Other than having a lot more storage, I'd say that it's a marginal improvement at best: Slightly smaller (but not that much), screen a little better (but not on knock-your-socks-off, like the iPhone v. 6700). The accelerometer is cool, but it doesn't work in enough programs to be a real selling point.
Right now, all I'm seeing apart from that is LESS functionality: No YouTube, no ICS, no IR, not as many hard buttons, odd keyboard, no audio jack, etc. Many of those things can be fixed with add-ons, custom ROMs, and just getting accustomed to doing things differently, but it's frustrating.
Here's hoping, though. I'm not ready to give up on it yet.

Wow. Its been so long since I had a 6700. I do think this is a just a "bit" better than a 6700. IMHO This is the best phone from the series. I startred at the 6700 and worked up to this.
I hated on this phone at first. Big time. I was very disappointed too. I actually have a hate thread going on too that I am trying to kill. It felt good to vent this phones shortcomings. Now that I am done botching I am finding ways to make the phone snappier. I got mine running great now. Still not as fast as my Vogue but I can tell that with a Custom ROM this phone will be incredible. Just from me going in and shutting off a lot of VZW garbage the phone responds great.
Here is a great thread if you have not read it already. Doing stuff in here will certainly work as advertised. It did for me.

Either way, good luck guys. Once you anger subsides you will start seeing that this is a really a good phone in an ugly package right now. Once we get the package open you will see the beauty. Yeah, we don't have a terabyte of RAM like the sprint version, but this will be a smoking phone once unlocked. I will guarantee it.
