I really do like the minor form-factor changes on the 750v. It looks like it will be even easier to hold and use. I've been playing with a 700wx lately and that already fits very nicely in my hand. However, I still can't get used to the lower resolution screen, it's really noticeable to me both in Internet browsing and e-mail, 2 primary functions that I count on from my device.

I've also started playing with the Hermes, and it is really a fantastic device, with a great screen and fast response. However, no UMTS in my area yet, and I do miss the keyboard/number keys being exposed on the front of the unit. It is much easier to quickly look up a contact on the treo because I can just start typing with one hand. With the Hermes, I've got to use both hands and then slide the keyboard out, or fight with the tiny toothpick provided that HTC thinks is a stylus. :roll:

I think that both are very good, but neither is perfect for me. The Dash sounds like a very promising compromise, but doesn't offer 3G, so that probably won't be "the" device for me either. Here's hoping someday Palm decides to branch out and try something different than the square screen Treos. With a few tweaks they would have a killer deviced.
