I got the flip because it was my first berry and i thought I would be a noob for a while. I have gone past that now, so I crave something else. I have about 2.5 years to go before I can upgrade.

That being said, I totally love it. The suretype did take a while to get used to, but I was coming from T9. I know of people who've upgraded from an 8100 to an 8900 and I don't think they would go back. They love the full keyboard. That took them some time to get used to. I get a little frustrated with the suggested words that suretype spits out for words that are similar, but I've changed the Autotext to fix that. They also love OS 4.6 and how it looks.

If you are a speed demon with a full keyboard, get that one. The suretype might cause you to second guess the words you type and slow you down.
