Than I started surfing the net, slow downs and it froze on me. I haven't froze the 700wx in a long time. Really the 700wx never freezes the only time that it has is if I am ruining some software that is a beta or not made for the Treo. I miss some things about the 6700 but there is on way I can go back and be satisfied. The only way that I can explain it is that the 700wx just works better. If you have time and want a fun PPC to play with and experiment with that has all the power you need go 6700. If you need a PPC that works smooth and gets the job done flawlessly go 700wx.

Everyday i'm leaning more and more towards the 6700, but when I read about the poor battery life, I get pushed towards the 700wx. Is the battery life really that poor? I currently have an LG Fusic and this phone has pretty good battery life.
I really don't care about the size, but little things on the 6700 like the bigger screen, better keypad (i have big fingers and when i tested the Treo's keypad in the store, it felt cumbersome to use), and camera flash make me want the 6700 more.
Also, in the store the 6700 felt a bit faster than the 700wx which was quite odd. I know display phones usually get hammered, but there were no programs running on either phones.
Another thing is that there is a girl who sits near me in class and she has the vx6700. I have a feeling that if I get the 700wx, i'm going to walk into class and see her vx6700, i'm going to have buyers remorse and wish I got the 6700. I know the vx6700 is with Verizon, but they're the same phone.
I never knew choosing a PPC would be this hard. Maybe i'm just making this hard myself.
