"Only For the Hardcore Power users; Whiners need NOT Apply"
Pros: Cool look. fast data transfer and good call quality
Cons: Wish it would've come out sooner
Summary: For those confused on wheather to buy the Samsung i760 or the XV6800, You can breath now. The XV is much faster and less chunky. It has more style, while th i760 is more like a brick with a stylus.
When accessing the camera the i760 takes longer to find memory to load while the XV responds quickly. Not to mension it is a 2 megapixel camera vs. the i760's 1.3 megapixels.
The keyboard is much more comfortable w/ large keys and it has a d-pad in the keyboard instead of having to reach up and use the d-pad not built in the querty keyboard of the i760.
The Xv6800 has 256MB ROM, whereas the i760 only has a measly 128.
The XV has a powerful standard battery. Seems to me that Samsung had to throw in an extended battery to compensate for a "gas guzzler."
NO PROPRIETARY INPUTS!! The XV6800 has mini usb good for sync and charging at the same time.
Other helpful features include the infared, wifi switch, scroll wheel, and dedicated internet, emal, windows keys all on the front of the device.
The XV6800 is smarter, faster and stronger than the i760 or most smartphone pda devices. All Treos are not worthy!

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Most of the time when we talk about using devices, if someone "doesn't get" how to use something, they instantly write it a bad review. 99% of the reviews that I have seen are poor because people don't know what they're doing. Thank you for an appropriate title and even a reason to make sure we read it. Good review and having used mine, I agree with each point you make!
