Windows Phone Thoughts: Engadget's Pics of the Verizon XV6800

"Hold on, Apache owners, your knight in shining armor is just around the corner! At least we think it is, now that we've seen some shots of a Verizon-branded XV6800 doing its thing in the wild. It may not look much different than the XV6700 it replaces, but we figure that if the EV-DO Rev. A doesn't tempt you -- or the promise of a Rev. A upgrade at some point, at least -- the 2 megapixel camera and 256MB of Flash just might."



I talked about the XV6800 in December, and Engadget now has some more pics of the unit. Based on the pictures and the previous post, though, it looks like this unit has WM5 AKU3. While that was great a few weeks ago, now that WM6 has been announced I'd be kind of lukewarm about investing in a new unit, complete with Verizon contract, for an OS that's about to be superceded. If you're curious, there's more pictures at the link above.
