Improvements over the Qtek:

  • GPS navigator
  • 3G network support offering much better internet bandwidth
  • Mousepad
  • More flash memory for mp3s
  • Thinner, thus fitting better in my pocket
  • Less heavy
  • Comes with two web browsers preinstalled, making more web sites accessible

The only drawbacks I've noticed so far is the Samsung's much smaller keyboard and slightly smaller screen. And it has neither a tab key nor any cursor movement keys, relying instead on the mousepad.
