    I really wanted this phone the vz6800 but once it was announced the $399 price tag was a shock,also the phone comes from Verizon with a 920mah battery. Sprint has the Mogule which is basically the same phone but comes with a 1500mah battery and cost $300 with a 2yr contract. Sprint is really the better deal. I think that I will hold off on renewing my contract with Verizon. Hope this information is helpful to someone out there.

  3. Bowman says:

    Hi Richard. If you look in my review I state that the battery is a 1500mAh battery. What verizon has listed is by mistake. The batter does come with 1500. Also there are people out there getting this phone for under $300 with discounts.

    [..YouTube..] Anybody know about the GPS capabilities? I have been told that it has E911, but will I need to add a bluetooth gps receiver in order to run a GPS app on this or will the app work on the standalone 6800. Great job on the review!

  5. bwonedotcom says:

    [..YouTube..] You will need to DL software to get Youtube to work on it. Search Google for the link to it. I seem to have lost it.

  6. bwonedotcom says:

    [..YouTube..] Best thing to do is a google search for free Windows Mobile software. There are a ton of sites out there with software available.

  7. bookworm316 says:

    [..YouTube..] From what it sounds like its got GPS built in but needs to be unlocked for its full capability.Check out my full review by click the responses below the video.

  8. bookworm316 says:

    [..YouTube..] All based on opinion. I would try both with the 30 day return policy verizon offers and then choose.

  9. wantin2play2 says:

    [..YouTube..] I actually seen your review on the detroit free press web site. I can’t seem to find anyone who can answer my questions. I think this is actually the HTC Tytn with a few minor changes. Anyway, Verizon keeps the specs pretty close to the vest and theres no telling if they will ever make VZnav avasilable. They recently did on the BB8830 but I am going to pick this up today. Just need to decide if I by a seperate GPS or a bluetooth unit and app for the phone.

    [..YouTube..] bookworm is there anyway that i can extend the time from my screen going off…? cant find it =\

  11. George says:

    I really wish that the phone makers would understand what an IR port is for – REMOTE CONTROL. It should therefore have 20 ft range when used for that purpose (with any of several packages), and should be located on top of the device. The bottom is better than either side, but people using the Sprint incarnation can’t get anything reliable over 6 ft.

  12. [..YouTube..] is this better than the voyager? which of these 3 would u recommend :this phone voyager by lg or the iphone? can u do a review

  13. romilmd says:

    [..YouTube..] Nice review. I’m curious if the wi-fi can be used separately from Verizon’s data plans. $45 a month unlimited data seems crazy, but this would be cool if using the wi-fi connection to surf the web etc.. Can wi-fi be used w/o incurring minute or data usage?Thanks

  14. andyboiiii says:

    [..YouTube..] Id also like to know if the phone can be used wi fi without incurring any data usage. does anyone know if this is possible?

  15. bookworm316 says:

    [..YouTube..] You can use the wi-fi without incurring data charges buty wi-fi is a huge battery drain. Verizon has plans that have voice+data combined which I think makes data $40 on each plan then they have ones that include unlimited messaging

  16. jake says:

    Is there regular texting or is there just e-mail?

    [..YouTube..] VOYAGER RULES

  20. clark says:

    how do i download music to my xv6800 and what software can i use to do it

  21. George says:

    It’s convenient to load a micro-SD card on a PC, then plug it into the XV6800 (or any other phone it fits). The XV6800 takes up to 4GB cards (non-SDHC, I believe, is required). You can get an SD -> Micro-SD adapter, and a USB -> SD adapter (or several printers and/or monitors take ‘em too). When used in this way, they appear as drives on the PC, and you can copy files to it using drag/drop, command lines, or whatever.

  22. clark says:

    thank you for that info

  23. Tenaya says:

    I’m new to the pda/smartphones so I was wonder ing if you could make a video showing how to put mp3s on the xv6800. Thanks

  24. Bowman says:

    Hello

    I’m hoping to get that video up soon. Sorry for the late reply but hopefully I can get that up soon.

  25. anna says:

    have they come out with an update so the texts aren’t threaded?
    and does the i760 have threaded texts too?

  26. shawn says:

  27. tenzin says:
