#2-WiFi is crippled on the XV6700 in that when it gets turned on, the CDMA portion of the phone gets turned off, and vice-versa. This means you can't surf on WiFi and talk on the phone (or recieve calls, etc) at the same time, just like the Samsung i730 on VZW.
I don't have one myself, but according to Chris Price @ PCS Intel, the UTStarcom update does actually fix this and allow the WiFi and CDMA radios to be active at the same time.
Yes, there has been a patch available for some time to work around this issue as well, but it was a hack, not an officially released work-around.
