    Verizon XV6900

    The Verizon XV6900 is based on the same HTC Vogue hardware that is the basis for the Sprint Touch by HTC that has been on the market for quite some time. While the original Touch was a GSM device, the XV6900 for Verizon supports the carrier's CDMA EV-DO network, though it still sports the same TouchFLO user interface extensions that make the device finger friendly. This review is based heavily on the review of the Sprint version of the HTC Touch, but has been updated where needed to reflect the numerous changes that have been made for Verizon's version.

    MOBILEBURN.COM has the review.

    Welcome Alfredo - this device is based on the same hardware but not necessarily the same software, so I wouldn't think that you could use the same ROM.

    Re: Verizon XV6900

    Laura is correct, Alfredo. The Sprint ROM will have numerous customizations for the Sprint network and specific hardware - which could be different from Verizon's. So it likely will not work correctly on your Verizon phone, and could even brick the device. To see if a Verizon update becomes available, keep your eyes on this thread.
