Because of the great community here at BlackBerry Forums, and the requests I have decided to put up some exclusive pictures for the members here. Also I want to give Russell Shaw over at BBHub.com a shoutout for his excellent work covering pretty much every single BlackBerry story big or small, and also BlackBerry Cool. Now the coolness... Comparison photos with 7130, 8700g (Gold), and Motorola RAZR, and yes the 8100 is thinner than the RAZR!

Alright! BG comes through again! Thanks a lot for everything

Nice pictures! Can't wait until I can upgrade.

Sweet...Real sweet...
I'm def on the 8100 bandwagon...
At first it was gonna be for the gf only...
I was gonna stay with the either the 8700 or 7130...
Now I plan to pick up two 8100 devices for the both of us...

It does look really cool. I don't know, I want to stick with my 8700 but these pic are turning me to the 8100 side haha.

This is everything I have always wanted in a blackberry. I need a tissue.

Just a the 2nd of my last 2 questions directly on the 8100 ....

BT v2.0+EDR with A2DP support!?

which provider again is said to release this? sorry Im at home with computer down using a mobile smartphone to type this in T9 support.

Tmobile, for the second part and on the first part.

I am really wondering this myself, I have searched all the articles with no clear answers and I am really debating getting a set of BT Headphones and modding the hardware into my Sony MDR-7506's = the ultimate media/headset

Being able to utilize that with my blackberry and being able to do mobile blogging with images..... well, I need to change my pants.

Also on a side note, if I pick up three of the new 8100's and connect them all to a lanyard, would I not in effect be packing a string of pearls? Oh yeah I went there

Very nice. Thanks for the pics!

BG, just wondering about the function of the joystick, is it in effect similar to the same style of action you would have on say an Xbox controller analog stick? I.e. clickability for on/off input and then free range motion although I expect with a lot less give then a Xbox analog?

wow I'm surprised at the thiness of the 8100. I wonder if the 8700 will get this thin too. motorola Q killer here we come

I think the Q killed itself. No audience...
I have one somewhere. Not sure where.

its hiding behind a pen.

**DROOLING** wow thats a skinny little toy. cant wait for that to come out on cingular. thye better not push this back or else!.. until then ill jsut have to wait to get a BB and stick with the nokia.

Very nice gold 8700

I can't wait for the 8100

BG just makes me want to be him with every new stocks he gets all the time.... Nice works and thanks for sharing...lol

where can you get a gold BB8700 exactly BG? i thought that was pharells thing only... customized and paid too much for it. better yet.. is there goign to be a gold BB 8100?!?!?!?

Anyone know if you will know be able to open excel documents in a readable manner with the new phone or .pdf documents?

If not, there is always RepliGo Professional for BlackBerry.

Wow, never seen that before. Pretty cool stuff. Do you know if it will work with BES? Being connected to my company's BES limits software downloads and access to websites.

How did you get a gold BB?

lol. That was a gay commercial. They announcer sounded all suprised when they removed the pen. He was like "OH THERE IT IS", haha.

my 8700g is going in a ditch on September 18th...
