Scott- up there in CT, when are you eligible for upgrade to this? My contract says November but Verizon says they also offer specials to good customers. The rep said even if you buy at full price you need to maintain your existing contract on the 6700 or pay the cancellation fee on that as well. What I saw bad about the 6800 was the little rocker button was gone. I use that and will miss it.
Just thought I'd update this. The recent Verizon branded specs I have seen left out the second "skype" camera. Not a huge disappointment as I would hardly use one by present day practice, but I thought it was a really forward thinking concept.
Visit PDAPhoneHome.COM they have a lot of stuff on the 6700 and how to get the most out of it.
In addition I suggest a firmware update from pccgeeks.com there are lots available, they are tweeked and have many of the programs folks have on their 6700. I like the Colonels 3.5 roms myself. This gives you a top notch performing phone with many tools and programs you would want.
There are others available there besides the Colonels, just check the features of each to find the one that contins the programs you want (Go to ppcgeeks.com and click on the APACHE section)

I'm running BigJ's 1.1r reloaded ROM. It's great, and has most of the stuff I want in ROM as opposed to having to load it.
(From PPCGeeks.com as Scott notes above).
I'm using his Sprint version.

Depends on what operating system you on.
On Windows XP you need ActiveSync.
On Windows Vista you need Windows Mobile Device Center
You can download both at Microsoft Windows Mobile - Smartphone and Pocket PC Software with ActiveSync

Ok, one more question hopefully. When I sync it doesn't pick up my contacts from Outlook or Outlook Express. What do I need to do to sync them. My phone has none right now and I want all of them moved over.
Edit: Never mind, this stupid thing......I had to take the phone out of the cradle and put it back in before it would sync the contacts.

It will only sync from Outlook.
Go into active sync and go to options and you can check what you want to sync.

Yeah I did that. I had to take it out of the cradle and then put it back in before it would do it. Stupid isn't it?
Down on the bottom left corner there is a little hole, use your stylus or a paper clip to press the button in there, which is the reset button.

I thought that might be the way to do it, but I didn't want to wipe everyting by accident. Thanks.
I had this idea about 3 years ago and I talked it up at CES to every PDA accessory maker I could find. Today a company makes this.
It is a stylus that has a built in ball point pen. I just bought a couple and they are great. One end is a stylus, the other is a small ball point pen.
Often when out and about, I find a need for a pen and forgot to carry one. Now my stylus doubles as a pen!
I know they make this for the XV6700 but not sure about other PDA's. My wife is wanting one for her Treo now.

Got a link to the one for the 6700? I could use one.
