What's your opinion in how these two devices will compare given the vast difference in the size? I really like the Q, but with <NOBR>GPShttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/1.gif</NOBR> (http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1265577#) is it going to suffer like the original BJ did?

Thoughts???

It's hard to know. I like the larger battery in the BlackJack II, but I imagine the built in GPS is going to add an extra suck on that battery. So I expect the larger size won't make much differnce. I hope that they have done some internal optimizations to help reduce the battery power required.

To me, the BJII seems like a better choice - I already have a pile of accessories that will work with it. I like the keyboard layout better, and from what I heard the Q9 has the same horrible battery life as the original.
