I'd sell the 6800, so I could buy the Touch.

I'm also thinking about going to Sprint with SERO.

I was reading up on it, and its a shame that other people don't follow.

I get 20% off my bill with Verizon, but still wont come close to $30 a month like Sprint.

It sounds like a win win situation... so why isn't everybody else doing it?

how much you selling that xv6800 for? and plus i got the unlimited everything plan so i don't have to deal with overages. i'm a 2k+ texter, i use about 6000 minutes a month (long talks with my girl, friends and fam), and i use almost 3,000,000 kbs of data every month. the beauty of it is that there's no overages at all, and all at 1 flat rate.

dude i love it, i miss the 6800, but this phone rocks in every way. im used to the keyboard, and in fact, i cant find one flaw with this phone, honestly i have NO ISSUES with it.

its fast, stable, highly customizable because of no memory issues, and so small and sleek

Check my math for me, please.

6000 minutes per month divided by 31 days per month equals
193.5 minutes per day divided by 60 minutes per hour equals
3 hours and 13 minutes of talking per day

Is that right? Are you serious?

I'll chime in also, the touch is indeed awesome. the lack of keyboard is somewhat an issue, however there are a ton of third party keyboards to make up for it. I like Touchpal by cooltek. but the size of the phone is insane it's smaller than you think it will be, and still very good feeling. it's almost the same size as a folded razor.

the keyboard that comes on the touch is actually good. i use touchpal, i can bang out texts even faster than i could on my mogul

At first glance, this would seem to be hard to believe, but I can see how it would be the case.

When I signed up for SERO and ordered my phone, the idea of sliding out a keyboard (Mogul) seemed inconsequential, so that is what I purchased. Unfortunately, once I had the Mogul in-hand and I had to do it, I found myself (more and more) just deciding to forget sliding out the keyboard and going with on-screen text entry ... and this is with a stylus. It still seemed to be overall quicker than:
a) slide out keyboard
b) wait for screen shift
c) regain visual/mental context

It sounds cumbersome, because for me, it is.

Shipping tracking says the phone (Touch) was delivered. I want to leave work early so I can get home and start the transition process.
