Oh, did you mean that in a GOOD way? :)
Missing external storage, no compatibility w/existing software, and a
keyboard that comes out on the wrong axis are pretty strong negatives
for me. Bigger screen is a positive. Oh yeah, the fact that Sprint has
the exclusive for an unknown amount of time is also fairly pertinent
(Verizon here).
Oh well, at least I have my 700p. If nothing else, it will allow the
bugs to get aired before I can make a decision.
They could potentially have a winner.
I went into greater depth on my blog.

HEAR HEAR!!
I'd like nothing short of a Palm Desktop equivalent for linux THAT WORKS
WHEN YOU PLUG IT IN. None of the messing about with /dev/ttys0, cua or
:usb .
Heaven forbid, some sort of xfer app that will send an mp3 to the
storage card (the non-existent storage card, as it were).
