Now that my MC35 is back, its time to return the MC75 to the demo pool. Here are my lasting impressions.
A- Its too big for "personal" use
B- It is perfect for service, tech and delivery applications due to its toughness, large screen and power.
C- Having 256mb storage negates the need for an added memory card.
D- That VGA screen is georgeous!!! And big too! Going back to my 2.8" is tough after that 3.8" beauty.

1 step beyond! Bluetooth Keyboard
I just acquired a BlueTooth keyboard off ebay and it really opens up doing serious email (and blogging) on the road. One more step in becoming truly mobile and ditchin the PC (or laptop).
The stoweaway Bluetooth keyboard I got is unfortunately discoontinued and officially unsupported, but it works great even on the MC75 full vga with WM6.
I recommend a BlueTooth keyboard to everyone with a handheld.
Expect to pay around 100$ retail, but this olne can still be won for under 50$ on ebay.

MC75 - Same as ever... but better
After a few days of using the MC75 and its accessories, it really does not feel like anything new (except for that georgous screen of course).
Thats a good thing though! In a world of ever changing technology incompatible accessories, it is nice to be able to use all the accessories from the MC70. Even nicer is that all the applications I have used have scaled without glitch to the higher resolution screen.
I am also getting used to the physical size of the MC70. Being the type of guy who leaves his cellphones on the table, its not too cumbersome while in the car, it works even better because of the larger screen. (I use a bluetooth headset) (the great Motorola H700)

MC75 - Again what a screen! (and a camera)
Still working on the MC75, its incredible how even very very small
text displays clearly. Much better than a desktop lcd. To give you an
idea, the MC75 could display as much information on an 8 inch screen
as your typical 17in LCD if the MC75 screen was 17 the resolution
would be 2560x1920!

Also, I forgot to mention the MC75 has a 2mpix color camera in
addition to the barcode scanner.

MC75 - Replacement Unit
While my MC35 is being tended too, I received the brand new MC75 (detailed info here)
Although it is bulkier than the MC35 due to its larger screen and industrial design (water and drop resistant!) for the service industry, a few features really caught my attention.
OK, 1 feature really did it for me: the screen, its all about the screen on this baby. Full VGA 480x640, this screen is gorgeous!
It also comes with HSDPA 3.5g high speed cellular; Windows Mobile 6 standard and 128ram/256rom standard. Did I say it had a 3.8" full VGA screen?
This feature should open a slew of new opportunities in the field service industry. Thanks to its increased resolution, detailed technical drawings can be shown without excess zoom, remote desktop becomes practical and websites display "normally"
I'll let you know as I go and explore the MC75 further.
