Can anyone give advice on choosing between a 3G or non 3G model?
8700 here in Hong Kong is a Quad band 8700 on GPRS
8707 is a similar unit but works on 3G
Both have almost the same specs but the 3G unit is more expensive to buy and the monthly fee is also more expensive.
Of course I could wait until the 8800 comes out but I love my trackwheel!
Any help gratefully received...

Do you need 3G?
How often do you buy a new phone?
If you need 3G and pay for the 3G service in Hong Kong to tether your laptop as modem, go for the 8707.
If you do not use the 3G service and only use the BB for email, and surf the web when you are in MTR or bus, you can go for the 8700.
When the 8800 comes out, just sell your 870x and buy a 8800.
If you do not use your 870x as a modem with your laptop, it is a waste of money for buying a 8707. It is because you can't play video from BB; the internal memory is small in 8707 (i hope I am right?!).
After all, it is your money.
