Checked out the 701 and the 901 today in the store. I felt the 701 is the sleeker, more attractive design. (I didn't appreciate how much tubbier the 901 is from just looking at the photos.) As a very simple mobile internet device, I don't even mind the small screen size too much. Since the midget keyboard is the same, and both seemed decently responsive running XP, the big issue is the screen resolution. Its hard to overemphasize how hopeless 800 pixels are when trying to read most web sites.
