8525 VERSUS 1730

Its quite easy: 8525 provides the following over the i730:

Better voice quality....a lot better
Rock solid stability....no lockups, hangups, etc and soft reset once
and the phone is ok. With the i730, I usually had to soft reset 2-4
times b4 the phone would boot properly
With xcpusclaler, lock the processor at 500, then its just as fast as
the i730.
The horizontal keyboard is a breeze to use. I do miss the slider
function of answering, etc though.
The smart dialer, but not sure if I can get used to this system. Will
probably load voice command as long as I can use one button to
activate it-and the same with bluetooth.
The scroll wheel makes one handed operation even easier.
CAMERA! CAMERA! CAMERA! Wow, I really did miss that!
Jack for external antenna. Wow, haven't tried it, but at least its
available.
And since its with Cingular, better plans that cost less, cheaper data plans, and of course rollover minutes. Now I am not a fan of PTT, but at least that should be available soon as well. 8525 wins hands down!!!
