Just when we reported the AT&T Tilt aka HTC TyTN II is getting the Windows Mobile 6.1 update, we have the same news to report for another device. This time it’s the UTStarcom-made Verizon XV6800.

Unfortunately, Verizon keeps locking some of the phone’s functionalities, hence even with the update if you need to use any location-based service, you’ll have to rely on the carrier’s VZ Navigator. Other third-party solutions just won’t work. Or that’s at least if you don’t go one step beyond what’s officially permitted and hack the hell out of your smartphone. Afterwards Garmin, TomTom, and others wait at your disposal…

Anyway, the update is well worth, as you’ll have more stable device, better mobile browser, and more.
