do not need a data plan. It can be used as a regular phone, youll just pay for internet everytime you use it. The only set back on this phone is the keyboard. It does not come with a full touch screen keyboard like the iphone. For some reason the sprint version does. Other wise the phone is great! Im attempting to find a way to get a full keyboard on it but so far no luck

Pros: Setting up and adding contacts easy to do, just plug into computer and it automatically updates your contacts and your calender which is also good since you have backup files on phone and computer. Sound quality is great i could listen to music and watch movies all day on it. This phone is really light weight and easy to carry around. Easily customizable and makes this literally your own phone. the screen itself is really durable. I was working and it got dropped straight on a nail and there is Cons: Phone case cracks easily but you can send the phone in for a new one. When i receive picture messages my phone will often freeze up and I will be forced to turn the phone off then back on to look at the file. The boot up process is really slow compared to most other phones I have owned but this one is also a lot more complicated which may add to the lag. Sometimes if I send a message and one is trying to come in at the same time the messaging feature will lock up so I can access anything elseSummary: Overall I believe this phone is worthwhile getting if you can look past the minor flaws that this phone contains. I would recommend purchasing screen protectors and maybe looking for like a rubber sleeve that can go over the phone so the case doesn't crack so easily.

Pros: On paper the phone looks kickin'Cons: On my forth phone - see below.Summary: The XV6900 is the WORST PHONE EVER. I am so disappointed with HTC and Microsoft for allowing such a crappy product into their line. I am a dedicated windows programmer and have owned pocket pc’s since windows CE so I have a history and an in depth understanding of windows phones.
I have had three phones and am currently being shipped my forth (Verizon won’t swap phone for something else).
1st phone cracked two times on the case. Camera software was all screwed up and would erase pictures and corrupt existing pictures on phone.
2nd phone wouldn’t open email at all –even after hard reset. Main speaker was blown. Half of incoming calls would go directly to missed calls because the phone wouldn’t ring.
3rd phone is currently having a crazy software/ hardware glitches where I am getting debug screens popping up every couple minutes. D Pad doesn’t work. Incoming calls seldom ring, Phone freezes multiple times per day, battery life is less than 8 hours with just email checking and a couple voice calls. Case is also cracking.
I have finally lost faith with HTC and, to a larger degree, Microsoft. What a joke this phone is – what a horrible horrible joke.

By: Gina Schild on Saturday, May 03, 2008From: Houston, TX (United States)
Experience: 7 Days
Pros: Amall, light weight, compact, LOUD ring, excellent cqll quality & soundCons: Only touch screen, hard to use when textingSummary: Seems to be a good phone. Call quality is amazing, ring tone can be VERY loud which I like. It is hard to get used to the touch only screen but I am trying to adjust. Windows on it is amazing and much easier to set uo than I expected (email). Phone is really user friendly which surprised me. Screen's brightness is adjustable you just have to look for it in settings. It is bright enough to be viewed outside.
ringer is loud, call sound is loud and screen print is large.
The phone is compact but slick - I would recommend a skin of some kind.
So far (1 week) I say thumbs up!
