Switch to Windows Mobile? You must be kidding...I'd rather use an old Sharp Wizard from 1992.

I have been using the 8700 for a while now and in between have purchased the sgh-i600, the HTC Mteor, T-Mobile Dash, The Nokia E61 and a hell of a lot more, I still land up going back to my BBerry. Why? simple...its still the best messaging system out there and without a doubt an incredible handheld. I travel extensively and would have loved a BBerry with a intergrated camera and voila - its here finally. No need for me to now carry a second mobile device so i can take pictures (I am in the fashion business) and email my office on the move. The 2mb is sufficient in the curve but would have prefered a 3.2 but it will come. The issue of wifi (the lack thereof) is no major issue as the gprs/edge is sufficient and with the data packages offered by T-Mobile I do not mind the extra few seconds transmitting via gprs/edge as against 3g or even hsdpa. the ultimate phone does not exist and the more performance and option you get, it comes with a price and that's battery performance or the lack thereof. So for now i will wait patiently for the day that someone out there sorts the power issue out. the day will come...and in my lifetime! hopefully.

Looks like a classy bit of kit

Wifi and 3g are battery hogs and aren't necessary for what this phone is about.

Was playing with one of thesee yesterday (honestly). Seems like more silly hybridising. That problem someone else had with not being allowed to use a cameraphone at work seems like it could be fairly widespread, and i reckon some connectivity would be more useful in a blackberry than a camera. Still, the nice sales rep guy promised me that they'd have a WiFi model "soon". Guess we'll just have to wait and see...

no 3g, no wi-fi, screen no way compared to what is offered by nokia and others, plus the disadvantage of having a camera.

i don't know where RIM is going with this...

O my God, RIM sitll did not add any WIFI and 3g. We do not need camera for God' sake. And why the hell they take away the GPS! RIM, you guys are out of the league!

Where's the 3G? Can RIM at least make the screen resolution better? I was never a Blackberry fan.
Looks-wise, this 8300 is ok.

I work for Cingular and I'm getting this the day it comes out. I mean, its nothing new over the pearl except the camera and the stereo bt but sure type is getting annoying and I wouldn't mind trying this out. Looks really good. Just wish it had 3g and a Better screen

Another crappy half-breed PDA from blackberry. They should just switch over to Windows Mobile.
