I have the ROM update that was supposed to fix the bluetooth volume problem but it didn't. The bluetooth headset is virtually useless you are locked in a closet somewhere with zero noise. In addition the phone's touchpad is constantly needing re-calibrated. It's an OK PDA and I really like the little keyboard but there is no control key so you can't do things like type a website name and press [ctrl]+[enter] to have it automatically convert WHATEVER to www.WHATEVER.com, very annoying.

I use it about equally for both and even without a bluetooth headset (which I know I need to get), its still fantastic.

One of the XV6700 "cons" can be easily overcome. In a recent <a href="http://www.mobiletechroundup.com/?p=49" rel="nofollow">MobileTechRoundup podcast</a>, our Freeware of the Show was SearchToday.
