so I’m sick of cricket and was going to go with at&t and an iphone this afternoon since this month is up for cricket… but after hearing some bad shit about the service, I’m going with someone else. I want something comparable to the iphone… can take decent pictures, browse the web (not the stupid mobile web), transfer data, send/recieve email/aim/text messages, ect, ect. not too worried on price of the phone… just want a good service provider to go along with it. thanks steve ---

Verizon IMO, Moto Q, Blackberry 8830, stay away from the xv6700. If you want more of a PDA than a phone, go with the Q. If you want more of a phone than a PDA then get a 8830. ---

It was by far the shittiest “PHONE” I ever had, it was so quiet even with the volume turned all the way up I could not talk on it while driving what so ever, the battery lasts less than 8 hours with minimal usage. We used them at work and EVERYONE ditched them because they sucked balls. It’s a decent PDA, that is about it, as a phone forget about it. edit: to prove my point I would almost consider letting him borrow mine and activating it to see how shitty it is, almost guarantee he would want to ditch it and spend the $200 on the Q in comparison. Another point of difference between the Q and 6700… uhhh the 6700 is a fucking brick, it is huge and heavy. [quote=“93dx–hatch,post:3,topic:35172"”] The moto Q does not even compare to the Iphone [/quote] Depends what you want it for… if you have an exchange server for work, the Q is better for mobile office use. I don’t disagree, the iPhone is by far the hottest for a non-business application, but at&t’s network especially the data network sucks hard. Even worse the iPhone uses EDGE, not 3G. I’d love to rock an iPhone, if it comes out on verizon or sprint, with EVDO. ---

the 6700 is garbage. I went through 6 of them in under a year. None of which was my fault. They all stopped working after a few months. ---

If you want a pissing match I’ll play, I’m at work all day. I gave my opinion, the thread wasn’t titled " Ask a Chino". I worked for Verizon for some time, gone through a hundred phones ( they tend to hit brick walls, shrug). I HAVE had nothing but good experiences with this phone, not to mention I paid $180 on eBay for it used. The 6700 was actually made by a PDA company, not the other way around. With any little problems that it may have, which thus far you’ve only said “it just sucks” is totally worth the resolution time of fixing, which surmounts to taking it to verizon and getting it reflashed, for free. :gtfo: ---
