Looking for advice on buying an Universal

[rsacipher]

I am looking to buy a Universal and am upgrading from a Qtek 9100. My question is they go by several names I want to make sure that I don't buy an older model with less specs.
Are they all going to have the same specs across the board but with different software?

Pretty much, yeah. They come in different colours for the external plastic and aluminum plate, different provider logos, and the IE and email softkeys on the keyboard sometimes change logos printed on them, but other than that, they're identical hardwarewise. Oh, and foreign models (like the germans) sometimes have non-qwerty keyboard layouts.

Thanks,
My biggest fear was to buy one and find out it was a "cheaper version" of the universal with a slower processor or something like it.
I ordered the o2 XDA Exec and should have it in a few days, I can't wait!
