Has anybody had the Vox/S710 before changing to Wings/S730? If so, what are your thoughts on overall responsiveness, battery life (3G off) and video playback between the two?

Thanks!

Hello,
Sorry for my bad english.
I had the s710/Vox for about 6 months, and own the s730/Wings since 2 weeks. The Wings is a good machine, but I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed, because of 2 major problems : the wings is more massive than the Vox, just a bit, but it looks bigger ... and heaver too ...
The external keyboard is very poor, I don't know why they didn't keep the Vox one, but now the keys are too small, and this is very disturbing.
For my use (a bit of wifi, always 3G), the battery life is the same for the 2 phones : about 3 days, and it's good for a smartphone (for example did you test the Startrk ? only 1,5 day maximum!).
The phone is most responsive (I only have the WM6 and not WM6.1 rom, but some people here say that WM6.1 is faster on this phone). The OS runs clearly quicker compared to the Vox. I didn't test video playback yet.
To conclude : I don't regret my Vox and the price I paid the Wings, I only regret the keyboard and that the GPS is still not activated! But if one day HTC or Xda-dev activate the GPS chip, it would be the best phone ever at this time.
