So some guy said that a data plan in the UK costs 35 pounds. At the current exchange rate that is about 60 dollars a month. That is one expensive data plan. I work in a VZW call center and yesterday while helping a customer set up email on one of these phones I went through all of the available features and the 29.99 data plan is currently not available for the 6900. Our system will show us all possible features that can be added and it was not there. It is only the SMT5800, XV6800, and Q9M that currently support it. I do believe that some of the things being said are really disrespectful to the consumers throughout the entire cellular industry. Please remember who you represent regardless of the company.

No wonder our customers call in so confused....check your M&P's VZW employees....it was updated on 04/30/08, and states the only devices that can get the $29.99 Web and email data plan for pdas are: Motorola Q Motorola Q9M SMT5800 XV6800 (the Q was a new addition to the list on the 30th for those reading all these posts). Thanks to confusion like this, we get customer escalations demanding that they saw it was available on a website or from a rep...as for a Data Master (???) saying otherwise, didn't know that was a position within the company, but I would like to have it for the cool title : )

This is a completley Bias review promoting the Sprint phone, the phone does have gps etc.. all the verizon's multimedia, their is no lag and every other accusation i have found was proven to be false.

Wow... i'm planning on trying out one of these phones... but damn, I really hope I don't turn into some of you. PEOPLE!!!! IT'S A PHONE!!!!...My god... you act like it's a device that will save the world. My advise... bye a phone you like... and get a life. Some of you truly have WAY too much time on your hands to be arguing over CDMA and GSP on a freakin cell phone. WTF?

This phone is really a sorry offering. I've had 'dozens' of phones through the years, and this is one of hte worst. Touch mechanism is horrible - my three year old has toys with better touch screens. Everything about the phone is slow, Slow, SLOW. Once you've made a phone call you have to push all kinds of buttons to get a keyboard up so that you can do voicemail commands in the middle of a call. The side button which is the default button for the camera is in the wrong damn spot. No matter what you chage the button to command, it gets in the way. Using your finger (instead of the stylus) on the touch screen is very frustrating. No way you can use your fingers on the qwerty. Battery life sucks. And the color white is so damn girly I'm not sure why a man would want to own it. Do not buy this phone - it is crap.

Hi Guys, well I been using this phone for almost 3 months now. love th style but thts all about it ... I miss calls on th phone so many times which mean that the phone will not even ring once it goes to stand by mode .. I run my business over the phone and i am really dissappointed with this problem so if someone can tell me if this is something common or some of my phones setting are off .... I bought the phone coz of its style and thinness and now i realise the battery is a major issue i use my phone alot and my average use is about 12000 min a month and this thing will not keep charge half a day but again I realise i use it alot too but i never had this problem before ... so before I take it back and yell bout it and try to get a new one I would appreciate if someone can tell me that shall I go for a Replacement or its going to be the same problem ...

I'm sort of dissapointed with this phone.It was time for my verizon upgrade so I chose this one because of it's features. I bought it back in August and it is already having trouble. It freezes quite frequently and is very slow. I Have recently just started to experience what I can only hope is the worst part. It freezes while It is sending the message then I try to shut it off and it will not work. So then I take the battery out and turn it back on and all my recent messages I've recieved are gone and it's as if they never existed. There is still a year and half left on my contract; I just have to be thankful it's not going to be the rest of my life.
