 So Glad to be Getting Rid of This Phone June 13, 2008

After reading some reviews on CNET I was excited to get this phone. Wow was I disappointed. The battery life is horrendous, the screen is hard to see in daylight and phone reception is horrible. Pretty much everyone I talked to complained that their voice echoed and I had a hard time hearing what they were saying. While the WIFI is great and easy to use, everything else about this phone leaves much to be desired. I'm excited to get my i730 in so I can say goodbye to the xv6700.
 Used this version for three years! Loved it. February 24, 2008

Love this phone. It's been my baby for three years. I broke one on the ground by dropping it and got another one.
Have moved to a Samsung and am about to go back to this phone.
Very good... but not "simple". December 3, 2007

I've owned over 20 phones, from Blackberry's to Q's. So I can tell you that this is not a BAD phone. It's not perfect either.
As far as "locking up", as noted in a previous review, that could be caused by not properly shutting down programs. Windows Mobile is the real problem here, because when you CLOSE a program... it isn't "shut down". Many people buy this phone and use the various programs, closing them normally while never realizing that each program is STAYING in memory to later cause problems on the phone. To properly shut down programs (after closing them) you must go to SETTINGS/SYSTEM/MEMORY/RUNNING PROGRAMS and choose STOP ALL (or selectively choose which program to STOP).
I've not had any more dropped calls on this phone than with any other cellphone I have owned. This phone has great WiFi reception too. Better than some others I have tried (Like the Samsung sch-i730).
The full, slide-out QWERTY keyboard is excellent, but the top is a bit too close to the body of the phone, making it a bit uncomfortable to hit that top row of letters. Not a serious problem though.
Mini-SD slot works great!
Uses a USB cable that has a standard USB mini-connector on one side and the regular, larger USB on the other. You may already have a device that uses the same cable, plus adapters are VERY cheap and plentiful.You won't have to worry about an expensive cable replacement should you lose your original, or leave it behind and need to connect on the road. I always take my USB mini-adapter with me.
As I've said, I've used a LOT of phones. I still think the Blackbery is one of the most RUGGED and well built phones around, and would certainly choose a Blackberry over the XV6700. But if you want a nice Windows Mobile phone, enjoy touch-screen driven devices, and can handle all the features, it's not bad at all!

This phone makes calls on its own and locks up everyday. The web brouser eats the whole battery up, cannot scync to pc for outlook. And the dropped calls and bad reception make this my worst phone ever. I can wait to get a different phone.
