Battery compatibility?

Does anyone know whether 7100 or 8700 batteries will work in my 8800? The form factor looks identical, but admittedly the colours are different! :?

About half our users (including me!) are still on 7290s ... for those users, the 8800 is an awesome upgrade.

I believe that HSDPA actually implies UMTS as well. Nevertheless, the (Rogers version of the) 8800 doesn't have either HSDPA or UMTS -- or does it?

Can't wait another year ... that's too long on a 7290! 8800 in two months, and then maybe I'll upgrade again to a 9x00 in 2008 when they appear on Rogers.

Your post count is twice as high now so I think you are OK! :smile:

I'll be looking forward to the Arrow, as I just became eligible for an upgrade (just missed the 8700 the last time).
