Okay, so I finally got my phone yesterday morning! I got on my pc today to install the needed software on my PC...it won't let me. It says that I need Windows 200 or XP to be able to install and run the programs. What should I do about this? I'll have Windows XP when I get my new PC, but that's about 5 months away!!

The new Activesync (4 and 4.1) requires XP (with at least SP1). One thing you "could" try is getting a hold of an older version of activesync (like 3 or 3.5) and installing that.
NOTE : The 6700 was designed to use Activesync 4 and 4.1. You may some across some problems if you use an older version. But it is worth a shot.
If you try this, REMEMBER, do NOT put all yout valuable information into the device just yet. This is so that in the unlikely event you have to perform a hard reset to recover the 6700, you will lose all your info.
Good luck. Post here if you have any problems or questions.
Oh, yeah, do a google search for an older version of activesync. I think download.com has one. Good luck !
- Thanks !

Looks like you're SOL. Sorry.

Yeah... Unfortunately the older version works, but my PC won't even read that the device is there... It's just an old p.o.s... It's aiight, though. I get my new PC in two weeks... Thanks for all the help, though.
