Glad to see that they gave it more memory. Cingular's version, the 8525, only has 128MB Flash and 64MB RAM.

And is it just me or does anyone else think it's stupid to have a slide out keyboard adding bulk when you have a touchscreen?

HTC sure knows how to spoil my Christmas :(]]>Dec 22nd 2006 3:21PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/
"How come my FOUR-year-old Samsung i700 has a bigger and better screen than the XV6700 and XV6800 do AND has a longer battery life?"

i700 bigger screen? No. i700 better screen? No idea since I've never seen an i700. Read your own link and you'll see the screens are the same. i700 longer battery life? No. Talk time is longer on the 6700. And when you're getting into the 8+ days for standby I think I can find some time in there to plug it in.

"And is it just me or does anyone else think it's stupid to have a slide out keyboard adding bulk when you have a touchscreen?"

Not stupid at all. If I need to type a word doc or anything requirin a lot of text, the onscreen keyboard is unpratical and takes up valuable screen space. Even typing a URL is quicker using the slideout keybaord.]]>Dec 22nd 2006 3:38PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/

@Ari... Yes I completely agree with you! I've been preaching that forever now... I want HTC to do something about the damn phone aspect of the 6800 because on the 6700, its CRAP. My phone sometime gets stuck when someone is trying to call me and I try to answer it. Its fustrating and I wouldn't mind just changing to a phone that doesn't do this anymore. But... I want a keyboard similar to the 6700 and a touch screen because the keyboard is one of the best i've ever used aside from the Tytn or U.S. branded 8525...

@ALL USERS... Does anyone know when or if Sprint is getting the 6800? And if you do, do you have pics?]]>Dec 24th 2006 2:45PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Dec 24th 2006 5:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Dec 27th 2006 12:25AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Dec 28th 2006 12:04AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Dec 29th 2006 12:13PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/]]>Jan 1st 2007 5:30PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 2nd 2007 1:20PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/
I've still got my fingers crossed on that rumored 1/15 launch date, since the source of the rumor was pretty accurate on the Sierra Aircard 595 launch date last month.]]>Jan 2nd 2007 7:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 3rd 2007 6:22PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 4th 2007 2:36PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 6th 2007 9:11AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 8th 2007 6:08PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/

Im due for the upgrade this month... Is it worth the wait? OFCOURSE. I can do so much with my 6700, Imagine with all the upgrades. I can already do more than i thought... cant wait to get my hands on the 6800. ]]>Jan 9th 2007 2:04AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 9th 2007 4:39AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/

1. Often will not even answer incoming calls. I see them but when I hit answer...nothing.

2. Error 37...Error 37...oh yea Error 37!!

3. Once a day phone will not power on have to reboot it and when I do half of the battery is chewed up.

4. When the above doesn't happen the battery only lasts about half of the day. If I forget to charge it overnight the thing is dead in the morning so it is useless that day. No I don't want the giant extended battery sticking out the back thanks!

5. Will not no matter how many time I enter it and check the save password box remember the friggin data network password for mare that a few days.

6. Not even close to loud enough. Speaker and earphone. Yes I did the registry hacks still not enough.

These are just the most annoying problems but there are more but I won't bore you with the rest.

Suffice to say I hope this new 6800 is waaaaaaaay better but somehow if it is a WM5 device I doubt it.]]>Jan 10th 2007 7:32AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 10th 2007 12:58PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/

The release date is still unknown. It will be a brand new device with Windows Mobile 6.0. Not enough information is given to us until months prior to the release. The XV6700 is still hot. Plus their will be a new update to AKU3.2.

Sounds like the plan is to release it w/WM6 (Crossbow). Not sure of the significance of the 6700 update noted.]]>Jan 12th 2007 11:12AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 12th 2007 5:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 13th 2007 11:08PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 15th 2007 1:16PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 18th 2007 7:22PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 19th 2007 5:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/22/verizon-utstarcom-xv6800-the-cdma-tytn-lives/Jan 24th 2007 10:53AM
