Great review! This pretty much is inline with other "pro" reviews out there. I can't wait to trade-in my 8100, which I love, for the 8300 - like you, I feel it will be that sweet spot device we all have been looking for.

Great info.. thanks for posting. I can't wait to get my hands on one.

Thx for the review. Now, I can't wait to get my hands on one even though I just got my 8703. Gives me a little time to come up with a reason of just why i "need" it. My wife doesn't understand why I keep jumping from phone to phone everytime a new one comes out but when i switched over to the bb, I knew i was hooked on these phones.

as a 8700 user moved to 8300 all i can say its definatly an improvement. lacks the 5meg camera, standard 4meg micro sd card, gps, fm radio, wifi..... oh, i must be thinking of the Blackberry 9xxx.

I do agree! Great review! I spoke with my rep on Sunday, she told that the 8300 will be out in August. The iphone will be out before that. She said they didn't want to take away from the iiphone's release! That sucks...

You might want to find a new rep. The initial press release from RIM mentioned AT&T (Cingular) as the only U.S. Carrier and said that it would be out this spring. As summer starts the third week of June, I would bet it's out a lot sooner than August.

I will get off my stale money and purchase one of these when they become available thru TMO. I'm very disappointed with the 8100.

Cheers

I feel the same way, KUDOS to BlackBerry.

I like having the excuse of SureType to make me look like an idiot. It lessens the focus on any reality behind being an idiot! = )
