HTC Touch CDMA Review
Verizon Wireless XV6900 Review
Sprint’s HTC Touch is great, there are no two ways around it. The form-factor is amazing, it fits in the hand perfectly and is small enough to fit in a pocket comfortably. The increased memory meant it handled everything we threw at it and kept on chugging. The device strikes the perfect balance between size and usability. The lack of a physical keypad was a non-issue, and there are a myriad of accessories and adapters included with the phone. The flexibility of Windows Mobile means that the user can truly personalize their phone, whether it be as simple as a new look or as advanced as a complete overhaul of the device. We liked this device so much that this reviewer purchased one for himself, and I can’t think of a more ringing endorsement.

I absolutely love this phone! The transcriber took me about 2 days to get used to and it works great! I use the transcriber to do everything from writing my list of things to do for the day to creating new contacts and sending text messages. I would not ever go back to another phone. PLUS it is on the 3G network for Verizon and the download speeds are fab! I am so happy. Seems like this phone works the best on Verizon's network!

If you dont need a cell phone to make calls, then this is the coolest phone ive ever owned.....It does EVERYTHING, EXCEPT make, receive and send calls on a regular basis.
For some reason it wont open YOUTUBE video's either
If you want a PDA, buy this piece of shit, if you want a cell phone DONT BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had the CDMA version from Bell since Nov, this phone is amazing for the amount of features it has packed into succh a small package. It has an amazing messagaing center where my outlook enmail and all my other emai accounts Gmail, Yahoo, and MSN also are easily accessed. in this same center are all my SMS messages. I can run all microsoft apps including word, excel, and powerpoint. and does Zip files, and Adobe, pretty much everything I can throw at it. the multimedia is amazing, on the 3G network I can download or steam videos from virtually any site, not just Youtube, and it takes 3-5 seconds for 10-20meg of video - amazing! I have downloaded emulators for Gameboy, for NES and for SNES, and can play thousands of my classic old games, including earthworm jim, battletoads, galaga, etc etc. I listen to audio bools and music through a bluetooth STEREO headset (something iPhone forgot about) and can control all my calls, music, and audio via the headset. the customizable homescreen with integrated weather, SMS, time, outlook calendar, contacts, message center, email, and virtually anything else you want is fantastic. I like having a few buttons, more could be better when dialing calls or playing games. and the battery life is not as good as I would like, but it does last a full day of heavy use. The camera could us a flash, the reception and call quality are superb.

4. Horrible as a phone... but does other things

I've owned this phone for 6 months now... I hate it. I would never buy another phone with a Windows Operating system on it... its like being back in the days of windows 98 first edition. Random problems just happen and I have to reboot quite often... which takes forever. Sometimes buttons just stop working. The caller ID never shows up right. I have re-flashed it several times. It woks great as a phone as modem I use it all the time for that... but other than that I would save your money. Just my honest opinion it looks like a lot of other people love this phone. Maybe part of the problem is Sprint I dunno. But never ever again.

5. Not worth it man...

I wanted this phone to work out so bad! i wanted cool touch phone sort of like the iphone, but it's just not the same. I had so many positive thoughts about this phone when I first got it. Its been about 2-3 months now and I just can't deal with it anymore.
- terrible reception compared to all other alltel phones I've had. I constantly get voicemails without missed calls.
- This is probably the weirdest thing... I was at school (5-6 hrs from home) and I activated phone, then downloaded new version and it wouldn't let me call out! I could send txt and receive calls but not call out!!! I called alltel 10 times and spent hours on the phone and they never fixed my cell phone. They told me my phone was running off of the sprint towers in the area. WTF?! Well, I happen to be driving back home the next day. My phone works! BUT only within a Hr. of my hometown. After I leave that area I can't call out! I Know, I don't have a ^*&^ing clue what is going on. I made it 2-3 months with my phone b/c i was in my hometown most of the time and in europe the rest of the time. I could go on about this but I'm too lazy to type.
- when touching the screen there is a delay. Dialing numbers is the worst. I swear there is like a 1 second delay after touching a number
- Outside scratches very easily if you drop your phone. They arn't microscopic scratches, these are big gashes in the phone that you can peel off with ur fingernail.
This phone sucks, bottom line.. My dad also got this phone and his was just as bad. Luckily we are getting them both traded in and exchanged for the new bb curve.. hope it's better..
DOOO NOOOT GEET THISSS PHHHONEEE!!!!

I had to comment on this phone. Ok I got this phone from Verizon because I AM looking for the next best IPhone. I have to admit. I have been a loyal customer for like 15 years so thus why I have not gone to AT&T. Anyhoo, let it be know that I have had almost every phone out there… ie Treo, Blackberry, etc. Ok so I have this phone, Verizon only offered it in white (yuck). So anyway I was not pleased that you have to hit the top button to lock the phone during the call. Needless to say many calls are lost even when this button is hit. Seems like the screen is so sensitive it does what it wants when it wants. My camera always comes on; typing a text can be difficult if you don’t use the styles. My top button wore out less than a month and I had to replace the phone. Speaker quality sucks and this phone locks up frequently. Not pleased with the web viewing.

Bought the phone two weeks ago.
Very satisfied with this phone. I got it for the great calendar and touch features. I continue to be impressed how well it works(really intuitive). Could have been priced a little better but it has been worth it so far. Texting (without stylus) just took a day or two to get used too but really easy now.
Only things I can of as Con's: price, signal reception not quite as strong(but still good) and I get an error once a week saying something can't execute(I just hit ok 4 times).

8. Great phone

Having had the agony and torture from the Treo 700 WM, this Touch is remarkably stable! I was actually surprised that this little thing could do so much without freezing. Much lighter than the Treo.
I was going to get the new Treo with Palm OS but the sales person talked me into the Touch and I am glad he did.
The only thing I miss is the QWERTY keyboard. The touch screen keyboard is difficult to use without the stylus.

ive owned a Sprint Touch and I didnt like it. I've owned a Treo 750wx, 680, and i was planning on getting the Samsung glyde, but then I found a coupon in my mailbox. it gave me $100 off the phone. i went straight to verizon and upgraded from a Blackberry Pearl CDMA, my old phone, to this. One thing i like is that the UIS is very simple. i cant find my contacts in less than what my brother can with his glyde and my sister with her voyager. i like this phone, im never going back~~~
