Rumor: Finally early March Verizon XV6900

[nytoy]

I was pressuring the verizon rep on the phone because of all the problems I've been having with my xv6800(titan) with BT and reception. The rep admitted that if I have 30 days to return my 6800 and I told him my 30 days its up in march 6th, he said go ahead with return. Basically the Touch looks like the answer to my prayers, same processor but with TONS more memory, the Touch flies!! I was playing with it at Sprint and can't WAIT for this phone to come out with Verizon!! Any Mogul converts???

did i miss something or what does this have to do with your title?

[nytoy]

the XV6900 = the Touch

There are A LOT of people who had the Mogul and switched to the Touch when it came out ~5 months later. I was one of them and couldn't be happier. Haven't encountered any major issues, nor any memory full errors.

ohhh! the Verizon rep told you. missed that part. man my bday is march 4th and gps around that time would be a great gift!

I switched from a Mogul to a Touch and I don't regret it for a second.
It's FAST, and it's got a great form factor, better call quality, louder/clearer speaker, better camera, etc.

I have unlimited data for $15 and I stream TV all day and surf the net, it's great!

i switch from the mogul to the touch now im back to the mogul. not having a keyboard sucks. and mine has never got stuck and i browse the internet all day watch tv in my truck at nights and text a lot. push email works all day. wouldnt go back to the touch.

what do you guys mean a better cam? they are both 2mp

Ok, glad you like your mogul more, but honestly really what did you add to this thread? The guy didn't ask who likes the Mogul or the Touch more. He has "some" experience with the Touch and feels he likes it more. I'm not trying to be rude, but it always seems the Mogul folks are out trying to prove their phone is better? I'm sure the Touch folks do the same... Just trying to stop it. Anyways you are right, the camera's are the same. So any ones experience with a camera on one being better than the other is all the placebo effect or one camera was not set right, broken, etc.

As far as the topic at hand, How reliable are VZW reps? Only VZW rep I talked to was incompetent. I highly doubt they'll release it with rev. A & GPS, as with the XV6800 / Mogul they didn't release it with rev. A / GPS when it came out right?

this guy was younger and knowledgeable, he took the time to search his INTRAnet and came up with a few files on the XV6900 and they were "locked" so he couldn't open them, so this guy was obviously telling me the truth, or so it seemed. He told me other stories about how they are the last to know like with the Voyager and basically said most releases are on monday. He searched a couple places and I talked to him for 15-20mins and he was pretty cool, that's all I can tell ya. Anyways this thread has made me feel better about switching over to the Touch, I don't mind the lack of keyboard and never use the wi-fi.

I switched from a Mogul to a Touch, and am quite happy with the swap. The 2 Mogul showstoppers for me were unusable BT audio and roaming freezes. The Touch has neither problem for me.

I do miss the keyboard, but am now at the point where I can function about as well with the softkeyboards (try all of them, see which you like best - I like TouchPal, but YMMV).

I never used WiFi on my Apache or Mogul, so that is a non-issue to me. I did sometimes have memory issues with Mogul, never with Touch :=)

I get slightly better reception on the Touch (apples-apples comparison in same office building), and battery lasts longer too.

So ... for me, with the exception of still missing the hard keyboard a bit, the Touch is working out quite well.
