I got a chance to use the 6800 all day today at work, and i must say.... its pretty slick.

LIKES:
-its quick once its up and running
-the keyboard "springs" out and "snaps" into place
-the feel of wm6 is nice, very smooth
-file navigation was smooth and crisp
-movies play quite well and the speaker is loud
-very responsive, rotation when sliding is FAST even if you jumble it up and down multiple times really fast
-has a few more customization options in the settings, nothing note'able however
-small, fits in my hand real nice like
-the keyboard feels awesome and is much nicer for quick txt messaging
-keyboard went back to white back lighting (at least on the model i had)
-for the stylus being on the bottom, it has a "snaP" in feature so it wont fall out, unsure if it will "un-snap" after heavy or prolonged use
-the new battery door, seems like it will stay on better than the 6700


DISKLIKES:
-to many freakin buttons
-the wifi switch (gay)
-nothing at all better regarding the OS than the current ROM kitchen aside from its slick look (reminds me of vista.... looks nice, but its just XP in a nice tuxedo)
-harder to keep in my hand, feels nice, but no antanae will take some getting used to
-to many freakin buttons
-the keyboard layout sucks. I know why they did it, but i miss having the numbers across the top
-the stylus... GOD does it suck, its one of those lame retractable ones
-the stylus going in from the bottom was lame, i kept tapping the top of the phone with it out of habit to put it away
-no headset jack without a stupid proprietary splitter, and even then its a freakin proprietary one
-micro SD slot being in the bottom, as if i havent lost enough cards....
-takes FOREVER to boot up


FINAL VERDICT:

meh....
