Check out www.aximsite.com for more discussions of the differences than you can shake a stick at. Note that TelCanto on an x50V will not really make use of the 640x480 anyway, but the 320x240 view you get is really sharp. Many applications are this way.
On speed, as long as you're only going to use it for Telcanto and even typical PDA stuff, you probably don't need a real fast CPU. I'll tell you though, the sharpness of my x50v screen really amazes people with its readability.
