Verizon XV6800 Gets Windows Mobile 6.1

Windows Mobile 6.1 looks like it’s making its way to Windows Mobile powered phones all around, and next up in line is Verizon’s XV6800. The latest ROM for the XV6800 adds the usual benefits of Windows Mobile 6.1, such as threaded SMS, better battery life and some others. The bad news is that Verizon still insists on keeping the GPS functionality locked down, so you won’t be able to use any 3rd party navigation apps.
