    Can someone explain to me the differences between the S6000 series and the s7000 series? From what I hear, the main difference is that s7000 is larger and it doesn't offer Crystal View. But when I look on P1 and fujitsu.com, it seems to show that the s7000 DOES have crystal view. So for now, the s7000 series looks more appealing to me. Does anyone have anything to say about this? Is it mainly the screen and the size of the s7000 that turns so many people off? I also heard the build quality is worse?

    What does the s7000 series have over the s6000 series?

    (This has been asked so many times but all the answers in the forum are so fragmented!)

    The S7000 just recently began offering the CV display, that's why you'll not see mention of it in older posts. In an attempt to summarize the differences (and anyone else please post what I miss):

    * The S7000 is a 14" display compared to the 13.3" of the S6000
    * The S7 offers an SXGA+ display
    * The 6 is a little smaller and lighter than the 7 (3.63 pounds vs. 3.85)
    * The 6 offers longer battery life
    * The S7 has Bluetooth option
    * The S7 has a fingerprint scanner option
    * The S7 has a pointing stick option
    * The S7 offers a smart card reader
    * The S6 has a memory stick/SD memory card reader

    I'm probably missing something...
