Damn, I love that black color of my 7290. Damn, I love the theme of my 7290.

Thanks Seattle.

This is were the debate comes in, I like the functionality over all of it from what everyone says, but despite what most others feel, I like the size and the feel of my 7250, I know I would not like the smaller keyboard and the new keys. Now if we could only talk Rim into putting into a 7200 sized case with its current keyboard we would definitely have something to crow about.

You should put the blk 8700 next to the grey one.

I'm so glad the UK spec 8700 will be black instead of that sketchy grey that looks like somebody painted it with primer!!! Excellent comparison pic though, the only way to really get an idea of the size.

Expect to see both O2 and Vodafone UK offering their varients by the beginning of next year. RIM have announced that the 8700c is under exclusive sale through Cingular, but like any phone, it's period of exclusivity to one network will only be for a limited period.

That's exactly right, but in a materialistic world we all have the right to like or dislike how something looks, even if it has no bearing on whether on not we would use it, so show some respect newbie!!!!

Yeah that grey plastic is so 1980's Nintendo GameBoy!
I was hoping for a sleeker metallic grey with aluminum trim..like the Treo has.

Come on guys...functionality is a given when it comes to BB. Style is the extra icing on the cake that makes our mouth water before we even touch it...
and right now my mouth ain't watering over that bland dull grey box of an 8700!!!
