My BlackBerry history started with the 8700, then the 8800, then the 8330, then the 9700. I like the 9700 most of all - at first, I missed the 8330's keyboard but now I've gotten used to it. I like being able to watch YouTube on it; and I actually like the zoom in (I); zoom out (O) better then Opera - which I've also downloaded to view Salesforce.
To the person who commented on the Alarm showing in the Calendar - access Calendars then Options, then General Options and change Show Alarm to No.
I'm looking forward to seeing the 9800 slider. I really would like a bigger screen to view pictures, surf, etc - although it is not my primary use of the phone.
I also hope they skip the 5mb camera and just go to an 8mb camera - lastly, if they could make the browser zoom in and out as good as Safari - it would be perfect.
Thanks and good luck.
