6800 wifi is b/g. while the 6700 is just b.
GPS evdo rev. A gives u download speed like twice as fast in some areas. keyboard slides open much easier and smoother. ofiicial windows mobile 6 support it fits in ur pocket MUCH better. scrolling wheel is GREAT plus u can now see what all the hub-bub is about. i too miss my 6700, for some reason i just feel it was a more solid piece of equipment. (once u replaced it 3 times and finally got a good one.) but the 6800 has more features so i had to go with that. and i am very happy with the decision. |

Why settle for an obsoleted phone? The HTC Diamond Pro is comming to Sprint in 9/2/08. The 6700 has a few advantages over the 6800 in term of overclocking and video playback. The keyboard slideout for the 6700 is right handed people. The 6800 on the other hand has better custom ROM support and an internal GPS receiver. The stub antenna on the 6700 also boosts radio reception.

not to mention the Diamond is not going to be an insurance replacement. We all agree to get the Diamond but for now get the 68 since the Diamond isnt going to be out for a while on VZW.

I'm pretty sure you could get your 6800 free when you renew since you have the 6700 already and insurance.

Posted this a while back on PDAPhoneHome:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...-thoughts.html The 6800 flat-out rocks compared to the 6700. I loved the 6700 when I had it, but now I don't miss it at all. |

Based on all the feedback, I think I am going to go ahead and get the 6800 now and keep my eye on the price of the touch pro once it comes out. Thanks everyone. |
Re: Previous 6700 owners, please read and comment
You really should make the move. My 6600 died for the umpteenth timt hree weeks ago. Assurion attempted to replace it with the 6700 and twice the unit choked on my contacts. They sent me the 6800, new and for the first time since the SX56 came on the market 6 years ago, I AM PUMPED. The device is very smart. I set up my business email on the device without any special knowledge. It found the settings on its own, over the network.
By way of comparison, having carried the 6700 for a month cummulatively, the 6800 is much better. Having used the xv6600 for nearly 3 years I have to say that the 6700 was even a step backwards from that aged device. The 6700 processor was slower than the 6600 - maybe not in the ratings, but definiteely in performance. The 6600 screen is larger than the 6700. Sorry, you were asking about comparisons between the 6700 and 6800. I too was waiting for the touch pro but Verizon is VERY slow to promise anything and I am defo glad I have the 6800. After installing TotalCommander, a file explorer for PPC's I was able to get my ring-tones without having to purchase something through Verizon. I totally recommend Total Commander or whatever it is called for ANY PPC. Let me know what you decide. I have seen new xv6800's on ebay for around $225 and I would consider that money "well spent".
