UTStarcom PPC-6700 / XV-6700 / HTC Apache

I am lookin at this phone (UTStarcom PPC-6700 / XV-6700 / HTC Apache), but I am confused by the offerings from Sprint and Verizon. First, is the phone identical other than the color or are there other differences?

Second, other than coverage areas, what are the service differences? It seems like Sprint offers a lot more than Verizon in terms of television offerings, music, etc.

Third, why is the telephone $100 MORE at Sprint than at Verizon?

Fourth, are the differences in "broadband" coverage areas significant? I assume data transmission speeds are the same on each network.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Early results with POP3 to my home mail server (Linux/Dovecot) were good. Then one day the phone decided it wasn't going to show me any new messages. Existing mail in my inbox was still visible, but nothing new. So I switched to IMAP4. Again, early results were good, then one day I had no mail at all in my inbox! Next day I had half my messages. Then no mail again. Then all my messages. Then none of them. Etc. I haven't been able to make much sense of it. Each time it "rediscovers" the contents of my inbox, most messages are marked "unread" again, which is also annoying. I've looked through every setting I can find, no joy. I've got the "show last three days only" feature turned off.

Any ideas? Or any suggestions for Pocket ...

has anyone else expreienced only one half of the keyboard buttons lighting up red?? only my ride side buttons do..

Has anyone found a need for an extended battery? If yes, have you found a carrying case that fits or do you need to take the extended battery off to use the case?

I know there are different kinds of external batteries.

Has anyone used the external battery with the battery door and a case to fit?

Is there a black battery door to match the XV-6700 versus the silver one that mateches the PPC-6700?

How can I create a shortcut to access Sirius on my today screen?

hey friends,

Here the situation. I do not have an EVDO subscription. I have used the edit to use both phone/wifi. Now it will not let me send a SMS(text message) to an email address. Seems like it wants me to use outlook for that. Does anyone know of a work around? Is there a way I can trick it, if im using wi-fi?

thanks

Guys, I gotta tell you, I am starting to hate my phone. I think this thing is junk. If I press the power button for just a quarater of a millionth of a second too long, it turns the lcd off, then I can't see crap! The thing needs to be constantly rebooted. Verizon has horrible service, I can't hear anyone on the other end.

Verizon wants me to pay a fortune to switch, I wish I never went with them

Please give me some reassurance

Thanks

Does anyone know if you can use some sort of yahoo messenger or aol instant messenger program on the verizon wireless 6700? I know that it has pocket msn messenger but I dont use that service??? Thanks for the help...

I was wondering if it possible to use wireless data and talk on phone same time, if there is any registry edits out there? Help Please

My boss has been having some chronic problems lately with his XV6700. They all relate to the battery discharging rapidly. He said that he even had the phone charge overnight and was sure that it was charging. The next morning the phone reported that the battery was dead or nearly out of battery power.

He has called Verizon to see what the problem might be. They suggested that it could be a file or running process that is "eating" up the battery. It was even mentioned that is possible that is a virus. He asked if the phone could be scanned while connected to the USB cradle. Verizon didn't know if this could be done, or if any anti-virus software could be installed on it. I have never heard of any anti-virus software for mobile phones, but ...

can anyone tell me how come one of my yahoo accounts won't allow me to do anything on the 6700 it just has grey buttons that don't do anything but I can pull up one of my other accounts and they are fine.

I'm about to be your best friend.

Everyone wants to be able to use Microsoft Voice Commander wirelessly, without having to hold onto the unit and then transfer it to a wireless headset after you speak into the device. Well, I found a little Reg hack (and a program that'll do it for you) that does just that. It lets you speak right into your headset and control the Voice Commander software - even listen to music through your headset! You can read more about it here:

Here's how it plays out. I keep my 6700 in the belt clip case it comes with. When I want to activate a command or make a call, I reach down and turn ...

please give a hint on how to properly setup yahoo email settings for send/receive email syncronization? also, any experience on finding yahoo sites, similar to pg1.yahoo.com,but letting to open attachments? thanks a lot.

Ok, I ran the Wirless Sync program on the 6700 and set up my account (I already had a password from a previous phone). I set up Outlook with my POP3 account from Cox. I've gone to https://www22.wirelesssync.vzw.com/ and set up my phone and added my POP3 account.

Now, I've successfully got my mail pushed to my phone when I'm running the Wireless Sync Client on my PC, but my question is do I have to?

I was under the impression that all the settings on that webpage and having the Wireless Sync running on my 6700 would get my mail pushed to the phone without having to keep my PC running with the Sync Client on 24/7. Once I shut down the Sync Client on the PC, I don't get my mail pushed through anymore.

I realize I can set up a POP3 a...

I don't have this phone but I was wondering what kind of speakers did the phone have since I noticed it didint have Stereo speakers. Is it a pretty decent sound? I have the V now and I am thinking about trading it in within my 15 day period on this phone/pda.

Is there a way to backup your contact/phone list to a PC? Just running a normal sync copied the contacts FROM WinXP to the PPC instead of vice versa.

Thanks!

If anyone could explain these registry edit thing. I just bought the phone and i want to enable wifi and phone capabilities. The instructions don't make sense. I can't download a registry edit on the phone so how do i actully do it to the phone. How do i take it from my comp to my phone...anyone can help?...plz...thanks

Okay, So I have read all the threads about locking the phone and am still having problems.
I understand how to lock the phone and everything but maybe I am missing something. If I have my phone in my pocket and miss a call or get a text message then the screen is no longer locked for a short period of time and I end up calling someone again. Does anyone have any fixes for this??? Thanks

i spoke with a dude from verizon yestaday and he told me about some site that you could watch live t.v does anyone know of it. or anything that i can watch live t.v on.

So I get a phone call from my ex-girlfriend asking me why I sent her a text message saying I needed her to have some reports and have them ready by 9am this morning...

When actually that was an email I got last night from a business partner! I looked in the sent messages folder for "text messages" AND "Yahoo!" and it doesn't show it!!!!

What the hell is my phone doing? Anybody else get these kind of problems?

The only registry tweak I did was attempt to turn of the notification when sending a SMS, which I STILL can't get working on my PPC-6700.

Today it was okay, but if it was in reverse, something a (ex)girlfriend sends me being forwarded without knowledge to a business partner or client, it could cost me.
