Two questions . Is the today screen on the 6800 HTC or Windows?
Also , do you know for sure if VZW is going to offer the Vogue in Jan.08 ?
I am waiting on the 6800 but the wife is waiting on a Vogue.
Thanks Man !

Not sure what you mean by the first question. If you mean does it come with the HTC Home Today plugin, the one I saw did not have it enabled by default. I didn't check to see if it was installed or not.

As for the Vogue, yeah, the last date I saw for the Vogue (Touch) was Jan 8, but a few phones have been pushed back, so no guarantee it won't be pushed back too.

Hmmm ... well, verizonguy, I was pretty sure I was going to pick up the XV6800 as soon as it was available (my wife is gonna kill me - I got the XV6700 just a couple of months ago), but the idea of the Vogue (Elf, etc) sounds pretty good.

And I just don't have the balls to buy 3 smartphones within 6 months!

Thanks for answering my questions . Do you still think they will be taking
internet orders this time next week(6800) ? Have you heard anything about the
Samsung F700 comming to VZW during the holiday season ? Do you think it
would kill the LG 10000s sales? It seems to be more of a Iphone type phone.

The hard launch date is still slated for the 16th at this point. As for the B2B/Online order soft launch--Nov 2 hasn't been firmed up, but I'm hopeful.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but a large amount of PDA sales for new costumer and existing costumers are based on looks. So saying that function beats looks is completely wrong. just my 2 cents on the market.

Yeah, who needs a phone that does everything you want/need it to? Wouldn't most people rather have a phone that looks nice and doesn't have any useful features? That totally makes sense.

I heard on the chat that the vogue will won't have wifi on the 400 mhz model? this was for sprint. I am on V, but I hope this is not the case on the V planneD release. anyone know why thry aren't putting bigger processors in these phone yet? 400 mhz is what they were puttin in the 6700's two years ago...why still around that amount?

Im reffering to the customers who are not tech savy. Looks is what sells. Simple. All they care is that it looks nice for them and makes calls and goes online. Makes complete sense.

Battery life is already an issue on 400 mhz cpu's. Wonder what the
battery life would be for a 700 mhz Titan?

Once battery technology makes a serious leap forward then the clock speeds can follow, IMO.
