XV6800
Verizon a little while ago released an update to the XV6800 to upgrade the OS to Windows Mobile 6.1 and EV-DO Rev. A capability among other improvements.
I have created an walkthrough video on how to update your phone and a mini review of the improvements of Windows Mobile 6.1. I have also provided the link to the update. Click to view the video and comment.

Some Drawbacks
Feel very behind overall compared to the new mobile OSes such as Android, Blackberry and min OS X. Microsoft need to get on the ball and catch up by release Windows Mobile a whole lot sooner than later.
This recent delay doesn’t help much at all as everyone else is pulling out all the big stuff while they sit here and wait. Hopefully Windows Mobile 7 will be the big leap they need to get back in this.
Let me know what you think.
