It's not merely the difficulty of using this as a phone that makes this a horrible smart phone. It's not merely the horrible battery life or ridiculous size/weight. Ultimately, it's the horrendous Windows Mobile UI and ridiculous amount of bugs throughout the system that makes this phone such a horrific experience. From randomly enabling "airplane mode" to suddenly locking up, to not allowing you to properly select text messages, to randomly being unable to make calls, the list goes on and on... this is the worst experience I've ever had with a fun. I feel a sincere hatred for this phone.

First off, if you buy a smart phone or pc phone it is NOT a CELL PHONE.
dont expect it to react as one. these are made to run applications and the phone is a toss in. If you bought this because the application feature is your second function...you are just the type of consumer who probably is riddled with debt from making poor purchasing decisions

OK - that said.

I got the 6700 about 2 years ago. I used it with the sprtint stuff for about a year. I was very disappointed. Not at MS, the OS is great the browser very good (compared to cell phones) but what sucked is NO PICTURE MAIL !!

it has a camera, even video but it is impossible to send a photo WTF??

Now for the kick butt part.

PPC GEEKS.

if you have this go to PPC GEEKS and down load a kitchen. you end up wiping out your entire phone and upgrading the OS, the application (you choose what is installed and where). I was in heaven

finally I can send pictures, I installed Opera, I got rid of the apps I never used, the games I couldnt give a snit about and put on my own. I put on a router , a wifi detector and more.

I know plug this in my cigarette lighter and fire up a net connection , turn on my router (yes the one in my phone...let see the iPhone do that), now I turn on my laptop and I have live internet on a 19 laptop. I download torrents now on my laptop as I drive and when I stop for the night..I have a good movie. Maps?? GPS ?? I can use the apps for this on myy PPC , windows live search is the best, just speak and it finds it.

I will say though I no longer travel as much so I dont really need a Smart Phone. I want the instinct but the browser is crap - it is samsungs - I will wait and see if they upgrade it to support opera. The instinct browser totally sucks.

the PPC supports firefox, opera and explorer. which means youtube and more on the phone.

This phone is horrible. I have now had to replace it a total of 4 times. I have always been very careful with my phone especially as it is a delicate phone. But it gets stuck, breaks easily, loses pieces easily. Now that is no longer being made I get refurbished phone that doesnt even have the same data and it has even more problems than before. I am currently on hold to get this fixed again and its now 43 minutes and 16 second hold time!!!!!!!!! I think I should just leave SPRINT all together!

Completely unreliable. Freezes up constantly when trying to access e-mails or texts. I reset constantly to solve this issue. It dials the previous call without my permission. Very frustrating, especially to the person on the other end whose listening to me talk because I'm not aware that the call was made. Sometimes I can set it down and actually watch it dial the last call made on its own. I like the functionality and Windows OS. Battery Life is decent

I probably switch to an I-Phone next go-around, which means I'll probably switch from Sprint.
