OK, I'll start this one off and welcome to the forum. The 6700 is a PPC (has a touchcreen) while the Moto Q is a smartphone (no touchscreen). That is a difference. So, should you desire, you can make the 6700 more iPhone-like with the TouchFLO or Touch Commander. You already noticed the bigger keyboard for texting. Alot of modding capabilities with the WM6/6.1 kitchens. We like the phone and I'm sure you'll get alot more responses.

I guess to take the bad with the good, battery life is not good with the PPC relative to a regular phone. You really can't turn the 6700 completely off. Idk about the Moto...

PPCs are MUCH MUCH harder to use then smartphones, i once saw an artical that said the ppc was the "big brother" to the smartphone completely different phones even though same os

Agreed, Ill take a PPC over a Smartphone anyday. Keep in mind the iPhone is also a Smartphone and thats why the PPC can do so much more.

Yep. Bad arguement to try and say that Moto Q is better. Check out my demo on the 6700, the link is in my signature.

The iPhone is not awsome. It LOOKS awsome. Anyhow. You can use Alltell phones on Verizon but I don't know about using VZW on Alltell.
