You could also try CNET reviews @: http://reviews.cnet.com/?tag=hd_ts I honestly couldn't give you more information than they have at this site. All of the hardware is professionally reviewed and ranked at this site accordingly. Hope that helps

I have the Sprint version of the 6800 (The Mogul) and I love it. I like my Q, but the 6800 is a great phone. I have a 4GB MicroSDHC card and it works too!
Thats very similar to Q or 6700.... I love my 6800, but it would be a horrible phone for someone that just wants to make calls and have a few little extra apps. If you're a power user (lots of surfing, remote desktop, telnet, other forms of remote server administration), go for the 6800... otherwise the Q9m might fit the bill nicely! I loved my Q, but the power/value of the 6800 was too much to pass up.
I currently own a Q Black and PPC 6700 (Sprint verson). I've had the PPC 6700 for a close to 2 years now and just recently got my Q. I must admit that the 6700 was a sight to behold at first. But then again, everything loses it's luster after a while. Stick with the Q!
I'm looking into getting the 6800. I can't stand browsing the web on the Q. I guess I just really miss a touchscreen. The biggest con with the 6800 in my mind is the size.
That's definitely true. The number one reason why I still pick my Q over my 6700 is due to form factor. After carrying around a monster brick sized cell phone for a year, the Q definitely realize the "cool" factor. Granted there are some benefits of having a touchscreen, I've managed to live without it on my Q. You will still turn heads with either phone, but I just love the overall size and wight of the Q. Smaller is definitely better.
Here's my thing.....if money is not a factor for you.....then just get the 6800. My job payed for my 6700 and as well as all the phone bills. My Q is my personal phone and I just could not see myself buying a phone over $400.
Depends on what you want. Do you want touchscreen or will non touchscreen be fine?
Do you want a slider or non slider? etc.
I have been using my Q for about 8 months. I love the size, but if you are looking for apps usage, I just bought the Verizon 6800 and I absolutely love it. I still love the Q for for the apps I am looking for run, I am going with the 6800. It is still actually quite comfortable in my pocket. Just a bit heavier. Mobile 6.0 is a big upgrade as well
I saw the 6800 back in sept before it was released. I love the form factor of the q9m and call quality. I don't like slide out keyboards, plus the q does almost as much for a lot less. However, the 6800 does have a touchscreen and wm 6 pro.
