have me take a step back.

I know the Pearl is on the horizon and looks nice but I am a fan of the QWERTY layout. Had a 7510 then a 7520 for a handful of years.

Is there anything that I should wait for with a full QWERTY layout? GSM or otherwise? Or should I dish out the $350 on a 8700g?

wait till the pearl comes out in a few weeks then go to the store and play with both and see which u prefer

if you are two steps away, just buy it.
You know you want it anyway... :-)

I say go for it. Why delay the gratification? Lifes too short to wait for the next best thing. Even if you wait something better is always going to be on the horizon.

youre a grown man, you can make that decision on your own, but if you do want it, i suggest you go to amazon, its almost free there

...consider yourself pushed! This is from a 8700g owner, and loving it!

Have you tried both a QWERTY BB keyboard and a SureType keyboard? Some people end up hating one or the other. Since the software is the same, picking the form factor and keyboard type is the most important factor.

Luck.

I just bought it. Its alot different from the suretype blackberry 7100ish keyboards; but I really like the feel.

Its got a really vibrant screen too, looks way better then my old 7100e.

Congrats on your decision!

Now go try these apps. Use your BB to access these sites:

PocketDay - http://www.crossriversystems.com/ - I can't live without this app

Well worth the money.

Opera - mini.opera.com

Google maps - www.google.com/gmm

Google talk - http://www.google.com/talk/

Yahoo Insant Messenger - http://mobile.yahoo.com/blackberry

And once you get adventurous, you can enable the Zen theme using these directions: http://www.blackberryforums.com/gen...html#post184770

Enjoy!

I say go for it too. If you need a camera, get a camera, and if you need a music player get an iPod. If you need a great smartphone, get a blackberry. I have had Treos and while it is kinda cool to have a camera and MP3 player, after the initial week, I never used them.

Do yourself a favor and learn to use the shortcut keys, they will make your life sooo much easier. The phone is great, I'm getting an 8700 next week, one of the perks of working for T-Mobile

I love my 8700! I used to use a treo 700 on verizon and I was not impressed. I think the 8700 is a pretty slick little device.
