    Just purchased 9700 finding keyboard backlight to be dim compared to 9630.
    Anybody else notice that?

    I'm Taking test drive with T-mobile.

    so far,

    Device is sweet!
    CS hmm pretty sad compared to Sprint.
    TM 3G coverage maps a lie.
    40.00 more a month.

    hmm needless to say I'm not leaving Sprint lol

    Yeah I went to their store to check out HTC H2 size seeing that EVO is the same.
    20 min later I walked out with 9700 lol

    When it comes to EVO size I'm taking a pass..its just to big looks like I will be stuck with 9630 clone -9650

    Ya they have improved greatly.
    Ive been with them for 6 years ,The first 4 were pretty CS ruff.
    The last 2 have been outstanding- excellent cs ,coverage and price.

    Nobody can beat Sprints prices imho. I had TMO for a long time and now I'm paying only 38$ per month with Sprint with a couple discounts I have, not to mention the service is much better.

    Yeah the 9700 keyboard is a lot dimmer. I compared it to my wife's Tour at the time and was shocked at how muchbrighter the keyboard was. Now I have a Tour lol.

    i was surprised how much dimmer the keyboard is on the 9700 compared to the Tour when I first compared the phones.

    wonder why the difference though?

    Im thinking keyboard has darker plastic..kind of green tint thus light doesn't brighten up keys as much.
    Ive gotten replacement keyboards for 9630s that had same dull light effect.

    Today I noticed E key was darker then rest..very blurry when light shined through so i returned getting replacement.
    The replacement was a little brighter but left side keyboard was raised above bezel not flush very shabby build f,sure.
    Rim must be doing part swaps... referb keyboards on new builds.Its done by all smartphone company's HTC , Moto etc.
    Ive never seen one look as bad as my brand new replacement though.
