700wx Owner looking to upgrade to 800wx

[Kamzilla]

I went from the 700WX as well, and have mixed feelings about the 800. First off, I'm about to be on my third one - the first was had horrible call quality, the second's rinder would work only when the sun, moon, and stars were in perfect alignment, and the third caught the blue screen of death. While I'm waiting for a third replacement to come in, I'm using my 700WX. WHile it's slower, doesn't have GPS and WiFi, and the screen quality isn't as good, I feel like the leap between the two isn't all that major. THe 800 feels like an upgrade of the 700, but not much else. For me, it lost the wow factor really quickly, and I'm already thinking about asking Sprint to switch me to the HTC Touch Pro. With the 700, I didn't feel ready to switch until way later.

Batterywise, the 700WX wins hands down. WIth push mail, texts, and calls throughout the day, my 700 lasted at least two days. The 800 has to be charged each night. Call quality sounds muffled too. The 800 feels better built, but for a phone that took so long to bring to market, it shouldn't have so many shortcomings, IMHO.

Haven't had the backlight issue, but wondering what will go wrong with phone #3....
