I did the 30 day test drive on the 8830. I just decided against the 8830 and went back to my 8703 w/extended seidio battery. Definitely some nice new features, but I LOVE my tried and true 8703 and my big battery. Most of all though, I welcome back my keyboard. I'd gotten used to the 8830 keyboard, but after a month I'd forgotten what my 8703 keyboard was like. I LOVE IT! I'll give the curve a try when vzw gets it, but not until an extended battery & door are already available.

just my $.02
