Ok, here we go. As much as I love this BlackBerry I felt that I had to post the issues me and my friends have noticed. 1. My screen has scratched so badly that I am depressed. Fell out of my pocket the ONE time I wasnt using the holster and there are little scratches EVERYWHERE. 2. The FAKE metal bezel around the screen is painted, that has scratched aswell...remember the white one on the 7230s? Looks like we have stepped back to that. 3. Good friend of mine who got the 8700 same day as me has said his backbutton, escape button, whatever you want to call it is broken. If he blows on it it will activate and go back...very shady. Plus this doesnt feel at all as solid as my 7290 a friends 7520 got ran over by a car and lived to type about it, there is NO WAY this will survive anything close to that...so sad. I will go drink myself to sleep.
