However, for normal or diehard BB users, setting it up will be no problem, and you will only have to get used to the typing on a touchscreen (some will pick this up quicker than others), but it is still very much your standard BB, just with a lot of new kewl features |

My dad had an order in before they were released and they are telling him he will get it on the 8th. dumwaldo, I had a corporate order in prior to release, and it was suppose to come the 22nd via overnight Fedex, and was delayed a couple of days. I sort of "bitched" to the rep (not bad, just told her I was disappointed & could have bought it in the store) - Corporate pre-orders were suppose to be 1st priority.
Now, according to my "pre receipt", she reduced the cost of the phone down to $149 (no rebate) and threw in the BB silicon sleeve/case for free Remember, the phone is actually $249 with a 2 yr contract + $50 rebate, making it the $199 as advertised.
I"ll have to wait to the "official" bill arrives, but the pre-bill receipt showed the reduction and total. I'll see  |

You may want to upgrade your dad's phone, or it may come with the new OS. Either way, please note  |
