The biggest selling point for the new 8703e is that it will be the first BB to be capable of connecting directly to your PC and acting as an EVDO modem. In theory you could dump your home internet service and use your BB for your internet connectivity (via USB port). Same goes for laptop internet connectivity. For me - it's a huge plus, as I am currently paying $80 for VZWBB. The EVDO plans (at least according to websites) will be about $15 extra, not $40. Oh, and as I numerously posted in the last 2 days here (cough, hehehe, cough) - 8100 sucks.

I returned my 8100 to store and this Sunday will happily part with about $375, buy 8703e and sign up for 2 years service. At least to me - it's worth it.
