Very disappointed with the carriers
 

The utter lack of post-purchase support from the major carriers and manufactuers (that means YOU Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and UTStarcom!) disturbs me.

Will we be able to flash a downgrade afterward? Tethering built-in??

Been running the Alltel 3.3.1 + radio upgrade on my XV6700 since released. Coverage issues have mostly gone away - only get disconnected from EVDO USB tethering every once in awhile. And it sure is nice having Bluetooth wireless stereo so I can rock out when mowing the lawn. Having a lockup issue with the Camera app that is repeatable tho, and was going to bring it in when/if the XV6800 gets released to see if I could "upgrade" - I'd just have to change the Alltel bootup screen back to Verizon and make sure the channel was run dry of the 6700, which it appears just might happen now that there'll be a greater demand for the refurbs. =)

Very glad to see this is actually going to happen. Thank you helmi_c!

Can Wait For This Thank You For Hard Work I hope Sprint Version Going Be Released

Lest anyone wonder what time it is someplace in the world...although it doesn't seem to accomodate for DST here in the states...

so wonder if Helmi will release this right at midnight or later in the early AM?

Man, I don't know what I am looking more forward to at midnight... WM6, or the direct deposit from my paycheck to hit the bank.

Yeah, WM6 wins.

hmmm, no year was mentioned, better get me another case or 30 of beer!

The paint is getting real thin on my F5 button.
