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.

hailer...i still think there is more than a wording difference.
can you find out, when you receive a call on 8700c, can you choose between 1. hold the current call and 2. drop the current call and pick up the incoming call?
from what you said, #2 is not an option. in 8800, i can decide that i want to simply hang up on the person i am talking to and pick up the incoming call (i believe).
by the way,
Stinsonddog, I just gave as a honest review as I could, and personally I think the good far outweighed the bad on 8800, and in my opinion it's the strongest phone on the market. I am sure I will get used to the keyboard. Of course, I love my BB very much.
As the GPS...it's called LBS 1.0.7.0
When I was in GPS, I got an email, so I switched to email, then after that I couldn't even scroll. (There will be a 10 seconds delay on screen and my scroll, not to mention I couldn't even read the email or reply. So I just switched back to GPS, closed the program, then everything was fast again.)
Btw, thanks for the "R" advice.
