UTStarcom XV6700

Well after deciding that I wanted to go the PDA route for a phone I picked up this one. This is by far one of the better purchases I have made.

Pros
****
-Full slide out QWERTY keyboard
-Great Screen
-Windows Mobile 5
-Great Contact List, To-Do
-Full access to text, picture messages and Email
-Easily sync's up with Desktop/Laptop Computer

Cons
****
-Size and weight can be a pain to get used to if you are used to a smaller more nimble phone
-Unable to be use wireless signal and phone at same time-right out of box.

This is the phone that is able to take care of all your needs. Any known issues with it are easy to fix and get around with a few quick and easy registry changes. Making the phone able to use wireless and phone at same time, adjusting volume output of speaker, using phone for modem for internet access either via USB connection or Bluetooth.

I would have to highly recommend this phone for anyone who is looking for a Windows based device and phone all wrapped up into one. The internet is fast through the Verizon digital and EVDO network, easy to use phone!

i really like the phone. the only thing is that it did not come with a user guide and this is my first pda. just trying to get use to using it.

Our daughter shattered her cell phone and needed a replacement. A techie recommended the XV6700 and ebay provided an efficient way to locate a quality "like new" phone. This was our first transaction on ebay and paypal and it was relatively easy to complete. The phone was exactly as promised and the user LOVES it. We choose "buy it" which surprised the seller. Having earlier gotten outbid at a price well over the "buy it now" price this method just seemed easier. My only dislike is the time to actually receive the purchase. Next time a purchase is made, special handling may be more practical. This purchase was very painless.

I broke my old cell phone and it was a discontinued model. I did not like the replacement so I was able to find my exact model on e-bay. I bid on two to have an extra in case I needed it. It was a all around good experience.

The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. My only complaint is that the menu system on the phone makes you click four times before you can find someone in the address book, set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.

the phone was in very good condition and has not given me any problems. It was not banged up at all. The owner took very good care of it. I hope I can do the same. I love the windows mobile because I prefer the windows interface and the ease of use the keyboard gives me. The camera is unbelievable and takes great pictures.

I bought the UTStarcom XV6700 about two months ago to replace an older Samsung with no real features. Setup was a breeze and I brought it to the Verizon store to get reactivated, no hiccups there either. Watch out though, I had no plans on getting a data package with the phone (Internet access) and they added it to my plan without telling me, just because the phone had the capability (~$50 a month). I am not sure how well it works; I cancelled that feature when I got last month’s bill.

The phone is loaded with great features and is easy to learn. The Today screen (the default view) is relatively customizable, and features like calendar display the days events and may make the front page overwhelming if you write a lot on the calendar. There are free programs out there to add features, such as adobe reader. The version for windows mobile 6 works great.

I use the phone mainly as a phone and day planner, but I do store papers that I am writing on the device. Word works great and makes it easy to continue working on papers away from my computer. Adding a memory stick is a must! Documents and the lot can fit on the phones internal memory, but I also carry around music on the phone, which would not fit normally.

Overall I give the phone a 4/5. I love it to death, but there are a few things that could be better. People sound quiet and become hard to hear in any noisy environment when used as a phone. The original battery lasts FOREVER (even when playing music)! I bought an extended battery and have yet to use it. The phone features could be better. It requires using the stylus to type in numbers; my fingers are too big to push the buttons easily. I found the user manual helpful and active sync is a must. The first time I plugged the phone into my computer the time was adjusted to fit the new daylight savings time schedule. The phone is well worth the money (and is cheaper than a regular phone).

I researched this phone extensively before I bought it, so I loved it before I got it!!! The main reason I bought it is because it has wifi, it has good connectivity, and good range. It is also suprisingly quick for a handheld!!! Other than that it has all of the features that you would expect a cell phone to have. That being said it is a whole lot of phone for just anybody, I have a vast knowledge of computers, and electronics in general, and I still have problems remembering how to do things on it. If you a computer illiterate this phone is definately not for you!!! The slide out keyboard is a nice feature that provides plenty of room for people like me whom have fat fingers!!! I love this phone, it is comperable to an iphone, but with windows mobile you can add 3 party software which you cant do with an iphone!!! That is all I can think of, hope this helped!!!

it is a great product, it works great, it runs great, i love it. i can surf the web and use email and it is fantastic.

