Dropped sidekick while driving and it scratched on the carpet of my car! No not the winter rubber mat, the CARPET. So emotional

A friend of mine works for RIM and has an 8700. I was playing with it the other day and noticed that the back button was quite loose/flimsy. I was also looking at the screen, though he didn't have any scratches I was curious as to how it would handle bumps/scrapes. My friend assured me that the production models will be more robust and that his was an engineering/pre-production sample. Hopefully the one that you got is not one of the ones that they're filling the channel with.
Regarding the bugginess of the firmware for making calls and the speaker phone, I suspect that will be rectified quite quickly. If you really run into problems check to see if Rogers has a newer handheld OS than Cingular, I know that Rogers are usually later to market with devices because they go through quite rigorous testing with their devices. I remember it took us almost 2 to 3 months longer to get handheld OS 4.0 compared to other carriers.
