Is it locked in Sprint's 6800? Will I have to use a custom ROM to make it work? I cooked many ROMs for my 6700, so it's no big deal, but I was planning to use the stock ROM on the 6800 for a while, unless GPS is a no-go without cooking something...
Answered my own question. GPS is not locked. Was walking around watching the map move in Live Search. Fun stuff. The 6800 is thinner and lighter, and I like the keyboard much better than the 6700. It seems a little bit smaller, but it seems easier to use, even with my big hads. The backlight is much improved.
