yaY!!!
i'm not going to use it tho until i get my screen protector in.
i want to conserve that virgin screen. ordered the screen patronus today.
but i must say this phone looks and feels good. definatley a huge upgrade in the screen from my old 7100t (had to peel back the protective film and take a peek!).
just thought i'd let people know and waste forum space! jk.
but seriously, this phone is pretty neat. i excited to migrate from the
hybridized 7100t to the full blown 8700 with full qwerty key board.

I too came from a 7100t to the 8700.
Honestly? I can't figure out how I ever got along with suretype; it's a night and day difference. My first forray into the BB was the 7100 so I can't comment on much else outside of the same ole "OMG, TEH SCREEN IS TEH ROXOR" (even though it is quite good). I just find the full qwerty to be the biggest draw for me.
I've been using my 8700g for two months without a screen protector and even though the screen is flush with the rest of the phone, I don't have any scratches. It seems to be a pretty resiliant screen.
