Well first things first, the Moto A760 looks quite good but has; 1. No external memory expansion slot 2. No voice activated dialing 3. No predictive text (same as P800) 4. No built-in video recording fuction (same as P800) 5. No keypad (P800s can be removed/added when required) However it has got a 65k colour touchscreen, linux OS, etc in its favor. The P800 has virtually everything the A760 has and has'nt got with the exception of a 65k screen, and the linux OS. get a P900 over both of these devices is my answer. This message was posted from a P900

@blackbauer: I couldn't agree with you more. ( except the video recording , a760 can do that.) however, it is quite a value-for-money for its price, which i think is close to half of the p900.

Black,

I think you got it all wrong there except for one. I owned an A760. Yup, the phone does not comes with an external memory card slot (only a meager built-in 8MB memory). Which sux!! (err, sorry Debu:)

Other than that it CAN records moving picture with voice, has voice dialling and also voice digitizer where it can read out your sms aloud (however you need to activate the function first) and responsive screen.

To dial out, you can use the virtual keypad. Easy to use even without the stylus. The downside, you'll get fingerprint marks all over the screen afterward.

Despite how much I like to keep this device, the lack of software (esp. Linux-based) and the absence of flash memory slot making it less desirable.

Fortunately for me, next week I am getting the P900. Got it for free (won in some contest). Feeling a bit impatient:)

As for the A760, somebody already make an offer. If all goes well, I letting it go...for a price, that is.
