"wait for the 8820"
Pros: form factor, sleek, slim
Cons: no wifi, no 3G, awkward handling
Summary: if you have an 8700c this may be quite a change in form but other than the word "new" nothing could keep this phone at my hip. the keys felt slippery and not as solid as the pearl's (although i do prefer qwerty), it is awkwardly wide, tall and heavy. i had no problem with call quality as that was definitely better than the 8700 but not better than the pearl. with the news of the 8820 being released mid year with 3G and wifi i decided to return the 8800 and shell out the high price at a later date for the bells and whistles. in a nutshell, side by side with the 8700 it wasn't worth the $$$. i also got the feeling that the 8800 was rushed because the startup screen was the same as the 8700 not the new pearl startup and there was not sign of at&t branding. i did see many people flock to the 8800 but most of them were first time blackberry users with questions about how to enter contacts, etc. i was hoping for a love affair with this model but instead i felt cheated on.

Doing a quick google search for the 8820 produces a number of articles claiming it will have Wi-Fi, but it still seems to be GPRS/EDGE.
