Totally agree with you on this!!!!

This is the type of keypad i have been looking for which is similar to the 72xx series....

Can't have cam phone at my work.. its a shame i cant swap cases and buttons on the current 8800... only if they made the same style as some of the 87xx to swap cases

I think you'll find that while there is spacing between the keys, this device is much thinner than the 8700 or 8800, and therefore there is not a lot of room on that keypad. I would say you're looking at about the same keypad width as a Treo 750 keyboard.

i knew i didnt buy a 8800 for a reason, that thing looks amazing. going to start saving now...

I will settle with one that has camera, mp3, GPS, and all the features for at least a couple of years or so. Camera, mp3, GPS and extra storage are the priorities I look for. I almost went for Treo due to MSN msger but decided to stick with bb because it's where I'm most comfort with. Most of my previous blackberries have never hit the 2 years mark in my possession! (Have had 8700 for a year and 3 mths now.) My best friend rolls her eyes whenever I flash her with the latest bb, haha. My common-law husband seems ok with my swapping bb's as long as I come up with the money for it on my own.

I like the contours of the 8300. It looks to be more confortable in hand then my current 8800.

Am I missing something... when you watch the video and it goes through the calender and messages and a video the last thing shown on the screen says blackberry 8800 series.

Thinner is not a problem, if its the same width with that type of spacing i would love to have it except the cam is a no can do for my line of work...

The BB in the video was the 8800. You can see that it has a different look than the one playing the video.

Yeah but it'll be running beta code so that's hardly surprising.

I'm guessing that they just don't have a video made for that series yet, so they included the 8800 series video in the demo unit.

GrantMethePower · 03-05-2007, 02:49 PM

Any chance it will be a Tmobile phone?

kasperapd · 03-05-2007, 03:10 PM

Of course there's always a chance....

In the video it does say 8800 in the end, but if you look closely when he flips the phone over, there is a camera lense in the top right hand corner. It's kind of confusing, because the 8800 does not have a camera......

I'm aware of that as I have an 8800. I think they just put the 8800 series video on the beta/test 8300 unit so it would have a video on it.
