Personally, I like their numerical designations better, but they seem to be running out of room in the four-digit range - would you have liked the "BlackBerry 13250?" ;) Anyway, if you're into this sort of thing (and don't be ashamed, this one seems to be fully loaded!), check out the leaked information and previously posted pictures all nicely laid out for you. Could this make you switch over to "the Dark Side?"

I doubt that I would be willing to switch over to a Blackberry again, but that one does definitely look nice, and I know my sister (currently using a T-Mobile 7105t) will love it when I get it for her.

Well it's a good beginning. The BlackBerry interface really is great and beats MS on many levels. But it's not as capable. And completely falls down in terms of 3rd party apps. However, as an instant emailer, it is the best.
I can see this device appealing to many people.
I personally don't like the Suretype keyboard. I wonder how Suretype has been selling. Don't see that many of them around. I wonder if they'll bring the memory card etc. to a device with their good keyboard.
