Ahhh......

... that would be like crossing the streams.

I totally agree - a large Suretype keyboard???

JC - must be some oxygen deprivation going on! I love the 8320 keyboard.

John - all my emails are dissertations, and according to my wife, pretty much everything I say is a dissertation. I'm the kinda guy that NEEDS fully qwerty in pretty much every aspect of my life. Hence my happy mover from Pearl to 8800 to Curve.

Doesn't sound natural. This is something on the order of somebody trying to play the harp with mittens on.

I apparently am the slowest adapter of technology ... it took me 22 months to go from a 7250 to an 8703e ... at this rate I'll end up skipping the whole 81xx, 83xx, 88xx series.

Can I please have an 857?

No 857, sorry! But I have a nice 7102t, a 7150, a 7210, a 7130 along with some strange old cell phones like a "BAM 201" (that's when Verizon was Bell Atlantic Mobile" - phone made by "Torisan" with a qualcomm chipset), an old Blaupunkt brick from 15 years ago, and more. But...no 857!
