Are u still using the 8700/8707?

[popegiant]

it's good for me

I just picked up a belt case for mine.
Now, I need some advice.
How the heck do you shut off the keyboard so that the screen won't become activated while in the tight case? (thus, wasting the battery)

[Cracknstien]

I found my answer on how to lock the keyboard but is there a way to make it so when you push any keyboard button, the screen won't light up?

About 3 days ago I found one at a gargae sale for $2 that looked brand new. Not so much as a scratch on it. It charged up and turned on no problem. Just waiting on a sim from T-Mobile so I can play around with it. I dont care what anybody says these are still better than alot of phones out there.

I am using 8707v, os 4.2, and it is quite slow vs 4.1. I hope it could faster more as same as 4.5 in 8700

Yea man, I keep going back to the 8700g. Since '06, I've always been in love with the look and feel of the device. I've used the newer models, but this retro look is kind of pimp. Much respect to the Electron!

i just ordered one for 20 bucks and I can't wait to get it. it was my first "smartphone" and i fell in love! the only downside was it didn't have a camera but now most mp3 players have cameras on them so i'm good on that one.

i'm getting the phone to humble myself. i'm goin crazy trying to keep up with all these new phones. i'll just run with the 8700g for some time(might be a lonnnnnnnnng time) + plus my iPod touch and call it a wrap! =)

Can the iPod Touch be tethered to the 8700? If so, maybe there's a winning combo there.

I have used many bb devices as 88xx, bold, storm, ... But last come back 8700.
Some time limited funtions in this 8700 also let me think of others one bb, but every time use the new one, I can not forget the advance of using track weel, the advance speker and how easy with the key board, so 8700 back again. It happend atlest 3 times with me
Now I use an 8700att with BIS from vinaphone. As usual it not so covenience but could not be others

[TheScionicMan]

LOL, I can't believe people are still using these. I've got a bunch in a box. I need to eBay them...

Well I am happy to announce that after 3 months my garage sale 8700 works flawlessly. It's fun to tinker with and I enjoy the heft and feel of the phone. Best $2 purchase I have ever made
