Need your advice with which phone to get.... :)

Guys,
I need your honest opinion.....
2 weeks ago I bought a PPC-6700 (Sprint website) and signed a 2 year contract with Sprint.... I love the PPC-6700 and do a TON of tethering with it.... However someone told me that they just came out with the Palm Treo 700wx (Multimedia Phone). The ROM on my PPC-6700 is from early 2006....

I still have 15 days to exchange my PPC-6700 for the Treo....
Should I do it????? I used to have a Treo 650 and I had TONS of issues with the Screen.... the darn screen buttons would never push.... and I couldn't make phone calls.... BUT the same guy told me that they fixed a lot of issue with the Treo 700 and I should have bought that.... the price is almost the same.... Should I exchange it????
Is Treo good for tethering?
What do you guys think?
Gracias....

I have had both the 6700 and the 700wx, when I got my 700wx I kept my 6700 around for testing. After 90 days with my Treo I am going back to the 6700. IMHO the 6700 is the powerhouse PPC of those available from Sprint. When I was using the 700wx the things I missed most from my 6700 was, WIFI, real bluetooth where I can use MSVC, music over bluetooth, flexibility of the OS, ease of qwerty keyboard use, and size of the display. The things I will miss most from the 700wx battery life, and some if the OEM programming. Just so you know I kept my 6700 but I am going to get rid of my 700wx. The 700wx is a very good smart phone but if you are looking for flexibility, expansiveness, and a all around PPC go with the 6700. Of course this is IMHO.

Stick with the 6700. I was in the same boat as you before I choose the 6700 and I am glad that I picked the 6700. And with the AKU 3.3, this baby is much much better than the treo.
