Dude, you can fucking put WinMo 6.1 on your 6700. http://ppckitchen.org/ is the site that lets you cook your phone to 6. I've been running it for 6+ months with far less problems than before.

As for the differences, the 6800 has a few nice features. You can power the damn thing completely off, and some other minor features. Its smaller and lighter. But I don't see any reason to upgrade myself. Mine works just fine. And I like having a full stylus instead of that shitty little tiny collapsible stylus in the 6800. I will wait for the next generation before I upgrade; or if the boss gives us Blackberry Thunder in the fall.

this shit should be locked - especially after your 1 reply shit thread you made before where this post could have gone - or the thread i linked to in the other thread....

but alas...
^ it has built-in gps - that alone makes it worth the upgrade for a lot of people

as far as user experience though nighthawk is correct - for the most part you can run the same OS and apps

It has built in gps? is there a monthly fee for it? or do you need a data plan for it?

you should read up more on gps

yes - no (unless you subscribe to some stupid monthly map service) - no (but recommended so you can use google maps and whatnot)

How do I get the gps working? I'm going mad been searching online for days.. I'm not able to find a torrent for garmin xt.. they all seem to symbian versions... someone suggested tom tom which version do I get? also is teh gps port locked or something? whenver I use google maps or live search it tries dialing a data connection(and doesnt use the active wi fi connection).. I want to load all the maps on my fone and use the gps..

read the titan forums at ppcgeeks.com - they have a bunch of tutorials for people that have no idea what they are doing

also gps isn't enabled unless you at least have a 3.xx rom - an official one was just released by htc/sprint less than 2 weeks ago - go to htc's website to upgrade to the latest
