I am looking to upgrade to a new phone with verizon. I may have narrowed it down to the motorola ben q or the x6700. Is there a phone that is better out that. Does the xv6700 have the largest screen or is the samsung have a larger screen. I can't tell. I like the wifi and the full on key board or should I wait for something new. I have till Mid Jan early feb which is when the ben q comes out and the 6700 will have been out.

How about the Treo 700w ? I have the 650 version (T-Mobile) and love it. The 700w is runnig Windows Mobile. Verizon plans to release it any day now.

I just got the Sprint version. Love it. Thankfully it isnt black.

Missing Sync hasnt been updated for Windows Mobile 5 yet, so there's no syncing, but Bluetooth file transfer works great and BLuetooth access to Sprints high-speed data network works great. Hopefully someone will develop a Mac USB driver soon so I can get the full 1-2 mbit speed on my Powerbook.

Definitely go to HoFo, sift through the crap and your questions will be answered.

phonescoop.com is great for info on specs too.

I do like those forums but I want a osx family perspective. Will there be apps besides the 3rd party one for it. I was really hopping for isync to working with it.
