I just bought it used from a friend for $30! I really love it but the keys are rather bunched up and tricky to get use to. But I'm getting there. The sure type is a royal pain and the multi-tao is okay but also a bit cumbersome! I miss the old full qwerty keypad on my now ancient and deactivated Nextel 7520! LOL! Anybody remember that model? Anyways, I do love the speed and features of the 8100, but no video is a drag! Spoiled lot aren't we? LOL! Heck even my Dolce Gabbana V3i had video! And that is now ancient too! Moore' Law in effect! So I have yet another friend who has a brand new 8820(?) "limited edition" which is only 2 months old and barely used! She has all the stuff and the box it came in! She is a gadget junkie like me! But she needs the $ bad! It has a latex rubber skin/case that she bought 4it too! Does that have video? I offered her 200 since T-mobile will sell me one online with a 2year upgrade for 250! But why bother? Sounds like a no-brainer 2 me! Chick is cute too! That was the blackberry I originally wanted but could not afford! What should I do guys? She will probably take less if I flash some cash at her! She works in a coffee shop I frequently visit! Gerry Philadelphia PS. I saw the unit. Looks clean and brand new! Works fine! What should I do?

For these two reasons, the 8820 should be considered the superior device. The 8820 does however have a 2.5mm headset jack, unlike the 3.5mm jack on the 8120 and 8320. The 8820 also lacks a camera, for those who care.

It launched last year in Europe and a week ago on AT&T. The 8130 launched on Verizon and Sprint in Q4 last year. All of these had video recording functionality. So just because it wasn't on the 8100 doesn't mean that video recording will be new as of next month.

I had a way better signal with my 8800 than i ever have with my 8320. But, I did like the curve's keyboard better than the bunched up keys on the 8800. That said, I will probably still buy an 8820 when it comes out because of the better radio. I actually liked the 8800, so Im assuming the 8820 has the same radio.
