got my 6800 today

[weedahoe]

So as everyone knows I particularly do not like WM6(.1) on a 67 and there are many reasons for this and mainly because the hardware on the 67 cannot fully take advantage of what WM6(.1) has to offer but I am not against WM6(.1) so lemme make that clear. With that being said, I got my 68 today.

For those who have been trying to upgrade from the 67 to the 68 by means of insurance, I will explain how mine happened.

I filed my claim online and they sent me a new 67. It worked great but then I realized the vibe motor worked when it wanted to and not when I needed it to. So I called up Ashurion (sp) and gave my complain. The CSR apologized and said they would send out another 67. But when I told her I had the same issue from the last one the sent (true) and from the original I got from VZW (true again) she said they could either send out a Treo 700 or a 6800 and thus I chose the 68.

So maybe some of you can do the same. it only cost me my $50 and a week. Both phones were sent overnight BTW via DHL.

Yea I am on my 6th one in the past 4 months and this one has a broken led flash. So I will prolly go today or tomorrow and try and see if I can get upgraded to a 6900. I thought you had purchased an unlocked diamond?

I did but the seller refused to send it being the auction didnt go as high as he wanted it to go. Phucking sux I know. B* should have done a reserve if thats how he wanted it to go.

My boss got a new HTC with WM6.1 and it works flawlessly. Clearly the issues with WM6.1 are from it being hacked to older hardware. It's comforting to know that it isn't as crappy an OS as I thought.

[weedahoe]

Yes Jabu I agree, WM6 is great when paired with the right hardware.

so is the internet tethering as easy as with the 6700?

[weedahoe]

A bit off topic but yes it is easy. There are many threads on this however so a quick search should yield some good results.
