Mitch...

The specs of the 8700 should be 'officially' released on Nov 9. I think the wait for a week or two is going to be well worth it. The processor, screen and pretty much everything else has been upgraded to a certain extent. It's a very fast and very slick device.

I have a 7290 that I carry daily, but the day that the 8700 is released I will have one in my pocket. I had posted quite a bit of information about the 8700, but was then asked to remove it by RIM, ya... it sucks.

The wait will be worth it, I guarantee it.

cd.

ps. Sorry to hear about your daughter, I would die if any of my children were ever taken from me.
