Hi, guys:

I really want get either a 8100 pearl or 8700 BB from Tmobile soon. Have some trouble deciding which one I should get, I really love the slim form factor of 8100 series and also like the large screen size of 8700 series. After couple days research, still can't make up my mind.

I tried browse web on both devices, it seems 8700 is faster than 8100, now I'm leaning towards 8700 series. I desperately need someone's input on this.

also is google map going to work on 8700?

Thanks a lot

Didn't you just post this someplace else?

Yes, Google maps will work on the 8700.

It also work on 8100.

The 8100 comes with it's own maps too. If you get Bluetooth GPS, you can use it to give you turn by turn directions (no voice).
