Yikes, I actually didn’t know there were any issues with the slideout keyboard on the XV6800 from Verizon Wireless. The good news is that there’s an update from UTStarcomm that makes things a little better. This isn’t a firmware update that wipes out your whole device and causes you to restore apps and data; it’s simply a patch of some type. Since I don’t have an XV6800, maybe one of the readers can help explain what issues there are with the keyboard? It’s a shame because I loved the keyboard on my XV6700, which was the predecessor to the current device.(via Mobility Site)
