Got the 7230 today... Really nice... Only problem is that the backlight is NOT very good. It's acceptable considering battery life is a premium, but nowhere close to an IPAQ or other device. Guess that's what we get for a color Blackberry and good battery life.
Like the ability to choose other fonts... The display is really sharp and the screen coating provides for GREAT viewing in direct light or sunlight.

Hey, this is a fun dialog!
The backlight feature doesn't bother me because it is useful in true lowlight or nolight conditions. It is not useful if the room lighting is just plain dim, but that is a narrow range of conditions.
My Smartphone sucks battery juice and you can't read the screen in bright daylight, so I am happy with the compromise.
The size of the 7230 is also wonderful. It is so small. I don't feel comforble using the phone without the headset, though you can if you don't mind feeling dorky.
I'm on my third day without charging and using it all the time. 60% battery life left!
I also love the USB charging. This makes so much sense.
