It took a while for me to trust that it would eventually come up with the right word, but once I got over that I ended up being able to fly on it. I just picked up a 8703 and I'm slow as molasses on a cold New England morning when typing something on this thing. There are features on the 8703 (a lot more keyboard shortcuts and a lot more speed dials available) that keep me from returning to the 7130, but I do miss Suretype.
