Can you elaborate? Why do you think it is bad? I like it (except for the screen).

Im coming from a 700wx,id of kept it but it freezes constntly. Time for a new pda anyway. the 760's screen flickers,so i imagine it will eventually fizzle out down the road,,,others said the same thing..the button layout is the worst ever,while talking me and others have accidently hung up on our calls becaus ethe end button is right where youd put your rhght thumb...while typing oin the keyboard when you hit the y or u you end up hitting the send key,,so you have to hit the ok key to get back to your msge.it also opens to the left which is really a pita and im rght handed like 80% of the world. the speaker phone is loud but tinny and echoeie,,the touchscreen is mushy,and to wake the screen up you have to hit a button on the top of the phon...
