So, can we assume then that the 8700 will be released in NOV or is this just for business users and it will be released later on to the public???

I am currently with Nextel and have been really thinking of switching to Cingular. NOT because of the new 8700, but because, when I did the math, I will be saving about $20.00 - $25.00/month for the same service. And have more than enough Minutes. I like the Roll-over and seeing as I work in construction, my minutes use varies and this helps me to avoid changing plans.
