I had a choice with Verizon, between the Treo, Q, and the i760 and went with i760 because of the tethering ability, larger screen, and mostly because of the cool factor. The slide QWERTY keyboard is COOL (and bigger than either the Q or Treo and my fingers wouldn't fit them.) I'm out in the country and still haven't decided whether to give up the DirecWay internet. Will speed test today to make final decision.
