question to Michael about the 6820

Michael,
I was reading the sony forum and noticed that you say you're using the z600 since your 6820 is out being reflashed. I'm curious to know if the 6820 is now your phone of choice? I'm getting tired of waiting for the new bluetooth phones to show up on tmobile and am giving the 6820 serious consideration since it has what I need and is available through AT&T. If I may ask, why the reflash? How is it working these days...better battery life? I'm torn between the v600 on the 6820...since the T630, Z600 and 6230 aren't available throught the carriers yet....any suggestions.


thanks

"If I am planning on doing a lot of SMSing or email without a PDA, then the 6820 is my pick. But in terms of just being enjoyable to use, the Z600 is better. I like the big display, the spacious keypad, and the folder design.

The 6820's display is pretty weak.

As to why I am getting it reflashed, it has a number of bugs in it. And it causes Bluetooth devices to drain power faster than anything I have ever seen. Faster than is normally possible. Headsets that get 5+ hours on a T68i getting less than 1 hour on the 6820. That kind of thing."
