Comparision: http://www.xv6900.com/Compare-the-XV6900-to-the-SMT5800-and-XV6800-Verizon-Phones
Having carried the VX6800 for almost two years now I don't see anything in the VX6900 that will keep my attention. Although heavier the VX6800 is by far the better of the two because just like the SMT5800 having the keyboard as an option is always a good thing. The phone being so light raises some suspicion and I guess not having Wi Fi helps on battery life. Maybe it's me but it doesn't feel like a "sturdy" device. Then again I had the Treo 700w prior to my XV6800 so maybe I'm used to these little bricks.
