Likes:

keyboard - back to the 8700 style. room between the keys!
extra convenience key on the right side.
Looks and feels sturdier.
Better fitting in the hand.
Spell-check!
Case color looks like it might withstand scratches more.


Dislikes:

Cant set convenience key to the old escape key.
No plastic or leather holster. I hate items in my pockets.
Have to remove battery to get access to MicroSD slot.


So far that's what I have found in the first 30 minutes.

You can order the OEM leather case directly from Blackberry! Definitly dont want that thing in your pocket (scratch city).

I'm just going to use the 8800 leather case until I find the one I like. Seems to work okay.

The 8800 one works, but the 8300's case is a lil smaller! Fine for now though.
