Travel Technology - Phone/Blackberry/Blackberry Connect keypad quality

I love the keypad on my BB 7700 series. The rest of it is pretty dated obviously, and it isnt the smallest thing around. How does the old BB keyboard compare to new devices such as the 8800, the curve or BB connect capable devices such as the Nokia E61i or others that have WCDMA and Wifi on them? Thanks for any comparisons.

I'll take the keyboard on my BB Curve and Pearl anytime over the old BBs.

I'll second the Curve keyboard. I loved my old 7100t but the Pearl is very similar. I've got big fingers and all three are easy to use.

I have an 8800, and I like the look of the keyboard, but my wife's Curve actually has a better keyboard feel, and I will probably upgrade to the Curve next time I have the opportunity (I'm waiting for a Curve with GPS). The 8800 keyboard seems to have been made to look nice and be difficult for people with bigger thumbs.
