Hmmm.... 1) No camera--who cares. 2) 30 GB Hard Drive, good grief, what do you do on this thing? 3) Root crippled? Puh-leez, the 770 is only root crippled for those without the skill to flash it out (or in, depending how you look at it). 3) Shorter battery life. Frankly, I can't imagine anything shorter than that of the 770. 4) Bigger and heavier--ok guys, mov'in in the wrong direction here. So, I repeat...$699, OUCH!
