Yes, I realize that no one offers perfect customer service, but the way they were treating me on something they screwed up really bothered me. So guess what I take my business elsewhere...

I hate you Verizon, can you hear me now? I hate you.]]>Mar 3rd 2006 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/Mar 3rd 2006 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/Mar 3rd 2006 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/
#6 - It's a different reference design. I like the 6700s more; I think they're more powerful. Most notably, the 6700s use a 416 Mhz Intel processor where the T-Mobile/Cingular machines use a 195 Mhz TI OMAP processor, and the 6700s have EV-DO where the T-Mobile/Cingular machines have the slower EDGE networking.]]>Mar 3rd 2006 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/Mar 3rd 2006 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/
Additionally, though I dont agree with Verizon disabling features, I sure dont want to be on Sprints network. When you are at CES and you have to constantly borrow a co-worker your phone because their sprint phone doesnt get service, it tends to get a little annoying. Their is a reason Sprints service is cheaper.

The point I am trying to make is simple. Dont let this article sway you. The xv 6700 is just as capable as the PPC 6700 if you have 30 mins and half a brain! You wont have to borrow your friends phone either, because you will have service!]]>Mar 3rd 2006 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/
The one hand operation comment is voided by a simple install of voice command which goes one step further.

As always we always want more speed, higher res display and camera and cheaper, but overall excellent phone that will pay for itself much faster than any other I've owned.]]>Mar 3rd 2006 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/Mar 3rd 2006 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/
Also, in regards to EV-DO service, SPCS has less POPs than VZW's EV-DO, but actually covers more metro areas than VZW does at this point.

In the end, I can still make a phone call on my SPCS anywhere I go as long as there's VZW service...SPCS customers roam on it for free (though I rarely use it)]]>Mar 3rd 2006 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/Mar 3rd 2006 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/Mar 3rd 2006 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/Mar 3rd 2006 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/Also... yeah. HowardForums.com. Great stuff.
I have USB and Bluetooth DUN enabled and have used it some. One of the advantages of the VZ phone is that they preload less crap than Sprint does. No matter, I cleared my extended ROM and have some regular software installed on it.
Wireless Sync IS great. I love it. I never liked Blackberries, and this works so much better.
Best setup is to setup a 'puter at home with Wireless Sync for push email, ORB Streaming media (www.orb.com) which lets me watch movies just about anywhere from my computer, Avvenu (www.avvenu.com) whcih lets me download files, and GoToMyPC (www.gotomypc.com) which lets me remote control the PC. Yeah, I'm a geek.

The Apache is faster than the Wizard (MDA and 8125) as far as EVDO goes (Which smacks EDGE) and the processor. For most tasks the the xScale (Apache) and OMAP
(Wizard) processors are close, but the Apache lets you run Skype stutter free. My mom's calling Mexico with my phone right now, using Skype.
Video playback and such are pretty similar though.

EVDO and Skype... that settles it for me.

Well?]]>Mar 13th 2006 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/
I got a reply stating that there were no plans to change. This is unbelievable, as I've read so many complaints on these two issues, so it seems that Verizon isn't willing to listen to their customer's feedback, which has been very loud and clear. I expect more technology magazines that review this phone will tear them apart on these issues as well.

What great marketing -- for the competition that is!

Some of you are saying there are fixes to all of Verizon's problems but the only direction is the PHM Regedit from Tony at the top. Could one of you kind souls who has made the changes with no problems also point the way to voice dial and especially phone-as-a-modem?]]>Feb 21st 2007 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/03/verizons-htc-apache-the-xv6700-reviewed/
