700wx or PPC6800. What's your preference?

I posted this on the 700wx board, but it's not getting any responses. So I thought I'd drop it over here.

Right now I have the 700wx but I'm finding myself wanting to transition to the PPC6800. I bought one today and plan to play w/ it over the weekend before I activate it to see if it will be a better mousetrap.

However, I'd like to hear everyones opinion. Maybe some of you have already made the switch and can share some experienced pros & cons.

Some concerns:

* Signal Strength (does anyone notice a weaker signal on the 6800)
* Bluetooth compatability
* Battery life
* The longevity of the sliding keyboard
* Can the 6800 act as a phone-as-modem w/out having a PAM account (like the Treo)?

A few PROS I have already found:

* Integrated WIFI
* MUCH better camera
* ALOT more RAM
* WM6
* Larger screen

I REALLY like my Treo (since many of the great people here have provided hacks to make the WX actually a pleasure to use) and I have heard many of those hacks also work on the 6800.

Anyway, has anyone made the switch and regretted it??
