This phone is built like a tank. I've had it for 5 years now and it still keeps going. I had to resort back to it after my HTC TP2 took a swim in the pacific. Its best if you load a custom ROM on it. Currently I’m running Ryan mogul’s ROM and this phone runs better then my TP2. Reception is sketchy, and isn’t really stable. I stream Sirius radio with it but it struggles to keep up when your moving in a car. Like I said this phone has had many drops, once in a puddle of anti freeze and a few times in the snow. Keyboard has started to die on me but nothing couldn’t be lived without given the age of the phone.
I first got the HTC 6800 because I needed something with a full keyboard and windows mobile. This phone came with that and then some! The internet sharing feature allows me to plug my phone into my laptop and it gives my laptop high speed internet. I can also send texts while in internet sharing. The activesync feature also allows me to transfer information from my desktop to laptop (or any computer with a USB) or store information on my phone. It's only downfall is the size of the keys if you try to text on the screen without using the stylus pen.
I would also recommend buying a phone cover (I paid 4.95 for a hot pink cover but you can find them cheaper) to protect it from scratches. Otherwise my only problem was when my first 6800's slider keyboard was sticking a little, but Cellcom gave me a brand new one to replace it. For free!
I got my 6800 as a replacement for a slider that had an unfortunate meeting with a moving box. On first use this phone is woefully under powered and sucks up RAM faster than any other phone I've ever seen. After going through several forums and help sites I finally stumbled upon the Holy Grail for this phone. Custom ROMs. I upgraded to the standard 6.1 ROM from HTC. Better than the original, but not great. Switched through several different custom ROMs that did everything from make my phone look like an iphone to crash before it would even attempt to boot. Finally landed on a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM that runs like a dream. I had been looking for months to replace this phone until I found this upgrade, now I'll be hanging on to this one till contract time and I can get something new and shiny!
