Hi Everybody,

I also can't wait to get one. Currently have a BB 7130e which has 'SureType' which I now really like to use .

Hope everyone realizes that the BB 8100 also has SureType !!

Just thought it should be said.

My only real problem with SureType is that I find myself constantly switching beween three input methods to type what I want. The Multi-tap confirmation is getting more annoying by the day...

Geez, that 8100 is small as all get out - its the same size as some Sony Erricsson candybars! It's the same size as the Chocolate...

Thanks for sharing the pictures Boy Genius. I can't wait until it is released. That's one hot item. I truly believe that it'll sell better than the SideKick3!!!!!!

[fmtek]

probably a stupid question, but anyone have a date on the release of this phone for Cingular???

Thanks,

I made some color and balance corrections while reducing the overall sizes of the images:

I just can't get over how it compares size wise to the RAZR!!! Outstanding. Hey Verizon, get with the program here, Christmas is right around the corner.......

The 8100 is SUCH a nice looking BB. But 8700 wins for me for the simple reason that I love the full keyboard and I hate suretype. But it is a nice stride towards a media centered, sleek BB.

Talk about setting the bar low! Let's hope it captures more market share than that.

I wonder if RIM will get their version of AIM out when the 8100 comes out, which would be a double whammy against the Sidekick.

Hey BG, whats the screen size? My 8700's screen is great for web browsing but im afraid the 8100's screen will be too small.

8100 screen is 240 x 260
8700 screen is 320 x 240
7130 screen is 240 x 260

8100 and 7130 are the same size it sounds and the 8100 is def a lot thinner

[adamlau]

It does appear that the 8100 screen is smaller than that of the 7130...
