I don't understand not wanting to have a camera. Cameras are TINY! There is no weight concern. You have to carry a camera anyhow.

Here is the choice:
1) 770 + phone + camera + scanner + fax/copier(with printer)
2) 870

I've been wanting to write a program that uses multiple passes of a web-cam to do high-res scanning and faxing/printer-copying. If the camera is of sufficient quality I'll probably take the plunge. Why have a separate (and not really portable) scanner/fax? I can take my entire office in my pocket unless I need scanning/faxing; then it's back to the luggable briefcase. YUCK!

My wish list is:
better processor (So audio/video doesn't ever skip)
more memory (So I don't have to use expansion for software/VM; only for media)
SD expansion (for all of my books, music, video, photos, scanned files, etc.)
camera (3 to 5 mega pixels with internal optical zoom)
data link (e.g., EDGE or WiMAX)
powered USB (and USB charging).

I would like a keyboard and better battery if they add no weight/size. (A built-in laser virtual keyboard would be amazing!)

I would like software for PRINTING!, bluetooth steero/VOIP profiles, a USB monitor driver and my fax/scan software.

The bottom line is I don't want to carry five devices and all their cables.
