new XV6800

[Lateadopter]

My XV6800 arrived yesterday. I know this phone has been around a few years, but I wanted a smart phone with wifi that I didn't need to have a data package with. I have a few questions. First should a continue using the mw 6.1 that came on the phone or can I upgrade to 6.5. Second, verizion is telling me that micrsd will only support up to 4gb. Is this true, or can I buy a 8gb or 16gb?

What else should I look to change on this phone to make it run at its full potential?

thanks

First, be careful with how you connect with email and such. If you're not careful it will connect via data and you will have a large bill without knowing it.
I have an eight GB microsd in mine with no problems.

Also any size microsd card will work in your phone

Get to know WM 6.1 and your device before you decide to make the jump to 6.5. You may find out that WM 6.1 will suit you just fine. Another thing to be aware of with the 6800 is that its memory is somewhat limited, I believe you have a total of 64MB and a portion of that is occupied by your OS. Two things will help you deal with this. First, install whatever you can to your card (those apps that run at startup must be installed to your device) and second, get and use a good cleanup app. Junk files eat up more space than you know. MemMaid and SK Tools are both excellent for this.
