I am on my 5th phone of this model, and every model I've had is defective in some way. I don't know if it is a bad batch that has been shipped to the local supplier, but I would not recommend this phone

Great phone, wm5 was a problem, had to reboot the phone each morning and still had problems sometimes, but the wm6 hack out there works like a champ. I recommend this phone. Still I am waiting the Verizon to get the HTC Touch on the market.

5. Nothing Compares to this...

This phone/pda replaced my Treo 600 almost one year ago. I can't say enough about this wonderful piece of technology. I constantly read about and compare with other phones in its class and nothing stands up to it, not even its replacement the HTC P4000 "Mogul". (only upgraded with a 2.0 megapixel camera rather than the 6700's 1.3mp)My WM5 Starcom 6700 does not freeze, ever, period. Telus network reception is great, as I use it quite a bit at the cottage (remote area in Canada). EVDO 1X network gets 400-500 megabits per second download even with 1 bar of reception in an "out-of-town" area. Built-in Wi-Fi makes it easy to connect to ANY "hot-spot" for fast and free internet acces. (ie-home wireless network, McDonald's, free Best Buy or library Networks) Most other phones, PDA's of its era do not have Wi-Fi technology. I use it as a GPS with a Garmin Que bluetooth reciever. Amazing. I most recently tried loading a full length avi movie on my SD card and it plays as well as ANY portable dvd player. Screen quality is superb no choppiness. I use it for mp3's played on the built-in speaker and the sound quality compares to your basic clock radio. Even better, it's a boom box with an adapter and amplified computer speakers. The querty keyboard is superior to the "non-slide" phones like the Blackberry, Motorola Q, or Treo. One-touch operation is easy with the joystick style central button and relative face buttons. I use this PDA as a usb or bluetooth CDMA modem for my laptop. Works great anywhere with more than exceptional download speeds over EVDO. File transfer and sync is easy over Wi-Fi access to LAN's or linear transfers from PC to PDA through bluetooth. Built-in 1.3 megapixel camera is great for sharing pics with friends by email or internet. Even better, it's a video recorder with sound! Try that with your phone! I could go on and on, the bottom line is that this baby packs a lot of power for its size. I've tested this PDA phone as if it were a real computer and it hasn't let me down yet. App after app after function, with reasonable expectations, has proven this the best PDA phone ever.

6. Great phone just needs GPS

I have had my 6700 for about a year. I had the 6600 before that. I love the phone. It is a great phone if you use it correctly and use some of the excellent software out there to go with it. I travel a lot with my job and like another said on here I can pretty much go without my laptop. I can view almost any web page, I can watch entire movies with a software called pocket DVD. I have google maps for mobile devices that let me find locations quickly where ever I am. Windows media is great for playing mp3's. I can create and email word/excel documents and take decent pictures with the 1.3 mp camera. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is the GPS. The MSM6500 chip inside states that it has GPS and AGPS capabilities but I haven't been able to make it work yet. My guess is that it is disabled so that the carriers can charge you to use it across their network. Still a great phone.

7. I've Had This Phone for 1 1/2 years

I purchased this phone over 1 year ago. It is very technologically advanced, BUT it freezes like crazy! I am very tech savvy so I know what I'm doing. I've already tried to update my firmware many times. It has even updated itself numerous times when I call tech support. I love the mini-sd slot and the keyboard design is great. The thing I hate about this phone is that it freezes. It freezes, and I don't have any signs until I use it. When it freezes, I miss calls and my battery gets loaded for the whole time it freezes. In order to reboot it, I have to take the batter out and perform a "cold-boot". Another thing I hate about this phone is that it does not ring/vibrate as it should sometimes. I've had it in vibrate mode and 1 hour it will ring fine. A few hours later I'll have the phone in my hand and I would have had 5 missed calls. That really upsets me. I think it's because of Windows, but it might be a firmware update that I might need. I love the text interface, but I hate that you can send images through text. The bluetooth works pretty good. I've only had it fail a few times, but nothing where I would say is sucked. The wi-fi was a not always very good, but all it took was a reboot to find wireless network (typical Windows OS). And my final thought. I'm having a hard time to get it to work on my Mandriva Linux.

If you think this phone is garbage thats because you don't know how to use it. The potential of this phone can only be apprieciated by those who know how to use it. I almost have no use for my laptop anymore.

OVERALL EXCELLENT PHONE (if you know how to use it)

10. Excellent Phone!!!

I absolutley LOVE this phone. Not sure what the others are complaining about, but I originally bought a Treo 700w (Windows Mobile version) from Verizon, but returned it after a couple of weeks because the square screen is absolutely annoying and a good majority of the software out for the Pocket PC (PPC) doesn't work well with a 240x240 screen. I must say, as a phone this phone is about the same as any other cell, but coupled with a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), it's an awesome phone. For those that are looking for more of a phone than PDA, then this is *NOT* the one for you, you should get the Treo 700w which is more of a phone than PDA. For those that want more of a PDA w/phone, then this is ABSOLUTELY the one you want! Fully compatible with all PPC software, the phone/PDA combo is great. Volume can be improved to make it louder, but it does play MP3s well and handles videos/movies with no problems. I have a 1 gig mini SD card for more storage and practically store every add-on program, pictures, videos, movies, etc on it. I play games, read and respond to email, browse the web - all with no problems whatsoever. My only complaint about this phone is that as a "true" PDA more than a phone, you really can't dial a contact from your address book without actually going through a few steps, unlike a regular phone where you can easily scroll through your list then dial within seconds. There is a function to assign "speed dial" numbers to the first 9 numbers on the digital keypad, but other than that, unless you assign voice dialing, you need to load the address book then search or scroll through until you find the person you want to call. Other than that, this phone is awesome!!!
