I love this phone. even thogh i have had to replace it 4 times. once it just shut off never to coem on again, then i cant remember what happened to the cecomd one, the third wouldnt receive calls or texts without me dailing out to my voicemail to initiate contact with the network, but the 4th phone…well its golden! I cant tell you how many times it has been useful to have th einternet available at lightining speed. On occasion it will error connecting to the network for internet but not often. volume on the phone is bad liek mentioned earler. the alarm sucks though.

Need Help! I want to purchase the xv6700 . i will ONLY purchase the data plan and not use WIFI. Is EVDO available for the data plan or I need to purchase the EVDO plan seperately? Can I also syn my yahoo email as my primary email in outlook? and can i chat in YM and use the camera as a webcam? Is it really faster than dial up internet when I surf the net??

Hope some1 can help me, i really want to purchase this pda but I want to know if it can do what I want it to do??

Luckily I don’t use mine for very important appointments, but I’ll agree that it sucks. Seems that to get the best out of the phone you have to spend $100 on add-on applications. Perhaps that might be fixed in the upcoming ROM update for Verizon, though.

Had mine less than a week and I can tell you one potential deal breaker is the pitiful alert for appointments. I can say that it looks like I can with the WIFI on, I can receive calls–no hacks involved. The phone audio and reception seems on par with my old Treo 600.

I picked one up this weekend - the first until I got had a problem with the switch that rotated the screen - which I didn’t discover until after I had it all set up using Intellisync (odd name, ’cause it’s rather stupid) - so I took it back, got a replacement that has a keyboard that works great - but now as soon as I get the Intellisync crap up - the regular USB cable ActiveSync shits out… Technology is GREAT!

I still like the phone quite a bit but I’ve been having issues where it locks up at random, especially on bootup when it tries to load both voice command and SBP PocketPlus at the same time. Disabling VC seems to have solved the problem. I’m still not happy with the free AIM clients out there (Agile blows nuts horribly and Verichat works great but isn’t free). Also, 2GB is the largest miniSD you can buy and they’re somewhat scarce. Keeping the screen clean is nearly impossible as well. Overall, it’s buggy but no showstopping bugs that make me have second thoughts about buying it.

So - what’s the verdict on the XV 6700 now that it’s mid-March?
