Classic. "Grow up! don't tell me not to text while driving!"

I text message, a lot... and its very hard to text message with this phone. The keyboards nice but I do a LOT of driving, and its impossible. Also, sorting through contacts, is a pain. Even with that nifty i-pod style scanning feature, its very hard.

Ive been looking at the Verizon 700WX now... any real downsides to the WX besides it not having the slide out keyboard and screen size? I dont care bout the camera, i have a real nikon camera for pictures... any other downfalls? I see it has windows mobile 5.0... is that such a big difference compared to 6.1???

Have you tried TouchPal?
It might take some time getting use to it, but once you do.. you can type one hand operated real fast.

Well today I decided to go with a 700... then after work when I got back from a client, I decided to keep my 6800... why..

I do POS systems for a living. I had a client who had wireless issues with his laptop on his network... so i took out my 6800 and i was able to troubleshoot the wifi... that right there was a great feature.


Text messaging, im getting used to it... but the response time seems a lil slow and lagged for me is all, thats my main concern

Try a different input method...when talking proper English TENGO THUMB was a favorite of mine. Not everyone thought so, but I liked it

Try actually paying attention while you're driving before you kill someone. I'm sure your text messages are more important than other people's lives.

Have you considered one of the many Blackberry models and plans?

It just seems you aren't making good use of the capabilities of a WM PPC.
For me, I NEED the conveniences of the USB chargeing and Activesync, Wifi, Excel, and now GPS.
If texting is one of your biggest conserns, then theres many standard phones that have full keyboards. My wife uses Verizon's enV because of the easy texting. The Voyager sounds right up your alley too.

Treos always seemed to be one step away from a smart phone to me, anyway.

Maybe you should wait for the 800w to come out. By then, you might choose to keep your 6800 or you can get the 800w.

LOL Grow up fellas, yet you are the moron who is driving and texting. Who said trying to make an idiot who is texting when HE SHOULD BE DRIVING means I am unhappy with my life? I tell ya what FELLA, I will grow up when you get some brains. As for your little info, do a damn search. Hey, maybe you can do the search while your fat *** is eating, while texting, changing the radio station and trying to get your head out of your ***!
