Verizon is finally going to start carrying the Touch.

I right now, have the XV6800. (LOW MEMORY EVERY 10 SECONDS)

What are going to be the major difference between the two?

I know the obvious, form factor, no keyboard, no wifi, etc.

But what are some other things, that users who had both have seen for better or for worse?

Thanks.

if you get the touch, save the 6800 in case you go nuts without a REAL keyboard. this saves you money before you think about selling it or whenever you decide to comeback to it.

Expect very few hardware keys. So with games, you'll have more issues imo.

Other than that expect a small device, lots of ram. Battery life is pretty close with both...

@blasphemus_prime how's that ram working out for you? More people have switched from Mogul > touch, than Touch > Mogul... Go troll somewhere else.

I hear ya man.

Thats the only thing that is going to scare me is the keyboard.

But with anything else, I'd adjust.

i'll also say the more the merrier. that way you can switch between both on occasion.

you'll probably forget you have a stylus because you almost never need it with the touch. I would recommend getting one of the custom cube's some people on here have created, because the stock one doesnt have many programs packed in so for me it wasnt all that useful until I had all my programs on some portion of the cube. I use the iCube personally, and haven't had a single issue with it.
