With Verizon trying to revolutionize network technology, it’s coming up with some great mobile phones lately. The latest phone released to the market is the Verizon XV6800. It looks more like mini me version of a notebook computer, but extremely portable in nature.
There was much controversy regarding the release of this particular Verizon handset. Folks were not quite sure whether the mobile is going to go for production or not. As of now you can pre-order the phone for a whopping $249. I think after iPhone, this Verizon gadget is making the headlines.
Finally, the long wait for XV6800 is over. The announcement of the the Verizon phone release was made in tandem with the Samsung SCG-i760. The neat Verizon phone opens a new chapter in the mobile phone industry.
It’s sophisticated design, 2.0 mega pixels camera/ camcorder , QWERTY keyboard, as well as the USB ports pretty much make this mobile a personal computer. You can even get blue tooth along with it. The speakers and headsets can convert this baby to an office on the road. All I know is that my next 250 bucks is going to go towards this mini computer. At least I will be able to check my emails and surf the web on the run.

The XV-6800 is the Verizon version of the Sprint Mogul. They are next generation follow-ups of the 6700. Sprint and Verizon use the CDMA operating system so their versions, both made by HTC should be very similar.
I have been trying to decide is I really want a Mogul, but pulled back when I found so many comments about sluggish performance and system crashes. It has a very ”middle of the road” 400mHz processor and limited free RAM when in operation. Also, the gurus have decided that the next generation HTC phone where the screen tilts (available at AT&T in the US) means that this innovation will inevitably supplant the simple slider.
That said, this WM6 phone comes with one of pretty much everything and if you like the Windows mobile OS this is one of the most capable phones available.
