OK SO I CURRENTLY OWN THE BLACKBERRY 7290 AND I WANT AN UPGRADE, I WAS LOOKING INTO THE 8800 AND WAS PLEASED UNTIL I SAW THE TRACKBALL. I HAVE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE TRACKWHEEL AND DECIDED TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER SERIES TO WAIT AND SEE IF THEY BROUGHT BACK THE TRACKWHEEL. BUT NOW THAT THE CURVE WAS REVEALED I SAW THE TRACKBALL WAS HERE TO STAY. BEING A CURRENT OWNER OF THE 7290 I ENJOY THE FACT THAT ITS A WORK PHONE. I DONT NEED NOR WANT A CAMERA IN MY PHONE. I ALSO LIKE THE PLASTIC DURABLE CASE ON MY 7290 BUT I SEE THAT BLACKBERRIES ARE COMING IN WITH A MORE CLASSIER LOOK. I ENJOY BEING ABLE TO THROW MY PHONE ON TOP OF MY BED RATHER THAN PLACING IT GENTLY. I LIKE BLACK PHONES, NOT SILVER. THAT IS WHY I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR RIM TO COME OUT WITH A BLACK 8700 FOR CINGULAR BUT IT NEVER DID. SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH THE OLD 7290 AND WOULD LIKE TO UPGRADE DUE TO THE FACT I FEEL OLD FASSIONED. ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT THING IS THAT I LIKE FULL KEYBOARDS AS WELL AS THE KEYBOARD KEYS BEING SPREAD SUCH AS THE OLD 7290s. I SEE THAT THE 8300 KEYS ARE SPREAD MORE THAN THE 8800 KEYS. WHAT SHOULD I GET? WHAT IS RIGHT FOR ME? THE COLOR FACTOR ISN'T THAT BIG OF A DEAL ANYMORE BUT WOULD LIKE A BLACK CURVE. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? WHAT DO YOU GUYS LIKE AND DISLIKE FROM THE 8800? I JUST SIGNED UP FOR THIS FORUM. THANKS!
