Any news on the new BT, keyboard, gps (yeah right), alarm, revA ROM update?

FYI - keyboard works in Live Search with the Alltel ROM....

That's bluetooth on, wifi on part of the day, tons of calls placed, EAS (Direct Push). Let all not forget what this phone is doing internally. This ain't your mamma's Nokia.

It's like a car: the more horsepower, the more gas it eats.

Doubtful! If so you should sell it for $2,000 because yours is the only one that works like that.

That is unless of course your batterieS last all day because one battery ain't letting you do that. I can't turn on Wi-Fi for more than 10 mins and not have 20% drop off my battery automatically.

Then there's something wrong with your battery and/or phone.

I'm at 90% and have been running BT and Wifi all morning.

The keyboard problem is not with live search as live search works on other 6800 ROMS, it is a problem with the sprint 2.09.651.3 ROM and (I beleive) ALL .net cf2 apps.

Bluetooth headsets have mad issues reported in every other thread.

The memory leak is a side effect of software (htc home maybe?) that everyone complaining about it is all using. Many 6800 users have no "memory leak" (like me) and it is therefore not a 6800 issue.

My battery is fine as well.

Seriously, sprints ROM updates wont have anything to offer over a custom ROM. If you need your keyboard in .net apps that bad, flash Alltel (or Telus) OS.

Colonel,

That's great news.

I'd be pleased to go back to WM5 if it had a functioning BT audio stack, SDHC drivers and more program memory avail.

Sprint never adequately supported the 6700 - thus far, they're on the same track with the 6800.

ebmorgan,

LOL - good joke about "what's the issue with BT".

Your 6800 sounds truly unique. You are fortunate to have it.

I patched together an nbh from a dump of alltel WM5 and posted it in my section of the FTP. Note: If you flash this it will say "corrupt" and you will have to hard reset and use my titan_exitbl tool. If you note all 3 of those things it will work fine. I am running it now (as seen in sig). The RUU is in the same dir.

What benefit would/does this have over the stock ROM?
