I see HP haven't got their clue back yet... :roll:

How is g more power hungry than b? They are on the same gigahertz range. Granted, I'm really not an expert on that, but I'd think they'd be the same power. |
That's a good point. I'm sure I remember it being pointed out as more power hungry around about the time it was ratified - but now I think about it I can't say it for certain so I may well be mistaken.

I do agree about 480x480 - EXCEPT that I can attest to the fact that high res screens SUCK power like anything, so I guess that's why. I also wish the unit had a higher battery rating, but again - its a compromise in that it would require a bigger unit.

I couldn't leave behind VGA having experienced it - but for the right specs could be persuaded to go for 480 x 480. 240 x 240, however, is a huge leap backwards - worse even than QVGA. I can hear Treo 650 users giggling from here - and I don't blame them...!

Frankly, the 6700 is the ONLY unit I've ever seen that makes me not care so much about VGA.

For me the unit has too many major strikes against it - very low res screen, small battery (for a triple wireless device), mini-SD slot only - and the 6500 as its origin (sure - companies produce great products and poor products - but this is the 6500 with small changes, a PPC phone so bad phone companies didn't want to sell it...!)
Compare the HTC Wizard/Apache, or the Magician, or the WM Treo 670 (if genuine) - they all make the 6700 look, frankly, a bit rubbish - with the 6700 offering only a gimmick (802.11g) to get people to ignore how poorly specc'ed it is in every other respect (and to wipe the 6500 disaster from peopl's minds).
JMHO mind...!
