Re: Verizon (Asurion) insurance replacement

My two year contract is up and I'm considering the AT&T Tilt but I may just hold off for a while. I'm still hoping to find a PocketPC with VGA resolution, keyboard, wiFi, Bluetooth and enough memory for less than $500 with a two year contract. No success so far.

My replacement XV6700 came in yesterday (04/07) and it's nice to have a virgin phone to tweak again.
I tried a Tilt for 10 days from AT&T. Nice handset without any real issues aside from the missing screen driver acceleration software. Two reasons I sent it back:

1. Poor AT&T reception in my home office and, 2. The browsers (PIE, Opera Mobile, and I forget the third) could/would not render a web page I find essential in a readable form.

I wish I could get this handset in a CDMA radio. The extra RAM makes it a great handset and XDA-Developers will likely find a solution to the screen drivers issue.

So now, I'm sliding along with my 2 year old 6700 waiting for the next great release which I hope to be a Treo 800 with 128 MB RAM and WM6.1. I should live so long.
