What is the reason for prefering the Sprint over the Verizon? Is it just the chrom-ish back?

It's smaller in size, more RAM, different keyboard layout. Also, GPS is locked for vznavigator only and TouchFLO 3d disabled (you can turn it on though)

Looks better, much more RAM, smaller, open standalone GPS, etc.

I have confirmed that asurion will give the touch pro for the xv6800 on verizon. my question is that do you think they would give me the MUCH better sprint version?? And if they did how would I go about getting it on verizon network?

Never going to happen. I am hoping my 6800 won't go down cause I kinda don't want the TP from VZW.

Verizon has kinda crippled theirs. GPS doesn't work with program other than Verizon Navigator unless you work the thing like a loose prom date... I'm sure there are other reasons. (Owner of a VZ Touch Pro... happy wit hthe Touch Pro, but this one isn't as tight as I had hoped for...)
