much thanks flipside.

Well, already I see a few things I like:

1) Speakerphone on rear; this should improve ringer volume as well.
2) Microphone is on the face of the device, not at the end. This will reduce pickup of background noises.
3) Softkeys adjacent to screen
4) Greater contrast between phone and other keys

Something that troubles me is the shape of the keyboard: Its a smile, not a frown....this may affect long-time users like me who have become accustomed to the "frown" shaped qwerty.

Also not sure I like the positioning of the LED alert. Its not on the end, which would make it difficult to see when in a holster or pouch.

And square keys? Hmmm...not sure I like that.

Trying to post pics of the sides, but the quota is set at 14k... anyone have a site that can host these? They're much larger and detailed, just need space to put them.

Flipside...thanks for posting. If you email them to me I would be more than happy to upload them to my site.

I think it looks hideous....the other photo from BBHub and Blackberry Cool looked much better.

looks like Cingular may be getting this one. Did anyone see the Cingular logo on the front picture?

As promised, here are the pics. Still working on the LCD pic as the current doesnt do it any justice.

what's the left side button? some kind of voice dial button maybe? too much to hope its the iden ppt i guess

[flip_side]

In its current form, its simply a "hot key" button. It's speculated that it may support PTT if/when Cingular launches it.

How is the size compared to the 72XX series? Smaller? From the pics, it appears to be about the same size. Thank you so much for posting. Is it a blue or silver color?

[xxhiyanxx]

i woudlnt' count on the speaker helping out wiht the ring volume much.... nextel has a speaker and the ringer sucks

[flip_side]

Its a silver color and about the same size as the 7200 series, only thinner.
