    I actually like the Bold's cover better. The leather cover on the Onyx seems more like an afterthought than anything. Maybe if I saw it in different textiles/colors like the aftermarket ones for the Bold, it might look better.

    CB had posted that it will have a leather back like the bold when released, I'm kind of hoping against that, I wasn't really a huge fan of the faux leather...I like the back of the Tour a lot better.

    There is a thread with the merlin having a leather back but as we all know this could change. It doesn't matter to me when I get one I am going to black it out anyway.

    RIM used to make really solid devices in the old days, I'm not sure why they quit. It's time for them to return to the high-quality build of the early years... just not as ugly plz!! LOL!

    Completely agree... I've been swapping the Bold with my iPhone and the battery door has brought me to the point where I CAN'T STAND using it anymore... Sick of using a piece of paper to make it feel sturdy, and sick of how easy it is to fall off when taking it out of your pocket the wrong way. I hope to god the Onyx has a solid battery door.
