I wouldn't say it is major...but somewhat improved. Honestly, I think the best thing I did to improve the phone experience was I bought a noise canceling Moto H12 headset.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 1:52 PM, Justin Carlson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:justin.carlson@gmail.com">justin.carlson@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I had a 6700 and did the same thing hoping for some drastic change but found it to be trivial or no different from changing the volume bar to max.<br>
<br>
I'd be interested to hear if you see a major improvement with the 6800.<br>

I'll put them on the list (when I can find them again :-( ) in case anyone else gets a 6800. Sorry, but I went looking today and all I can find is my reg restore files (for undoing the changes). I'm going to have to check through my registry to find some of them.<br>
<br>
This is the only one I can find right now, but it's probably the one you want most:<br>
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]<br>
"Vol"=dword:0000ffff*<br>
<br>
*That should increase your phone volume.<br>

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

The 6600, 6700, & 6800 have all been quiet on calls. A good set<br>
of hax can fix anything! I don't know how USCC's prices compare<br>
but the sprint everything plans (not to be confused with simply<br>
everything) are a pretty good price. My wife get's 450 min/mo &<br>
unlimited data/text/pic/vid/gps/SprintTV for just under $60/mo w/<br>
my 18% discount.... I've heard USCC has better EVDO coverage in<br>
DSM now than anyone else though.... Seriously, if you like the<br>
6800 do some looking around @ <a href="http://howardforums.com" target="_blank">howardforums.com</a><br></div>
<<a href="http://howardforums.com" target="_blank">http://howardforums.com</a>> and <a href="http://ppcgeeks.com" target="_blank">ppcgeeks.com</a> <<a href="http://ppcgeeks.com" target="_blank">http://ppcgeeks.com</a>> You should be able to find help hacking the phone up to WM6.1<div class="Ih2E3d">
<br>
w/GPS (no hax necissary on sprint for this). Also, I have some<br>
good registry edits and such that can help with the voice call<br>
volume. Personally, if you go with sprint or USCC's looking at<br>
getting it, wait for the Touch Pro (next up from the 6800)...it<br>
looks VERY nice! Also, is the BB Storm that new one VZW has<br>
that's the first touchscreen BB? Check reviews online...it's<br>
gotten horrible reviews from gizmodo and the like if I recall.<br>
