Thanks for the nice comparring :)

A few addings, found from one month of using the uber nice 210:

If you have a Stoweaway BT keyboard or mouse, you can forget about using them on the new device, as they will not update their drivers for WM6, so now mu beloved I-Go mouse is useless :(

Lots of games do not work (not WM6 or VGA compatible) i.e. Deathdrive: only track one is available, Pocket Pachisi: no go, and some others of my old favorites

Using the WiFi extencively (streaming video), makes the device run quite hot on the backside.

The powerdrain is not only done by CF cards, even if they are bad at it, the SD port also uses about 5-7% power a day. This is because the device uses RAM to remeber the pressence of a memorycard (look at the program memory, when a card is inserted).

Going directly from WM2003SE to WM6, I have a problem adapting to the new buttom bar, with only two options, especially when browsing the Internet, I miss the shortcuts (Back, Home, Favorites etc.), is there a way to get them back, or do I have to adapt to the new way?