WOW I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU. THIS DEFINITELY WAS A GREAT ITEM AND FAST SHIPPING I AM GONNA DO MORE BUSSINESS WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE

This phone is amazing. It is easy to use, though it takes a little getting used to when you are used to the traditional flip phone that is just a phone. Has tons of useful programs, microsoft word, excel,and you can get internet if you want it. I use it for everything. The only negatives are that the battery only lasts about a day with normal use, less if talk a lot, but that is expected with a PDA. Since it is basically a hand held computer, it does have tendency to freeze up like a regular computer if overloaded. I've only had it freeze a couple of times and it's not a big deal. Overall, I love it.

The palm features on this phone are amazing I am very pleased w/the uses I can do with it. I can put my excel and word documents on it which is a big help for my job. However, I find it very cumbersome(sp) to use the phone features of the phone....touching the screen to dial becomes annoying (although there are voice commands you can teach the phone) and text msgs are a pain as well, nice to be able to type on a QWERTY but annoying features such as (message sent) every time you send a text becomes a pain as well as a battery waster. As far as battery life goes i'm not too impressed w/that either....when I use it for my documents it is fine but as soon as a call is made it drains it right down....on a good note, connecting wi-fi is real nice when in hotel rooms or a local wireless lan access point....(dont need a cell service provider to do that either).

Overall I would say this is a good palm tool for a business minded person but as far as a social person, I would not recommend it.

easy to work with will buy from again i decided to buy this item because it was a good price and i could buy it easily will definately buy from this seller again

I bought the phone for my girlfriend,so we could keep in touch while I worked out of town.I have pda. the phone was completely broken. tried to contact seller more tha once, he refused to talk to me as soon as he new I wanted my money back. contacted ebay, they have done nothing, no im out 172.00. got screwed on this one. watch out folks don't buy it if you can't touch it will never shop on ebay again, neither will my family. will be sure to spread the word.that's right im pissed, you would be to.

The xv6700 is a great business tool! i have absolutely nothing bad to say about this phone, other than the reception is not as good as my old LG... but o well, i can survive! i think this model is even better than the xv6800... but yes, this phone rocks.

this pc phone can do everything, I havn't found any thing I don't like! It's like night and day frome the treo. it can record video, pic's with 8x zoom! I had A treo for 2yrs. this phone is a hell of alot better! just check out the reveiws for your self!! Google it!

Excellent transaction. Seller forgot to provide a USB cord...After notifying the seller, I had a new USB cord sent to me like 3 days later. Pefect Transaction.

The product was shipped out in a timely manner.
Product is in excellent condition. The seller included several valuable extras and was very responsive to messages.

I had this for a month and went back to my old phone(lg8300). A minor issue is the size. With the extended battery, which is almost necessary, it's a tank. But the REAL problem is the lock-ups. I turn the phone off. I turn it back on. The VZW screen appears. The Windows Mobile screen then appears. And sits. AND SITS.
Also, you can be in the middle of a basic process such as checking your contacts, and it will freeze(happened to me). Then you have to pop out the battery and repower the player. And it will likely sit. Some people I know who have newer smartphones don't have to deal with this.
Overall I'd say just buy a normal flip/bar/slide phone and buy a pda on the side because if your smartphone locks up that means you can NOT make calls.

I like the fact that it does everything you need it to on the go, the only downfall is that while it does everything, it cannot keep up with itself, and freezes up - have to do a soft-reset to get it to function again. I bought it, because it am never home, always traveling, had it a month, and sold it.

Phone is kinda funky but it works. Came with speedy delivery and the seller is extremely available

Would do business again.

Phone has lots of features and I really enjoy the wi-fi. Phone convo could be better, often the touch screen opens other programs while you are talking on the phone and will even disconnect you. Layout, texting etc are all great the only downer is the accidental hang up stemming from your ear touching the screen sometimes.

I could not be more happy with this purchase! The XV6700 is a fantastic phone with full PocketPC capabilities. There is a LOT of information available on the Web on way to make this phone perform even better. I fought getting a phone/pim device for a long time. I'm glad I finally took the plunge!

Great phone, takes a while to get use to. I was a bit sceptical when they said the credit card machine was not working but I sent them the money order and recieved my phone a few days later. I had a technical difficulty recieving calls and I emailed the sellers and the sent me a setting on the phone that cleared it up
