I had a 6700, with colonel's 3.3 rom previously. That was a sweet setup. I've spent all day trying to find the main cabs from that ROM to install on my new p4000/6800...

So, anything I can do to make this device better...

Battery life? Worse or the same compared to the 6700 stock 1350 battery? i760 and the 6800 both have the features I want, just need to know which one would last longer on the stock battery.....

avp, I would love to get a rom dump off of it. Once done, I could probably create a custom rom for you. When you have time, come find us in the ppcgeeks chat room.

I'm still worried that the Sprint version won't get an upgrade... WM6 needs to be on it...

Personally I would love to see someone put cellular capabilities in a device with the iPaq 4100/1900 form factor. Unfortunately it seems that the very few choices coming up with a 3.5" screen are very large bricks, even bigger than the 6600.
No sir, I do not. I'm sticking with my 6600 for now. I was gung-ho for the 6800 until I saw it in person. It's just bloody small for me. YMMV.

Hey Colonel, I signed up at ppcgeeks over an hour ago, but I haven't received my activation email yet. It's not in my Junk mail either. I can't figure out any way on the site to have it resent. I don't know if you are tight with the admins over there, but if you could either have them activate my acct (username: avp) or have them resend the activation email it would be great... Thanks...

i find the stylus seems to stay in much tighter than the 6700 does.

if you still need someone to test the VC1.6 thing, I will install it now and test it.

EDIT: VC announce works over BT just fine.

With no antenna it doesn't make a difference which way you store it in your pocket, which means no worries for me on losing the stylus! I cant wait for this thing to come out!!!

Is the scroll wheel a true 360 degree turning wheel?

Or is it more like a toggle wheel that just turns a little up and a little down.

Wow! That is a tiny phone.... I'm not sure I would enjoy that small screen coming from a 6600... I guess over time one would just get used to it be geez that's small.

Is there any improvement when looking at the LCD in direct sunlight compared to the old 6700?

Also, how is the ringtone volume and speaker phone compared to the quiet 6700?

Thanks!
