I've read a couple of outstanding reveiws that some of you have done on the 8800, but I haven't yet found a good thread comparing the 8700 with the 8300. I have an 8700, and I considered upgrading (?) to the 8800, but the reviews generally indicated the 8800 keyboard was more cramped and therefore not as good for emailing; so I kept the 8700. The phone function is certainly important to me, but I also do a lot of emailing and texting from it. I would be interested in a thorough comparison of the 8700 and the 8300, with particular emphasis on the typing comparisons.

Thank you very much!
