idle time benchmark or something.
