With the pearl, software was pretty good and it had some small software bugs every now and then(i had a wierd issue where when i was using bluetooth, and i go to answer a call when i was already on one, it would send it to voicemail), but the 8800 is giving me all kinds of problems. Every now and then when i go to dial a # it gives a unhandled exception error and it lags alot. Now to the point, anyone that can give me some input, do you think the 8300 software is better, is the 8700 the most stable? Should i switch back? Should i stick it out, till the 8300 comes out? The lagging in the 8800 is driving me nuts, when i type a name from the home screen it doesnt find it in my address book and i gotta delete letters slowly till it shows the names, then i can retype the rest and it will find it. Its as if it cant keep up with me.
Thanks in advance

I periodicaly run into bugs but they don't seem any worse than previous devices (the 8700 seemed to be the most steady however mine went through about 6 or 8 OS upgrades so it probably should have been steady).
The bugs that I experience with the 8800
-Periodic java errors when dialing
-Periodic phone hanging with continuous tone when attempting to dial
-If I shut off an MP3 that is playing, when my phone turns on automatically in the morning -- it starts playing the MP3 again
-I think this is a Cingular network problem but periodically I loose connectivity with my BES and network - turning the signal on/off usually works but once or twice I had to go the batter pull route.
