The 8900 was the best yet, and I had to put tape under the battery door to stop the rattles.

Having said that, I'm happy with the device overall. 3g is great, the keyboard is great, and I like 5.0.

If iphones multitasked, I'd be in. It's the only device that has the kind of build quality I want in a device. They were onto something with the lack of battery doors...
RIM may need some help regarding build quality but the battery door comment doesn't make sense, the battery door is the sturdiest part of the 9700. It's super tight until you push down on that part, great design. I would never choose an unremoval battery, THAT in itself is a greater design flaw that a battery cover that creaks.
