It's not hard to initiate a call on a XV6700 pocket pc one-handed, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be too difficult on a device that has a screen which isn't recessed half an inch into the device (makes corner and edge taps nearly impossible without the stylus.)]]>Apr 16th 2008 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/Apr 16th 2008 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/

1. When I place a call after a few seconds the display switches from keypad to another screen entirely. Usually about this time I am prompted by the voice mail system to press another key - the problem is I am no longer on the keypad screen and must locate and press another key to get back there - ridiculous! Especially when I am driving...

2. During extended calls I always manage activate the TV somehow and this switches the screen orientation to landscape. Then I need to go into the control panel and switch it back.

Please fix these 2 issues and I will love the phone. It is the perfect size IMO. almost identical to Razr. ]]>Apr 16th 2008 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/Apr 16th 2008 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/

I think the codename is an "elfin" instead of an "elf" because it's CDMA with I think a faster processor...]]>Apr 16th 2008 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/
More RAM too, 128MB if I recall.

The horsepower makes this thing attractive, as does Verizon's EVDO coverage when compared to AT&T's HSDPA coverage.

But that's about all, at least out of the box. Not sure I'm adventurous enough to play with hacked ROMs, but any who are might have a really good device on their hands, if they're into the touchscreen-only thing.]]>Apr 16th 2008 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/Apr 16th 2008 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/Apr 16th 2008 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/16/verizon-xv6900-finally-available-for-order/

1. Keyboards aren't great. - PCM Keyboard is a great substitute.
2. Windows Media Player Mobile isn't touch friendly - Some one had the foresight to make a touch friendly HTC skin that works great. Search for Install_HTC_Skin_QVGA.cab on google. You can also try S2P, it's a pretty good touch oriented music player. Lacks play lists and a few other things.
3. The calculator isn't very touch friendly. SPB's website has a great black calculator skin that goes with the HTC themed phone.
4. HTC Home screen is sluggish at times. I personal run Pointui on top of it. Point ui is very customizable and touch friendly. I don't use my stylus too much any more.
5. The last thing that annoys me is the browser, IE Mobile sucks. Some better browsers will be coming out later this year. Opera isn't bad but cost 30 bucks. If you can stomach IE for a few more months you may want to wait.

Here are a few websites where I found some great apps.
