I'm coming from a Treo 700w, then 700wx. If you hang out in Treo forums, you know it is no perfect. But after just one day with the 6800, I've discovered it's pretty sweet how they have it configured.
On the 700wx, you can be sending and email, or txt message, or making a call in about 3 seconds. All with just my thumb. Type a few chars of the name, it pops up in the home screen, hold the middle button down over the contact and a little pop up window comes up and i select, email, call or txt. Bam, that's it.
With this 6800, I can't find a super fast way to do it.. I don't think there is. I never really realized how super sweet the Treo had it setup until I stopped using it.
I'm hoping with the front keypad, the i760 will allow me to kick off things like calls, txt messages, email, real quick maybe not as fast as the Treo, but pretty quick anyway. Since I support dozens and dozens of these devices, I don't want to move to something that is much harder to do basic things like make a phone call.
Not sure if anybody who has used a i760 can chime in on that or not?

I've got some 3rd-party apps that clean things up a great deal, but I think it is the software and not the hardware that makes it hard to jump around.
(For the Mogul at least, from the Today screen, start typing a name and it will come up in the phone app, where pressing that hard "Call" button, select button, or double clicking calls the contact. Holding the select button or click-and-hold via touchscreen on the name you want and it gives you all the options (call home/work/cell/different emails/text message) hope that helps, but you should check out the Mogul forums for anymore info)
