"HTC builds subquality products however as I have read in the forums of HTC devices things like the handset was not built to be used for phone calls apart from a headset."

I have both an i730 and an HTC 8525. The build quality is about the same. The backplate of the 8525 is a little flimsy but I've never known anyone to have it come off. In addition (although this may not be about hardware, but software) I rarely softboot my 8525 (about once per month), but have to do so regularly (ie daily) with my three i730s (with the same programs installed, and yes I've tried hardbooting). Thats one of my concerns with the i760, is that I need something reliable. I think what I am going to do is wait a month after release and see how reliable the device is, then decide if I am getting a kaiser or i760.

Both the i760 and kaiser are landscape.

edit: another thing holding me back is the lack of a scroll wheel, which I find very helpful (I rarely have to use the stylus with this). So for me it is either front numeric keypad or a scrollwheel. I want both
