Great phone. The predictive text is the best I've ever used. The trick is to not look at the keyboard when you type. I originally viewed the lack of WiFi as a big negative, but so far I don't miss it. The phone just works great. If it turns out to be a durable, tough phone, then this could be my phone for the next year or two.

Great phone.

Only grief is my provider, Bell Canada, only has two colour options: Candy red or a deep purple. My only choice was the slightly more masculine deep purple (almost a deep blue) although I would have much preferred a black. It seems to me like Bell is really trying to market the 8130 to females and the more expensive 8830 to men.
