Thank you underskybb for the review! I've been going back and forth on if I should really shell out $499.00 retail for this. I've decided to hold off for now. I'll wait until the next version comes out to see what else BB can offer. My current 8700c will last me awhile.

BTW - In addition, when I get a call-waiting call during a conversation, now I have a choice to "drop the current call" or "hold the current call." I don't remember seeing that in 8700c, but I might be wrong.

You can do this on the 8700c too. When on a call, and another call comes in you get the option to approve or deny it. If you approve then you can place the current caller on hold and answer the new call.
