The software design and UI of s60 is just okay, the menus are very layered which makes things hard to find and they take a lot of time to get to. The RIM/BB OS is so simple, elegent, functional, and powerful....it just lacks some of the 3rd party apps bells and whistles of the other big OS players.

Agreed. While I absolutely *love* my E61 as it does everthing I need it to, the BB is still the best messaging device around. I miss the scrollwheel. I miss the sensible shortcuts and UI philosophy. I still have my 7520, but since my goal was to consolidate, I'll be sticking with the E61 as my main comm device.
I would've gone with the 8700 if I could use it as a modem for my Mac, but still no support from RIM or a 3rd party for that yet. :(
