i originally got the touch and really did not like it. yeah its faster but the lack of actual keys really bugged me. it was smaller than the 6800, but that really isnt a big deal. i think i definitely chose the right phone with the 6800. i guess if you dont plan on typing out texts or emails a lot than consider the touch more, but i hated trying to type on the touch.
oh yeah, gps is now available on the 6800 and is awesome. just go to htc.com/us and get the new alltel 6800 rom then go here
