I was hoping for more of a change. A better, brighter screen with better refresh rate would have been nice. It seems the new battery is a 1200 while the older one is an 1800. Changes that would have really been great would have been in addition to the screen mentioned above, perhaps being touchable, or a slide out keyboard, and better online browsing ability. I really don't think any one of those, would have been too much to ask for, and of course all of them wonderful. Overall, a nice baby step in the right direction, and one I shall consider buying.
