I wonder if that would ever make it into other BB's. It would be a nice thing to happen. In all honesty, from my own point of use, the camera thing is a thing of the past as looking st the usage of it in my prior phones and not having it on the 8700 did not ever faze me. However, the remaining feaures on the 8100 sure look like a wining formula. Lets hope at least the VC does make into the OS of other BB models (current and future) as I am sure this will be a big bonus for all the BB addicts.
