oh, a few hints about using the 6700 on alltel u prepaid - you might have to try your luck calling several different representatives to get one who is willing to activate it (there's other advice on that at howardforums.com - search on alltel prepaid smartphone activation). also, once you get it activated, installing (or baking to your ROM) and using a program called "NoData" from MoDaCo is practically mandatory, otherwise you may mysteriously wind up with your prepaid funds depleting due to them charging $0.10/kb for data. (This is where the WiFi functionality rocks... you can take this phone to many places and use the WiFi to your heart's content for no additional charge.)

i am experienced with this combination (alltel u) and the 6700, so if you have any questions, let me know. i upgraded to WM6.1 on this phone using the advice on the forums here, and after much learning and tweaking, i will never look back to using just a regular cell phone again ... a PPC phone is an awesome platform and feels much more like a little laptop that can do many things, in addition to a halfway decent phone.
