It might have been important to note that Sprint doubled the RAM, and Processor. 400mhz and 128mb of RAM. They also added EV-DO. I might be wrong but i think the original Touch was only 2.5G. I've done speed tests on EV-DO and gotten over 1.2 MB/s ....I get about 1.4MB/s on my DSL line so with sero plan (unlimited data), I couldn't care less that they ditched the wifi! Using Orb, I can stream music/video/tv from my computer at home flawlessly.
I upgraded to this from the 8125 (Wizard), and its a HUGE difference. I was worried that I'd miss the hardware keyboard, but I can type almost as fast on the screen, and I like not having a slider that can wear out. (I was on my 3rd 8125 b/c the screens kept failing).
I'm sorry, my opinion could be slightly biased since i own this phone, but it is a great phone and I would highly recommend it to my friends. And sprints Sero plans are unbeatable...which is what ultimately made me switch from ATT/Cingular.
