Her Mac Pro review was amazingly less informative than that. "Uhm it has a cool look to it...um..like what"?? While I overall like listening to their input (mostly people who have been there longer..that dood..james kim is it?) I agree that they have quite a few people, especially the newer ones, reviewing stuff that dont know about it and dont give as helpful info as they could. They also don't seem to know the difference between a smartphone and Pocket PC vs Pocket PC Phone Edition, but oh well. It lead me to the i730, and hopefull at some point the Archo AV 500 or 700..and for that Im grateful. I agree as well that you should have done the review though.

Hey Dominick_7 - one quick note... I liked James Kim too. He was my favorite editor over at CNET. He had the best tech reviews. It's a shame he's no longer with us. Rest in peace James.
With regards to the i730, I gotta say it is disappointing that after two years in action there is really NOTHING out there that dethrones the i730. Yes, there are phones that may have some advantages but for overall use the i730 still reigns supreme after TWO YEARS! Nothing has made me want to switch. On Verizon the options are the XV6700... please! It's good but clearly not as fast a processor nor ease of use, call quality. 700w is even slower with a square screen i could never get used to. The 8525 units are again, only incremental steps and nothing that warrants a switch.
And by the way, the new i760 (shown on engadget) that is coming out blows.... I'll keep my i730. __________________
"We don't need no stinkin' iphones!!!" I love my Touch Pro 2..... Bleeding edge previous devices include the Samsung i760, dirrrty i730, XV6600, Blackberry 7750, Audiovox Thera, and Ipaq 5550.
