Default HELP! Samsung i730 or Audiovox XV6600?

I've stayed out of the fast-paced world of new Pocket PCs and new Windows Mobile OS versions for the last 2+ years since I've still got my trusty Jornada 568. So I'm very out-of-touch with the latest offerings, OS versions, flaws and hiccups with the various newer products and offerings and need your help!

I'm looking to get onto a Verizon plan at a good corporate rate and I'm trying to decide which phone is better - and what additional pro's and con's I need to worry about when deciding between the i730 and the XV6600.

Price aside, I don't know the difference between Windows Mobile 2003 (on the XV6600) and the Second Edition that supposedly comes installed on the i730 - and which is better. I don't know how the screens, the (Windows OS) upgrade process, the optional accessories and such compare with each other, so I was hoping those of you who have kept up-to-speed on the latest offerings can help me know if the i730 is the better choice.

If it helps, I plan to use this phone to replace my trusty Jornada so I can start using online features to view traffic cams and access online information (news, movie times/locations, etc.) and double as a data modem connected to my laptop when traveling along the west coast (I don't need international coverage). I don't need camera MP3 player functionality.

Can you help guide/warn/instruct this used-to-be wise Pocket PC guru whose knowledge is now outdated for these newer offerings?
