Hey johnarky,

I'm really excited about this because the whole reason I came over to BB was the reduced size form factor of the 7100 series. I am basically in jeans and a polo for work all the time and I don't like to caarry anything attached to my hip. I want a small phone that can fit in my pocket. This thing is incredibly small... do a mockup using the measurements from the ruler pic, then you will see why this is a huge improvement. Also, the camera is a huge step. I am out scouting places, I hate to have to carry another piece of equipment. Most of the time all i really need is a snapshot and being able to do that with my phone and then (hopefully!) be able to send that off in an email instantly will make my life so much easier.

I can't and won't carry a 3 inch wide brick. I don't want to deal with crappy windows software. I want to have messaging functionality. BB 7100/8100 is it!
