Verizon users: why the XV6800 over the i760?

oh - good point on the camera.. another plus. (spec wise...)however, i'm not so sure..
this is by and far the absolutle worst piece of garbage camera on a phone i have ever witnessed. 2MP doesn't mean crap, if the pics come out looking like dog vomit. that is the single most disappointing thing about my 6800 is the camera..
The Samsung Juke (verizon) takes better pics than this, and it's only a VGA camera.......

yeah, I'm thinking right now the main thing is WAAAAAAY too much noise. I need to mess around with the settings and registry to see what there is to change. I did find a sharpness setting in the registry, but haven't tested the results of my tinkering too much. Then I probably should work on autofocus

Yeah, agree on the camera. I can't get a descent pic without a tripod!
(sorta defeats the purpose of a great mini laptop that rides on my hip)

Seems like the shutter speed is tooo slow?
What is the sharpness setting you tried?
Is there any other fixes for the camera that anyone knows?
