I can! I've had one in my hands for a week and a half and there is -nothing marginal in its upgrade, including:
-30% thinner
-spring loaded keyboard with rubber texture for easier use
-indicator lights for function and caplock
-256mb ROM double that of the 6700
-dual core processor
- REV A compatible
-scroll wheel
-more buttons on face and sides. Combined with the scroll wheel,one-handed use is greatly improved
-bigger battery
-better battery life
-removal of obtrusive antenna
-better brighter screen
-better 2mp camera with improved software and settings
-Dpad...much improved over the joystick
-AKU 3.3 which brings with it A2DP among other things
Once you hold one in your hand and realize firsthand what it is like to use it, you'll see it is easily worth the upgrade. The 6700 to me now is a big fat brick that is nowhere near as easy to use, or as effective. You will NOT find many devices on the GSM side that are much more capable than this, or any more an upgrade over existing devices. some have GPS, but that's about it.
