color=#0000ff size=2>I'm in Mason City and have 4 phones on my plan w/USCC so
I'm kinda committed to them right now. I heard the Blackberry Storm is in
testing but it could still be months. I think I'm going to get the 6800
($200 after $70 rebate) for now so I would appreciate any registry
changes/fixes/hacks and any other useful stuff. I have been searching the
net and found mostly good and some bad (usually the volume or slow data
connection) reviews. You can email directly the fixes to the email
below. I've also found some useful hacks/fixes but would feel more
confident using something you've tried and found to be good.

And now for something...completely different.<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>The 6600, 6700, & 6800 have all been quiet on calls. A good
set of hax can fix anything! I don't know how USCC's prices compare but
the sprint everything plans (not to be confused with simply everything) are a
pretty good price. My wife get's 450 min/mo & unlimited
data/text/pic/vid/gps/SprintTV for just under $60/mo w/ my 18%
discount.... I've heard USCC has better EVDO coverage in DSM now than
anyone else though.... Seriously, if you like the 6800 do some looking
around @ <A href="http://howardforums.com">howardforums.com</A> and <A
href="http://ppcgeeks.com">ppcgeeks.com</A> You should be able to find
help hacking the phone up to WM6.1 w/GPS (no hax necissary on sprint for
this). Also, I have some good registry edits and such that can help with
the voice call volume. Personally, if you go with sprint or USCC's looking
at getting it, wait for the Touch Pro (next up from the 6800)...it looks VERY
nice! Also, is the BB Storm that new one VZW has that's the first
touchscreen BB? Check reviews online...it's gotten horrible reviews from
gizmodo and the like if I recall.<BR>
