I have seen mixed responses regarding the keypad and the "suretype" system. what you guys think...the good, the bad, the ugly i wanna hear both sides.

It took me only a day to get used to suretype. You just treat it like a regular keyboard. And stick with it. It gets a lot easier in time. And smarter since it learns your typing habits.

I have had two full QWERTY keyboard BB and just switched to the 7105t. Suretype isn't bad at all. I'm actually faster with the 7105t than I was with my 7230. I also have less spelling mistakes due to the way suretype works.

Another benefit is not confusing my BB keyboard and shortcuts with my PC keyboard! I think you'll find the 7105t with SureType is an excellent choice.

Suretype is good. Glad you chose the 71XX series

Thanks for the help. I am also considering upgrading to a 7105t. I also have had 2 full keyboard 7730's which I enjoyed except for the backlighting and signal which were horrible.

I also have a question if someone can help me. I saw on one of the free introductory lessons on blackberry.com that the 7105t power button can be used to change the backlighting level of the screen. How does that work?

[EricaJ1073]

I just got my 7105t yesterday and love it except for the fact that I'm waiting for it to provision and it's taking it's own time.

Oh and I figured out the backlighting question. I tried it myself and it works. Just press the power button lightly with the screen on.
