Samsung D720 - The Samsung D720 vs Samsung T809

Samsung has some pretty nifty slider cell phones on the market - The Samsung T809 (above right) just launched and it features a gorgeous screen and some serious power... The Samsung D720 (above left) is on its way and looks very similar. My feeling is that the differentiator between the two is price as the T809 is a hipper phone (slimmer, bigger screen, etc) while the D720 packs a little more power and CPU without a significant amount of size. The other differentiator is style and form - the D720 features more buttons on the phone front - including a navigational joystick - which allow for easier control and access when the D720 isn't expanded. At the end of the day though, both phones are gorgeous and Samsung is clearly the leader in slider phones.
