I will have to agree with jibi and PASS on the touch screen. One thing I love about the BB is it uses no stylus/finger to navigate. The trackwheel does it all and it looks like we will be going to the marble.

I used the 8100 for a few days and was not impressed with the marble as it lacked any tactile feel like the wheel that had "clicks" so you knew what you were doing. The marble requires you LOOK at the screen while rolling the marble. I will mot likely HAVE to get used to it as THIN IS IN and the marble seems to be a thinner hardware.

It will be VERY interesting to see how it holds up under long term use and the 8100 people will be sure to tell us!
