Amazing device but not worth the upgrade from the 650 unless you have too much money. If so, then go for it. =) Still needs some tweaking but a very powerful, impressive device. I know there are tons of reviews popping up but if anybody has any questions I'll be more than happy to answer them.

Highlight thus far: someone called me while i was on the phone, i hit ignore with text and it automatically sent a text message to the person i ignored saying "sorry, on the phone...will call you soon." I then googled a movie time from the today screen WHILE on the phone instantly using verizon's EV-DO. All with one hand. Amazing.

Oh, the one thing that is kinda tickin me off is that all these reviewers are knocking on the 700's 240x240 screen vs. the 650's 320x320. Yes, the 650 is a tad sharper. A TAD. Once you throw the brightness up and enable clear type on the 700, the screen looks pretty darn good and comparable if you ask me.

In my mind, if you own a PC, use Outlook, and live in a Verizon EV-DO area, there is no reason whatsoever to buy the 650.
