hey ckelly, i thought i had pretty much settled on the Nevo after reading your input the other day. and fortunately i was able to find a local dealer(toronto, on), so i went right down to "feel it up". i was a little disappointed. it didt have the same "spacey" shine and i found it was trying really hard to be a one hander but wasnt ergonomic enough or rounded enough to feel really comfortable. i also found the scroll wheel on the right side quite awkward, i think mostly due to the fact i'm left handed though. aswell i didnt like the feel of the centre "ok" button, it felt hard to press without also pushing one the directional buttons immediatly surrounding it. furthermore (sorry this getting long, i do actually like the product,lol ) i wasnt crazy about the shape of it when looking at its face, the way its smaller at the bottom getting wider to the top. i can see the ergonomic logic, but again i just didnt love the look.... on most sites i have seen i dont think i saw anything other then anglle shots, most sitting on its VERY cool looking cradle.

the TSU7000 on the other hand surprised me as i expected it to be very cumbersome and awkward to hold one handed, where in fact it is very light and my thumb was able to reach the far side of the screen while holding it single handed. i also liked the overall look of the pronto better than the Nevo, it did have a nice shine to the casing and when holding it my hand it just seemed to have more WOW factor. and needless to say i like the simplicity of the RF extender over setting up a Wireless network in my home.

what i dont want is to find myself with the Pronto and just reaching for my PVR remote or whatever out of convenience in not wanting to mess arond with a sophisticated, somewhat fragile, less ergonomic device, ie:half asleep on the couch, whatever. as i said before in reference to the nevo i'm quite intimidated about the programming factor -and much more so the pronto!

then theres the price issue. in canada the pronto goes for $1300 - $1500 bones, the nevo around $1k. however down there, i see the pronto anywhee from $550 - $900 and the Nevo consistantly $799. also i soke with a rep from philips who said if i order from the US the manufacturers warranty drops to 3mo from 1yr. but i just have this mental block with spending over $1K on a remote!!

this has to be the toughest "toy" decision i've ever had to make!! lol.
