After spending sometime with the 8703e from verizon. this is a good BB. Havnt test out the BIS setup yet. But google maps is rock solid. Cant wait for GPS (if it ever happens verizon). MiniOpera, well I was not that impressed. Pages that will recognize the phone you are using do not seem to work with Opera. Until I see something differet I'll stick with the normal browser. Its better if you turn on style sheets anyway.
