All the features are there, but none of them work right. I've ranted on the subject before and am too lazy to do so again. As for BT and Wi-Fi, perhaps I can answer your reservations if you asked a question. Both BT and Wi-Fi work, but both have their problems. Wi-FI takes forever to connect and associate. BT requires you to manually select your profile and headset from a list of paired devices. It screws up quite often. For example, if I'm paired and working with a BT headset, but I answer the phone using the phone, the audio sometimes (not always) goes to the BT headset, and not the phone. I did a web page on the xv6700 which might be useful: <http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/xv6700/XV6700.htm>
Note that the instructions for the firmware update are NOT for the
latest version AKU 3.3 update, but should be similar. Also, dive into: <http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6700-xv6700/>
and:
<http://handsets.utstar.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=39&cid=1&mid=76&carrier=Verizon%20Wireless>
I played with the xv6800 and found that it had improved a few things. It's also noticably faster. The earphone audio is still too low and I found some bugs in the apps. Better, but not worth paying $400 to upgrade. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 | ||||||||||||||||
