It’s all about firmware. The Touch Pro has better firmware that improves communication with the gpsOne silicon. The hardware in the 6800 is excellent, it’s the software that doesn’t communicate well with it.

That’s why hacked XV6800s have excellent GPS.

I checked out the Omnia i900, and the storm,,,,and they are like a 3rd grade toy compared to the Touch Pro—it is absolutely wonderful,,,,,remote access to home computer —you don’t have to worry about a RAM or ROM issue,,,,,micro SD card,,,in Verizon’s model—-with a corporate rate,,, it cost 269.00—–Touch Flo is beautiful!!!

My apologies Humberto, didn’t see that you wrote the review. Was not trying to be condescending or even remotely nasty. I was honestly surprised to see the specs and wanted to know if my information was right or wrong.

You guys always do a top notch job here. Only wanted to provide some input.

Soren, please refrain from addresing anyone directly, as its counter-intuitive to the nature of commenting.

As far as the numbers go, swap the RAM and ROM figure and you’ve got it. It’s important to note that Verizon advertises their ROM figure after OS usage, so the ROM number before usage is still 288 MB as is the Sprint and AT&T versions.

Hey Chris, you sure it is 512 MB of RAM? Had read they were reducing the RAM to 192 MB, and the ROM would be 512. Could be wrong though…
