XV6850 is the red-headed stepchild of Touch Pro's

I'm not sure what has me more annoyed.. the fact that Verizon and their crippling of devices.. or just the plain stupidity of the keyboard on this thing. Ya, people may call me a moron for not being able to get used to hitting the up arrow every time I'm trying to hit the M but the fact is, for someone who types over 140wpm on a normal QWERTY keyboard we don't think about having to relearn the process of typing again. Ya, I would maybe get used to it eventually but WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO.

But that isn't alll... not only is the keyboard a constant PITA, but I now have to deal with knowing that EVERYONE ELSE has DOUBLE the amount of RAM I do. Where I'm stuck constantly refreshing and rebooting (like on my 6800), everyone else has the luxury of not having to worry about it.. with the same phone!

But wait, that's not all! I can't use Google Maps and Live Search GPS or any other 3rd party gps program because Verizon likes lockin' their phones down so people pay them money for their crappy software... Granted, there might be other ROMs developed eventually that crack this but that pushes me into my next gripe!

ROM support.... The fact is, the xv6850 is the red-headed stepchild of the Touch Pros. For enthusiasts, there are very few who have gotten this phone and the support for ROM development is MINIMAL compared to the other versions of the phone. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of my headache so I'm gettin' rid of this thing.


/bye BIG RED! Ebay, u can have my XV6850... I just ordered a Fuze.
