Verizon Wireless XV6900

Pros: Size, Color, battery life, user interface, design, call quality, price

Cons: You need some Third Party Software to make the most of the device, Small Screen, Touch Sensitivity isn't always perfect

Summary: I purchased this Device the day it came out. It has replaced my first generation Moto Q, which I loved (I originally purchased the XV6700 but took it back after a week to exchange it for the Q. When I first started playing with it, I was ready to pack it back up and wait for the Moto Q9c. However, due to the way the device looked, I "wanted" to like it so I played around with it for several hours. These hours were frustrating and for the first time ever, I actually was required to read the book that came with the phone.

Now, I love this phone. I have downloaded PointUI which changes the default interface; now its great! I also Downloaded PCM Keyboard to help with texting, etc. I am a business user; my main purpose for a phone is e-mail and texting with some internet useage. The phone serves all of my purposes. I am not one of those that purchased this device to compete with my iphone friends. I purchased this device without any expectation and am now blown away.

Internet is blazing fast, call quality beats some of my previous phone phones and everyone that plays with it thinks its a very "sexy" device.

I'll continue to play around with it and update the review if something tragic is discovered.

Buy this phone but give yourself several days to play with it; it'll be worth it.

I am sure as time continues, there will be more 3rd party software to make this device even better. There are some out there that want their "toys" to come factory the way they want them. I am not one of these users. If you are willing to spend the time to customize this device for you, I am sure you'll love it.
