The 6800 lags far behind the 6700 at the current time in terms of a stable driver set. It's no surprise, really--it took almost two years for the Apache to get the great drivers it has now. The 6800 is new and HTC is still working the bugs out.
There are custom ROMs and kitchens for the 6800 but without good drivers the device is not all it can be. Will it get there? I hope so. As much as we are able to do with these devices we are limited by the fact that we can't write drivers, and drivers are the foundation of these things. We can craft a really excellent kitchen but the device will still suck if its drivers aren't sound--akin to building a mansion on landfill. I have both a 6800 and a 6700--and I far and away prefer the 6700 because it is mature at this point. HTC finally got the bugs worked out of the driver set and as a result our kitchens and custom ROMs result in a truly stable device (for the most part). The 6800 isn't there yet, and it will only get there if HTC keeps developing ROMs for it long enough to work out all the bugs. My 2 cents, anyway. |

6800!!
I just got the XV6800 on wednesday.
I have to say its an improvement for the following reasons. Size and weight. Its hardly noticeable in my pocket. Thumbweel with OK button next to it. = One handed nav. Great! Battery life. Using WIFI, exchange push, and listening to music on speaker, It last beyond a day. My Apache w/ latest kitchen and latest Radio couldnt even last 1 day. Performance - I am impressed. It seems more snappy than the apache. Even loaded up with all the apps I am used to. HTC home, X-button, etc. I did not let the extended rom programs run on startup, I might add. Negatives of 6800: Once it wouldnt stop vibrating untill soft reset, and the alarm wouldn't wake the phone. So, If its customizing thats important then stay with the apache. I have done almost every kitchen rom upg. with the apache, But I have to say that I am very happy to upgrade to the 6800.

I had a treo 700p and I went thru 5 of those, then this is my 3rd XV6700, I impressed that I know you have boxes of 6700's because they are years old and come on I am just wanting a phone that works, after three to four times he put me on hold and came back and said that it would cost me the 50.00 deductible but he would do it for my situation, I was very suprised also, I am still undecided...
