I ordered this on Tuesday from my business rep, received it yesterday from Fedex. I did not pay extra for overnight shipping, it was 2 day shipping to be percise, but I got it next day. Came out of PA, I live in NH.

Next to the 8700c, this is a much better casing (IMO). It's got a slick ultra smooth rubber like feel to it. The keys do not float like they did on some of the 8700c's. As you can see from the photos, I removed the default Verizon theme. I do not notice a performance difference between the 8700c & 8703e. I use mine with a BES that connects to a Domino sever, as well as using blackberry.net email. I have IBM Sametime 7.5 installed as my IM client and Google Maps. The EVDO rocks, have it tethered to laptop right now.

Pretty happy with it so far... let's see if it will make me take the jump from Cingular to Verizon!
Mine came in a different box.
