Newer ... smaller isn't always better!
Although this particular BlackBerry model is becoming hard-to-find, there are good reasons to choose the 8703 over newer, cuter, smaller models. Basically, why have a BlackBerry if typing is a total hassle? The newer models shrink the keys even smaller, making typing anything more than a brief note painfully arduous. With the 8703, typing even long e-mails is pretty easy. Downside, of course, is that it's a bit bulkier than newer models ... but how much do a few ounces really matter anyway? Do buy an extra battery, though... if this is your first BlackBerry, know that battery life is significantly more limited than with a "traditional" cellphone because the BB is constantly transmitting data.
