O2 Blackberry 8700g

Got the new blackberry 8700g from O2 today. Been playing with it for a while now i think its brilliant. Nice quality screen and keypad. Have had the blackberry 7230 and 7290 and i think the 8700g is the best of the lot so far. Thank God Blackberry weren't shut down in the US. I'd be lost. Anyone else had a blackberry experience?

I've been thinking about getting one, but that would probably mean that I'd be offline even less than I am already and would end up answering emails in the middle of the night

Be warned you'll be hanging on every beep from the device. They're addictive once you try them. In the US users are called crackberries!

How much are they retailing for over here?

I bought mine from O2 and it cost me 469 euro although i bought it outright (no new contract) It costs with upgrade or first-time connection to O2 350-400 euro depending on which tarrif you go for or how good your upgrade level is.
