As you all well know, picking a PDA/phone is a highly personal thing, and what one person likes another will despise. I think that the S740 is a great phone, and obviously Doug did, too. But it was neat to see the different ways that we arrived at that conclusion. :-) Oh guys; it isn’t like that.

Judie is always right... (sorry Doug!) I also agree with your wife regarding the iPhone's on-screen keyboard. I couldn't stand it. without any tactile feedback, I never knew if I hit a key, or hit the right one for that matter. I also can't tell you how much I am falling for this phone. This review was very well done! agreed, Dan. Judie is always right… (sorry Doug!)

This was a disagreement between JUDIE!!!! and doug... the outcome regarding who was "right" was a forgone conclusion. :) Seriously, it really helps to see such divergent viewpoints, especially on something which is, after all, relatively subjective. Specs aren't, but the ease of use, etc will differ wildly from person to person. (I LOVE my iPhone touchscreen keyboard... my wife HATED it.) “…but never felt the need to ‘be right’ to the exclusion of the other…”

I have seen many examples of these reviews breaking down into insults and one upping. My response to that is only to do dual reviews with reviewers whome I know well enough and respect well enough that we can agree to disagree when necesary and move on.

That hardware T9 is something I have always missed. And I love doing these. I think it is so interesting (and I hope all of you readers do too) to hear the competing views. As you can see, Judie and I really came at this one from very different perspectives, which added a whole new dimension to the review than if we had each done our own seperately. I agree, Chris.

I like the T9 keyboard as well as the slideout QWERTY. It gives you the best of both worlds for your messaging needs. Great job, y'all. We should do more of these! I love this phone.
