XV6600 first impressions

Verizon loaned me an VX6600 to write about. I haven’t used it much, but so far, a few first impressions:

• The ringer volume is way too low. Even at max, I can barely hear it.
• Verizon shipped me the device with an old firmware version on it. As shipped, the phone absolutely refused to recognize my GN6210 Bluetooth headset, either with hands-free or handset profiles; about 80% of the time, it refuses to launch the Bluetooth Manager applet.
• After I updated the firmware, I was able to pair with my 6210 and make and receive calls. I haven’t tested this as much as I want to, but so far it seems to be working well.
• The built-in keyboard doesn’t feel as good as the Treo 650, but it’s better than nothing at all. I think I’ll just have to get used to it.
