I'm of mixed minds on this. Since I've updated my hx4700 to WM6.1, there isn't any difference in OS functionality. There are a few things the 200 has over the hx4700 though:
* 802.11g (vs b) -- 54Mb/s is much nicer than 11.
* SDHC (vs SD only) -- allowing you to use 8GB and higher SDHC cards.
* standard USB connection -- You don't have to use that weird dongle thingy to charge the beasty and you can buy a sync/charge replacement cable virtually anywhere.
* standard directional/action buttons (instead of the touchpad) -- The hx4700 touchpad was an innovative idea, but it's just kinda difficult to use in practice, especially touching the center to get the action button.
* (slightly) improved processor -- the 200 will get better battery life and a bit better performance. It's not shockingly so; just a little better.
On the other hand, the hx4700 (in my opinion) is a little more aesthetically pleasing and (due to the magnesium shell) feels a bit more sturdy.
