I think the keyboard on the 8800 is def. more solid than the 8700g I had. on the old BB, when you try to move one key, the whole keyboard wobbles, but on the 8800, they seem to be individual keys where one doesn't affect the rest. However, I still don't like the spacing nor the contour ridge, but will get used to it.
Its def. not as comfortable to hold as the 8700 due to the more sharp angles and the lack of the contour shape esp on the bottom. I def. prefer the functionality of the trackball over the wheel, but find it a lot less responsive. If you move around the ball without lightly pressing it down, the highlighter doesn't go anywhere. I was thinking, what if they put the ball where the old wheel used to be, you can hold it like you used to hold on the older models but still have that ball functionality.
