I am no longer using my 8300, gone back to the superior 8800, but as I was shutting it down and puttin g it in the drawer with the rest of the BBs, I notice that dust has penetrated the 8300 at edge of the screen between the side volume keys and the right conv. button. If you press on the edge on the device at this spot you can see the lighter silver plastic is not tight against the darker grey plastic under the screen cover.

You would think after the 8700 that the 8300 would be dust tight.

All this supports my opinion that the 75xx series build quality is far superior to what RIM is giving us today. They may not look as spiffy and glitzy but my 75xx series was indestructable.


Give me the guts and screen of the 8800 in a 75xx case you got a winner!
