One has GPS, and the 7150 may have VGA and a faster processor, otherwise they are all very similar. Similar in size. Similar in memory. Similar in processors. Similar in screen size. I'm not so sure CRUSH is a valid term here.

Vaproware? You mean like the 6800??
Alright, we'll factor out the Imate.
Anyway, the M700 and Kaiser both have GPS. PPC-6700 doesn't.
Kaiser has secondary camera for teleconferencing. PPC-6800 doesn't.
Kaiser's main camera is 2.8 MP while PPC-6800 is 1.9 MP.
PPC-6800 has 256 MB ROM which is superior to M700, but only has 64 MB RAM. Kaiser has 128 MB RAM.
In reality, the M700 seems to be somewhat comparable device to the 6800, I'll grant you that. I do know that the one I had for a short time was very buggy with the OEM WM6 upgrade. Of course, our 6700s where buggy, too. That's why everybody is cooking ROMs for them!
It seems to me that the HTC Kaiser, based on the facts, is a superior phone and does indeed CRUSH the 6800.
I don't want to start a flame war here, but I was a happy 6700 owner (thanks to Colonel) but was let down by Sprint and their lackluster support. Then came the delays to the 6800, and I decided to do some research. What I learned was, there were equivilant and superior devices already available, but the tradeoff is switching to GSM
For me, it came down to a decision: Stick with Sprint and wait for the compromise-laden 6800, or switch carriers and get a phone with all the features I really wanted. For me, it's about the device, so I chose the latter. You may choose differently, and that's cool. It's what makes the world go around! But please don't tell me that the 6800 is the end-all, be-all, because it's not.
For the record, my short term solution was to pick up and HTC Trinity. I'm looking forward to comparing notes with many of you soon-to-be 6800 owners. Now there's a good comparison!
