Verizon Wireless XV6800 Review Part 1 - BWOne.com

[paramount4rm562]

A how do u unlock this phone cuz I have one but can't unlock it

[ayyqorqeouss]

hi, do you know if you MUST get internet and texting on this phone or could you buy it without it?

[spazdawg93]

I posted this on the Verizon site because it's the question that everyone wants an answer to. The answer to: "Does this phone require a data plan" is: NO! According to the internet, and a Verizon Representative (I called and talked to him) he said that all smart phones released before Nov 14th, 2008 don't need a data plan (excluding blackberries, they've always needed one). Hope that helps!

[ellendegeneresinamin]

Does anyone know if when you upgrade to this phone without buying it from Verizon, you have to get a data plan. Like if I got it from eBay or something and just activated it online.

[AnaheimDucks96]

i freekin hate this damn phone it is a slow brick dont buy it

[bosboz]

hell nah. I have windows mobile 6.5.1, fastest one I have seen yet, and no fucking data plan. Which smartphone is better without a data plan?

AND WHERE CAN YOU BUY A BRAND NEW ONE? verizon stopped selling these ahwile ago

[kittykat2607]

can you please tell me how you got the background to display the time like that?

3:50

-thank you

[bwonedotcom]

check out my video on my channel on how to do it.

[motokid82]

um yea...i have a question about the plan but you might not know the answer. if i buy this pda do i HAVE to get a premium plan

[bwonedotcom]

I believe now with any PDA you have to get a PDA Plan that includes data with it.

[TheMadMusicMan]

No, only with phones released after the XV6900. That went in to affect 11/14/08. If you have an older phone the system will see that it is an old phone.

[xxoxAxoxx]

can u change the backround to picture?

[bwonedotcom]

yes just choose a picture and choose "Set As Today background" option.

[xxoxAxoxx]

thanks do you have this phone? idk if i want it. i think it might be too pda-ish for me.

[uniiverselove]

see this guy has a sexy voice..especially for this type of thing.,. cant wait till i get this phone

[allogoodbyesomehow]

did u say that the mp3 can be ringtones ??

[stratusfaction17]

can this phone go on youtube??

[martyzf]

how did you get the touch menu?

[motoslam]

is this the same as the HTC 6800??

[martyzf]

yes...

[sk8punk2048]

I really would like to get a phone for verizon that you can download applications, like the iphone..

[Imperialex]

whats the maximum sd card capacity this phone can support?

[JayJayNYC2DC]

Currently 8 gigs. Possibly as large as 16-32 gigs with the memory mod cab file.

[glockensvard]

I like this phone, but I have to say I like the xv6700 better, the button placement on this one is kind of unattractive. I think that these phones have gotten less and less attractive over the years. I do wish I had WM 6 though...

[Whoreley]

Thanks for the review. Not many reviewed the Verizon version.

[mbpaypal]

Why do you speak with artificial pauses? Is it because you're reading from a script and are nervous? WTF?

[Siioooneeexx]

you sound like pete wentz,

lol XD

ahahahhh

[geedunk13]

I have had the voyager for 2 weeks. Idk know if i should get this phone instead what do you think.(Please Respond).

[bwonedotcom]

I would suggest getting what will make you happen. The Voyager is a high end phone that is just below the smartphone level of phones. If you are looking for a more advance way to keep your calendar, contacts, task, e-mails with you and advanced features. I would suggest this phone. If not I would suggest otherwise but either way make sure you are happy with the phone itself.

[geedunk13]

Thanx.

[cj774returnsagain2x]

i happen to have a LG voyager phone.. though its not a smart phone. I do like the easy to use keyboard for text messages.  and the versatility of the touch screen when making or revieving calls

[nuggetsofchick]

Does anyone know if you have to pay verizon to use the WI-FI? According to the salesman, you do. I am skeptical though because it seems completely absurd that you would actually have to pay. The phone is awesomem, but I will not buy it if i have to pay for WIFI that is just ridiculous.

[carpenter172]

You don't have to pay to use the Wi-fi, but you do have to pay to use their network to get access to the internet. So as long as you have wi-fi access you're ok.

[Quinlan2]

umm thats not exactly true... i have rogers/ bells in toronto and they charge you fo wifi :p.

Not as much normal cell phone surfing but still charges you.. Im not sure bout america though xD

[carpenter172]

Interesting. I'm on Verizon, in America. If you connect through Verizon, they charge you, but if you disable (delete) the Verizon network settings and only use Wi-fi, they don't charge you. Hope that helps clarify what I'm saying.

[justinaurelius]

Anyone know how to change the background on this thing? Somehow I set it to the waterfall and I can't figurte out how to get RID of it.

[carpenter172]

Go to your pictures, find a picture you like and under menu it'll have "set to today background" or something like it, just set it to your background and you're good to go.

[valliboi1022]

So is the xv6800 better than the voyager? Can it play games and music?

[DJx79x]

this phone is miles ahead of the voyager if that is what you are looking for but some ppl may find it too complicated so it really depends on what you want this phone could basically be the same as a laptop if you want it to but the voyager is a highly featured phone and it can only be a phone

[deluxedookie]

i think this phine is the top phone you can get from verizon

[12tjay12]

this phone is Ehhh Alright but i still like the LG voyager im no the biggest smart phone fan

[SteveBIRK]

yo if i were to get this i could just turn the wifi on and never use the 3g evdo right? so i wouldnt get charged extra but i can still go on the internet in a wifi zone?

[stuffforsale2]

i will trade you a brand new voyager for it!!!

[DJx79x]

damn that sux the voyager isnt a real smartphone and you realized this as soon as you get it i feel sorry for you hey the voyager is ages better than the u740

[davister80]

Thanks for the review!  You did a great job.

[clf9299]

When you first open the phone, how do you get the background like that, with the digital numbers. I have tried everthing and it nothing seems to work.

[bwonedotcom]

I plan to post a tips and tricks type video soon for the device and will include that as well.

[tmoney1225]

yo bowman does vzw offer insurance for this phone?

[RevToTheRedline]

I have to say, you are a very good reviewer. Able to keep consistency.

[crobs808]

"verizon got this right"?? try :G, they make the phone, not verizon.

[hiphopapotomous]

how would you compare xv6800 with the i760?

[bwonedotcom]

I haven't personally used the i760 but from what I have heard most people have been happy with either one.

[PowwowTime]

You need "what" kind of adapter with the USB/Headphone splitter cable?

[sarp1028]

Lol " the case couldnt even protect a biscuit...

[funbub]

would you say better than the voyager?

[qman66]

u cant compare them..voyager is just a phone..this is evrythin...

[Hjfool]

Couldn't protect a Biscuit but I bet it could protect a Baggett....
