I know there are a lot of us out there that love our 71xx blackberry but some of us are stuck on cdma carries due to contracts or a job issued blackberry.
Has suretype died? The 8100 was the last suretype model and nothing new has come out that's not qwert since the the 8100 was released and why has RIM not released the 81xx with cdma yet, what is taking to long. I love the size factor of my 7130 and don't want to switch to a wider blackberry or a qwerty keypad.

IMO the 88xx models have take the size issue out of play -- and kept a full KB. I can't see any benefit of Suretype (Ok I never did but then my BB has always been an email device first phone 2nd)

Size does matter...
I use my bb as a phone most of the time and read most of my email and do a small amount of typing. I like the compressed keyboard that suretype gives you.. I hope sure type has not been ended...
Maybe there might be a chance with the 91xx...
