I'm 37, currently use a 7130e, have used. Cingular, Nextel, and Verizon BB of other models over the years. I am cursing the fact that the 8100 won't be with Verizon until 2008, if I am lucky. I find it hard to discuss what markets RIM is and isn't marketing to with the 8100 when they haven't released the thing yet. I am willing to bet AIM shows up for the 8100 fairly quickly, I also bet that RIM needs to get units made and shipped to meet the demand before this can happen.
