[verizonfreak1]

does anybody know anything about the new verizon pocket pc vx6700. I would really like to know if it can stand normal wear and tear like havin it in a pockect all day. Also is this phone really big because i am in high school and want to use it during classes to text and such. I know the price is high but I am willing to pay becuase I love the features!!
Thanks

Go to www.howardforums.com they have an extensive disscussion going on at the moment. If your in high school I suggest getting this phone through Sprint because the EVDO data plan is cheaper. That is unless you want the black one or have money to burn.

Can anyone tell me if it can take normal wear and tear? Like having it in your pockect all day. thanks

You'd better use a belt-carrying case for it !

If I was able to get one - I would ! I'd love suck a Pocket PC, too.

So my opinion is - get it.

It rocks!! It really stands up to the normal wear. It is the only pocket pc that doesnt seem t lock up

This phone makes the list of the top three worst products that I've ever owned.

The other two are the 1982 Oldsmobile diesel and the 1971 Triumph spitfire.

I am thinking of going back to the Verizon store and throwing it through their window.

I previouly owned two vx6600's which totally crapped out. The last was replaced under warranty with the vx 6700. It's hard to believe, but it's even worse than the 6600.

For instance, the 6600 had a button on the "phone" screen that called up the speed dial page. On the 6700, you've gotta touch a SMALL menu button, then a tiny "speed dial" item to pop up the speed dial screen. Not too speedy at all.

Once you make a call, the dial pad goes away and a useless screen appears.
If you want to use the dail pad for say a voice mail system or to dial someone in an automated system, you've gotta touch another tiny spot at the bottom to get the dialpad back.

The whole thing is quirkey and very unstable. The hard buttons are hard to use on purpose, but easy to set off by accident. Windows mobile 5 does not intergrate with ACT! contact management software unless you buy a seperate piece of software.

All in all, I gotta guess the people who designed this thing are on crack.

Buy anything else.

Act contact manger is a no. What is the software that will cure the ill?
Help!

Speaking from personal experience - The 6700 is as fragile as a glass Christmas ornament. If you drop it 2 feet, it will be totalled. And it cannot be repaired for much less than the cost of a new one. It is obvious that the standard cases that snap over your belt are being sold to put your investment at risk. They are not fit for sale and are actually intended to eventually destroy your phone. Also, don't look to Verizon for help - their response was "We only sell em, we don't make em." If you buy a 6700, you need one of the aluminum cases and you will need to add a safety chain. Even better, Case makes a padded suitcase that may actually protect it to some degree.

No it cant take a drop. if you buy it get the insurence ..there is a deductable of $50 and you get a new phone in 3 days.. I keep it in my cargo pocket all and have no problems..stylis is great for quick tex...and key pad is actually very nice..though you really cant tex while driving, (not that you should anyway)..enjoy..anyone beat 1157 on bubble breaker?

64 MB doesn't seem like much to run Win mobile 5, is it expandable?

the phone has slot for memory card to store your media files, programs, and documents...

I have had the phone for about 5 months and it was great when it was new. This phone has really takin a beating as well i have dropped it many times and only a small amount of cosmetic damage. The phone really has some great features such as internet explorer and pocket office. I do feel that the screen is kinda small. Anyway when i got the phone it was GREAT but now I have to exchange it because my touch screen just stopped workin on day! Also when you open the keyboard the screen takes to long to flip. The battery I find also dies extremly fast. I hope when i get a new phone all that will be fixed.

I have the 6700 from Verizon and I like it. I have had just about every phone that verizon has put out. I like the features of the phone and if you change the system registry on the phone, you will have a lot more functionality.
