I tried out the 8700 several months ago and found the PIM part of the phone too much of step back from my years of using a Treo 650. I continue to be drawn to the BB, however.

Are there any reasonable hopes/rumors for the 8700-series* to get:

1. Significant enhancements to the PIM (calendar and Contacts) to bring them inline with Palm and WM5?

2. Camera

3. Memory card

4. Ability of email program to read HTML? (I found this odd, given that the BB is hailed as the ultimate email device, but it couldn't read HTML-formated emails).

(By "8700-series" I mean the form factor with the full QWERTY keyboard)

I'm very bored with my Treo, but at this point (for my purposes), the BB is missing too many features. (Please no flames -- I'm only speaking to what I want; not criticizing BB!)
