wilee, thanks for the review of the XV6800. Knowing some of the aspects of the PDA is nice but you don't give much on internet usage except it's faster. Can you tell us more about the internet access? In particular is it capable of handling java content? That was the part about the XV6700 that I was most disappointed about; the lack of java support. Please tell us.

It seems like there's something to the theory of larger contract favoritism... You can pre-order 3 new LG phones that are available later this month on the VZW page now. Lovely.

Thanks the info Tonychris, but knowing Verizon it's possible they will disable java capability. If someone knows that it isn't disabled on the Verizon version I will feel more confident that it's there.

Being a former (still partly current) VzW customer, I understand your concerns. I lived through my share of crippled Motorola flip phones, crippled Bluetooth (so you'd have to use "Get It Now!"), etc ,etc. But the beauty behind a WM phone is that you have the ability to pretty much customize it the way you want... even if VzW decides to leave Java out, there's a number of third party free Java midlet managers that you can load on there.

Hey... I wouldn't put anyting past VzW... But I'm 99.999% sure you'll have no problems runnning Java apps on the phone, whether VzW likes it or not

You got one!!! Great! Finally there is progress on this Thread...

Question about the XV6800...
Can you tether to a laptop w/o having to deal with VZGayConnectManager?

(Worst case is that we have to use the PDA-Net app)

Thanks!

The 6700 is starting to show "out of stock" in some zip codes now.

I believe this is the second time this has happened (not to downplay your find). For what it's worth, my zip code also shows out of stock (55403). Depending on the size of the phone and how it feels in my pocket (yea, I'm one of those people). I might end up waiting even longer for The vogue (or whatever the hell they'll call it).

I'm hoping that they took their extra time to rid themselves of the horrid problems the poor Sprint folks have had to deal with (although I feel the memory issue, as many have stated, is more a WM6 problem). Still, it should be interesting if they keep up that Black Friday release date. <knocks on fake wood table>

I received an email from Verizon that says "It's Official! The XV6800 to be launched on Nov. 28th!"

Could it be?

"Could"? "Official"? "<insert any date here>"?

Verizon is so lucky I love their service.
