It's funny to see that there are a lot of jaded former i730 owners out there. I owned the i730 and thought I wanted the i760, but at the last minute, I decided I wanted to keep it simple and went with the Blackjack 2 from AT&T. It's been fantastic. I love the simplicity of the Windows Mobile Standard OS. Unlike Professional, it's not trying to cram an entire computer into a device the size of a deck of cards. I tried the 6800 in the Verizon store the other day and hated it compared with the BJ2. The 6800 actually felt much slower and clunkier because it's loaded up with so much functionality. People seem to be happy with the i760, but I truly think that one of the advantages of the 5800 is that it has the nice & simple Windows Mobile Standard edition OS. I haven't had a chance to use the 5800 yet, but becuase of it running Standard and having the great layout on the face of the phone, I think people who are looking for phone first/pda 2nd will love the 5800. In other words, don't dismiss it simply because it isn't the professional version.
