It is useful in urban areas, when the user is located in "urban canyons", under heavy tree cover, or even indoors. It is becoming more common and it's commonly associated with Location Based Services (LBS) over cellular networks.

Let me first say that I have never owned a PDA phone before and because of this I didn't go in expecting certain features. The first thing that really stuck out with me about this phone was the keyboard. The keyboard is very nice and easy to use. It makes typing emails and text messages a breeze. When the keyboard is slid out it makes viewing websites easy because of the wide format. My phone has the unlimited web package from Verizon and let me tell you this is a must for this phone. I have used the internet on this phone almost non-stop since I got it. You can also use the browser in wifi mode. I have done this many times when I can find an open hotspot.

From the amount I have been able to use it so far I have enjoyed using the pda/smartphone. There have been some things I have had to get used to with the phone, mainly because I am not used to having a pda/smartphone. I guess that is why my review will be at least a little interesting, this is my first device like this so I will not be expecting features that exist on other phones. Look forward to seeing a full review in a week or so. [More] Cellphones Misc Tue, 27 Feb 2007 15:27:00 -0700 http://thewarp.org/blog/index.cfm/2007/2/27/My-New-Phone-the-Verizon-XV6700
