Today we get to take a first look at the Verizon Wireless XV6900, the Verizon branded CDMA HTC Touch. We here at MGN have done reviews of both the GSM HTC Touch as well as the Sprint branded CDMA HTC Touch. Verizon Wirleess now offers a nice white shell for the Touch. VZW users rejoice, you now have the option to use one of the highest rated Windows Mobile devices ever! MGN will have more info on the XV6900, including some videos, in the coming weeks. Click on the news article title for many more photos, inluding a side-by-side with the black Sprint Touch.

A nice white shell will set the XV6900 apart from the Sprint branded Touch.



The mirror and speaker placement is the same as the Sprint Touch, so any cases and other accessories for the CDMA Touch should work fine with the XV6900.







Side-by-side, the Sprint Touch and VZW XV6900. The white case is slick, unlike the rubbery black case on the Sprint Touch. It's a nice change of pace. When the XV6900 housings become available, I suspect some Sprint users will be swapping out for the white case.



Initially there was some speculation that the XV6900 would be smaller than the other CDMA Touches. As you can see here, it is the same housing, just painted white.



VZW, like Sprint, customized the TouchFlo cube. Along with the icons being different, they have Notes and Voice Recorder on the above side of the cube.



A welcome change from the Sprint version, the Music link in the cube actually takes you to Windows Media Player (the Sprint version goes to the Sprint Music Store). Photos and Video take you to the HTC Album software.
