Re: Why the i760 over the XV6800?

Some of my thoughts.

This was a nice feature.

3. External Keypad. Makes it a bit easier for quick dialing numbers, once in landscape the keypad becomes the primary number pad, so you don't have to hit FN to type a digit.

This was a large selling point for me with larger fingers.

6. Battery. Came with both the Extended and Standard battery.

The extended lasted me 2-3 days. I switched back to the standard just to make the phone smaller in my pocket.

7. Design. Wasn't impressed with the xv6800's design, this one has a more sleek, and I think a more professional design. The keyboard on the xv6800 has a straight, soft-key layout, and I was more used to the "Smile" layout of the Treo, so I didn't like it. The i760 has harder rounded ind keys, so you know you hit the button. As for the face of the xv6800, I did like the extra hardware buttons, but the d-pad was raised a bit over the soft keys with a somewhat sharp edge.

I agree. I just wasn't crazy about the look & layout of the XV6800.
