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:
