Has anyone got the blackberry 8700, what do you think of it?

Is it fast/slow?, what about ease of use?

I am thinking of one these against the Nokia E61 (I know its not out yet).

I use a B/Berry for work, a 8700v, and personally I think it's an awesome piece of kit, ok, it's not that small, and it ain't that pretty looking BUT, it's very usable and does many many things my other phones don't do.

Give you some examples,

1. whether you like it or not, it's the best and most reliable push email solution on the market, it works like a charm and the proper qwerty k/board is great.

2. lots of small features, like auto lock on holster, different profiles for in holster and out of holster, and auto sense on the back lights

3. Awesome battery life.

OK yeah it's not great when your out for the night etc, but as a business tool, it"s ideal.
