San Diego Daily Transcript Reviews Verizon's XV6600

"I've been trying out the new Audiovox VX6600 from Verizon. It's a Microsoft Pocket PC PDA with a phone equipped with EV-DO high-speed wireless. It's Microsoft's latest challenge to the hugely popular Treo 650 from PalmOne. The VX6600 ($550 from Verizon/$399 from Amazon) packs a lot into a relatively compact package that's 15 percent larger and a half-ounce heavier than the Treo 650. It has a large color screen and a slide-out membrane thumb keyboard. (The phone is also available from Cingular as the Siemens SX66 for $399, but without the high-speed technology). It comes with a charging cradle and a cheesy slipcase."
It's always good to read balanced reviews from the "regular press", and, product name typo aside, this is a pretty decent summary of the XV6600's advantages and disadvantages. If you've been eyeing this unit, take a look at the review.
