Not at all! It's actually another consideration in my mind -- I read threads saying the 8700 will get OS 4.2 "some day", but it seems to have been in beta forever. Do you see anything in 4.2 that you go "wow, if only 4.1/8700 had this.."? (maybe a better browser, etc.) Having only the Pearl I don't have the backhistory to make such a comaprison. :-/

8800 has a better battery life

You mentioned this before -- do you have some (non scientific is ok) numbers, like 3 days versus 5 days? I love the fact that this 8100 has *great* battery life compared to S60's, those things last like 2 days max. (even the tiny E50, I was charging it all the time).

In regard to the metal sides, maybe it will scratch, but it can't scratch more than the plastic parts, right?

You made me look.
It's hard to tell because of the black/finish, but I think it's micro-scratched up as well. Honestly the finish on the 8100 is a complete negative to me, I like the look of the 8700 (blue T-Mobile) better. But then again, I went into a Cingular store and played with the 8800 and liked that special blue finish they put on it, much better than the 8100 fingermagnet.
