I had the 7100i but got tired of the "not fully equiped" status that a usual blackberry has. My and my fiance totally loved the PTT feature but decided to give it up to get a newer/updated BB so we simply crossed the street to sprint. We both have curves and totally love them. If nextel is indeed coming out with a curve with PTT, you can bet I'm crossing back over to nextel.

I've never gotten staticky reception no matter where I was in the US and with sprint I experience often. 1x data isn't so bad and if the curve will have WIFI, its available almost everywhere nowadays.

It means I'll have to give up 3G...hmmm. Does anyone know if the 8350i will have the option for "phone as modem"?
