I have this phone also, I ditched it to the back burner for the time being - using it as a data only phone. As a PDA for mobile email and calendar etc, it is fantastic, kinda sucks as a phone though. Battery life is low when using EVDO, and the phone is way too quiet, I couldn’t hear it over the exhaust on my car when driving ever (and it is not that loud)… I picked up the VX8600 (chocolate flip phone) and I haven’t really touched my XV6700 since. As rubicant said, hack the shit out of it though, it can do some cool shit :tup: ---

yep, i have the sprint version, only reason i learned to tolerate it as a phone is because i dont make many calls and i typically use a headset… ive been through 3 of them all having stupid issues, the one i have now is working ok now ---

> [@Viper966](#): > > yep, i have the sprint version, only reason i learned to tolerate it as a phone is because i dont make many calls and i typically use a headset… ive been through 3 of them all having stupid issues, the one i have now is working ok now yea, headset does solve the problem for the most part, but even my bluetooth headset seemed quiet… dunno i delt with it for a while and eventually i couldn’t take it anymore and gave up. Also as a note, apparently the later versions of firmware make the phone even QUIETER, so try not to update firmware unless you have to. I did not do this myself as I did not ever update mine, but a guy that works for me that also had the phone updated his and it got noticebly quieter after the update. He also ditched the phone for the same reason… I am much heavier use of text and emails thats why i still have it as a second phone, however to use as a phone it just doesnt cut it - its great for being in meetings though :tup: ---

Was having problems with it the past few days where people could not hear me when i call them… but i could hear them fine. They could also hear me when i hit a #. I did a hard reset, and it seems ok so far. But we will see. As a phone… its ok… bugs here and there. As a PDA, its good. ---

i have the phone and i love it… mines the sprint version… 10gb means you can only go to 10 gigs worth of sites… every time you load a sight, the phone recieves/transfers bites… you get 10 gigs worth with that plan… if your going to use the phone as a usb modem… 10 gigs will be done super fast… especially when your connecting at 300 kbs/sec
