In league with the iPhone's precedent-setting utilitarian design, the white-cased Verizon XV6900 sports a slimmed-down look and feel, with a single, 5-way multifunction navigator button (straddled by a Talk/Send button and an End/Power button) situated beneath a generously large display screen. It also features a slideout QWERTY keyboard and built-in speakerphone. The phone includes voice command capabilities and boasts a powerful battery with over 3 ½ hours of talk time and over 4 hours of battery life on standby.

The 2.8" LCD touchscreen display with LED backlight and Touch Cube view has 320 x 240 pixel resolution, and features the innovative TouchFLO technology for the smoothest navigability around. One of the nicest advances with the XV6900 is the ability to operate the touchscreen with your fingertips, no longer requiring the included stylus be used to make it all work.

As for multimedia features: the XV6900 has a built-in 2 megapixel camera featuring zoom and video capture capabilities. Users can enjoy listening to their favorite music through Windows Media Player 10, and with 256 MB of built-in storage and a microSD card slot for 8 GB of expandability, there's no end to how many songs, videos, etc. users can enjoy on the device.

As for productivity tools: the XV6900 comes with the Microsoft Office suite of application built in, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.  It also includes Internet Explorer, Microsoft Outlook Mobile, Microsoft Exchange server with Direct Push, VZEmail, and an Adobe PDF reader. Instant messaging is available via Yahoo, AIM, and MSN. The phone also lets users extract, view, and create attachments and Zip files. The XV6900 also includes a built-in GPS.

On the downside: the Verizon XV6900 lacks Wi-Fi capabilities. PowerPoint files and PDF files are read-only. The touchscreen is less responsive than it should be. The web browser isn't the best. The phone lacks Verizon's newest flagship mobile technology, V-Cast Mobile TV.

The Verizon XV6900 will be available for sale in the U.S. on April 30 and costs about $350, with various rebates and special offers available for purchase with qualifying voice plan and data plans.
