I saw many HTC phones have been updated to WM6, when can we get the WM6 update on XV6700?

Considering the 6700 is pretty much reaching its life end as far as sprint and verizon goes. I would say never if you were relying on them. However, there are a few people that have been trying on these forums, currently with no success. We are pretty much waiting for a CDMA phone to get it that is similar enough to the 6700 that it might work.

Thanks! It means we have to wait for it. As the news from Verizon, the XV6800 will still work on WM5, it seems we need wait for a long time.

I recently had my xv6700 replaced by VZN Corp and was contcted by a Tier 3 technician from VZN and a Tier 2 tech from UTStarcom to ensure my satisfaction. I asked when will the xv6700 from Verizon be updated to WM6 and all agreed via 3 way call by September. So It should not be too long - true issue!

I wouldn't have believed it myself - like most of the stuff we hear in posts - but I was treated very well and the went the extra mile because I contacted the corporate offices and to have 3 individuals tell me on the phone I can personally be cool with it as long as I get it by Christmas. I don't like crap post as much as the next reader but it sounded legit to me.

There have been a ton of rumors floating around about WM6 on the 6700, And a lot of the rumors are supporting eachother for a sometime around fall release of the upgrade...

Im not going to hold my breath, But it looks like this very well may be the real deal...

Its not a bad idea, It would help prevent people attempting to break 6700's just because they want a device with WM6 on it...
