Sprint Vision PPC-6700 Smartphone

Pros: Never be without Internet access again! Great form factor!
Cons: Sprint service centers suck and my first PPC-6700 continually crashed.

As I've alluded in recent reviews, December and January have been very busy and very stressful months for me. I suffered the loss of someone close to me in December, and work was driving me nuts. When I went with a friend to the Sprint store on our ...

Pros: Internet almost anywhere, very powerful device.
Cons: Battery life, terrible reception in bad weather.

I bought this device primarily as a means to trade FOREX (foreign exchange) during the day at work using the mobile Metratrader 4.0 Platform. Being that this was my primary reason for purchase this review is limited to what I have used the device for. ...

Pros: Amazingly small. Well laid out, highly customizable. WiFi and EVDO are must haves.
Cons: Stylus falls out easily, like the headset, is like MISSION IMPOSSIBLE to replace. Friggin' pricey.

Intro: Just when you thought it was safe to commit to a pda platform, Palm edges out of the market. Those of us struggling with whether to buy a Treo 650, a Blackberry 7250, or one of the many windows mobile 2003 tile phones, just got a new (and better) ...

Pros: Small. Full PDA function.
Cons: Like most phones now, it's a little fragile in feel.

I had purchased and used the Sprint PPC-6700 by UTStarcom for over 3 months now. There are some minor hiccups but nothing insurmountable. Overall, I love this little thing that I'd bought to replace my Hitachi G1000. To start with, it IS the size of ...

Pros: Great functionality, touch screen and wi-fi advantage over newest smart phones.
Cons: Bigger than most phones, bad battery life, occasionally freezes.

Let's face it, the Audiovox PPC 6700 is not a new phone. In fact, it's pretty old considering the new lightweight smart phones that have been released such as the Motorola Q and the Dash, etc. So why am I writing this review? Because this phone works ...

Pros: Relatively compact, slide out keyboard, great functionality with office
Cons: Speaker phone, external side buttons, intermittent web issues.

I upgraded from an HP4100 series PDA and I am happy that I did. It is so convenient to have my phone and PDA in one device. I still do not like that Microsoft will not let you set up more than 2 full partnerships but other than that connecting the ...

Pros: Every possible feature you could want. Looks great and has a high quality feel.
Cons: Speakerphone quality very poor. Difficult to dial while driving without smudging the touch screen.

I tried out the PPC-6700 Sprint Vision Smartphone for the weekend and found it to be one awesome product loaded with every feature possible. My favorite feature was the built in Wi-Fi that allowed me to use my wireless home network for email and light ...

Pros: Many applications available, bright screen, fast CPU, many connections, cool design, fast charging, good Wifi.
Cons: Too little storage, WM5 has many bugs, need to use "alt" too much on keyboard!

First, I've never used my PPC-6700 as a phone. I bought it from a friend without service (he had it canceled and I already had Verizon) and without a charger. I quickly found that a Mini-USB cable charges it and gives me access to its data. It and my ...

Pros: Great resolution /windows mobile functions / touch screen / outlook sync
Cons: Doesnt work w/ Sprint Picture Mail or SprintTV/MobiTV. Sprint Reps are clueless!

THE REALLY BAD: Waited for a month to get this phone for christmas and after 2 1/2 hours on hold with sprint over 2 day period found out that this phone is not compatiable with 2 very popular sprint services that I had on my previous phone that was 1/3 ...

Pros: If you need a PDA and internet access, this is the phone.
Cons: Phone is VERY clumsy to use. This is a PDA first and Phone 2nd.

I did all the research, played with a friends and now am an owner of Sprint's PPC-6700. In a word. WOW! This is where phones are headed. We're not quite there yet but, this phone comes close. The biggest thing you have to decide when thinking about ...

Pros: Compact, does EVERYTHING, Keyboard is amazing.
Cons: not the BEST antenna/signal

My Situation I actually own the Verizon XV6700; however, it is exactly the same phone. The phone is made by Audiovox, and they allow Sprint/Verizon to both sell it. The only physical difference is that the Version XV6700 is black ...

Pros: The all in one functionality is great.
Cons: The Microsoft ActiveSync has problems with synchronization.

Overall it is great. I used to drag the appointment book with, the notebook for meeting "highlights", the cell phone, the camera (sometimes a photo says more than words can ever describe), and the laptop. Now I just bring the PPC 6700. Seriously, it ...

Pros: Great as a PDA, cool factor of 10. Email .??? files.
Cons: Horrible as a cell phone.

I bought this phone from Sprint instead of the Treo 650 because it was a whole lot cooler. Windows Mobile 5.0 is really good. The form factor is like out of "Back to the future." The processor speed is sufficient. Apps run fairly quickly, but in ...

Pros: Clickable with your finger, slide out keyboard, audio and video recording capability.
Cons: Stylus is easy to lose, one touch buttons are annoying.

You can send pictures from this phone if you have their @sprintpcs.com address. You are still sending it from your Hotmail or Outlook account, but it will deliver the message to their Sprint phone. You can also use the web browser on the phone to log ...

Pros: Memory Expansion, fast streaming video, Compact, Photo, StereoMP3,Video, voiceDial,WiFi,Bluetooth,GreatTomTomGPS
Cons: Be prepared for recharge if you use bluetooth AND WiFi all day long.

Steady use for more than two weeks. Leagues above my previous PDAs, Phones, and PDA-Phones. Battery life as good as you'd expect from a powerful device. Turn off Bluetooth and WiFi when not needed, and battery lasts most of the day. Has bluetooth, WiFi, EvDO, and with a 1 gig minisd card (got one for $50), this device will make your laptop feel neglected. Get TomTom and the inexpensive Pharos Bluetooth GPS, and you will not use your car's built-in GPS ever again.
