I had the i760 for two weeks+ and just went to VZ to compare to the 6800 cause I was thinking about switching, and now I'm not so sure. My i760 looks nicer, feels nicer, feels sturdier, better slide feel, extra keypad, etc...
The 6800 has it's pluses though, ROM updates, Evdo Rev. A, Ir port, USB, 2mpx camera, scroll wheel.

Seriously though, compared to my i760, the 6800 felt more like a toy than a phone. The slider sounds like plastic against plastic, the blue surround color, the buttons all feel like cheap plastic. Look and feel does not even compare, IMO. The i760 feels professional, the 6800 feels cheap. And yet the 6800 is more expensive. Also the keyboard on the i760 is better. The keys are separate and you can easily tell when you are rubbing over a new key. On the 6800, all the keys are part of one big pad, and not really individual buttons like the i760.

I am still debating whether to switch, and will keep looking for more suggestions around these forums. I don't need Rev. A, I'm not even in a compatible city, I don't use Ir, I don't care about proprietary plug, and I'm not that big on taking pics from a phone anyway. And I'm not geeky enough to care about changing ROMs.
I have my problems with the i760 as well, mainly, the crappy position of the disconnect key, which I've already accidentally hung up on 3 or 4 people cause it is right where I want to put my fingers, in left or right hand holding.

Good luck though!
