As a relatively old geezer myself, there are other issues other than suretype. But suretype is a biggie as well!
Other things that make the 8700 a lock are:
?Bigger Screen
?BBlite actually works and the screen doesn't turn off whie typing!
?Short cuts from home screen!! (Geezers like economy of motion)
Just to name a few...
