I know this is more than a little bit off the subject, but I figured I should mention it as soon as possible: AT&T just made the official 4.5 handset release available for the 8800, so you can now upgrade fully legitimately. As you may recall, they made the 4.5 available for the 8820 (and 8320) some two months ago, but there are many of us out there with 8800s, and we now got the goods too and can upgrade as of today. Just go to www.blackberry.com/upgrades using Internet Explorer (only supported browser; yes I know that's lame) and it's pretty much automatic, albeit slow. Takes between 1 hour and 1.5 hours in my experience, especially if you have close to 40,000 address book and calendar records.
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"
