Verizon Wireless XV6700 Firmware Update Released... Sort Of
A few folks over at PDAPhoneHome.com's forums have been on a round-the-clock watch as UTStarcom posts a page and links to the long awaited firmware update for the Verizon Wireless XV6700 Pocket PC Phone. Unfortunately, the file is currently corrupted and quite short at under a megabyte. Perhaps someone is uploading it over a 1xRTT connection, or this is just Verizon's second stage of torture. :roll:
At least this is the official download link until it's mirrored on Verizon's Data Technical Support (DTS) website as well. Stay tuned, folks... there's finally a light at the end of the tunnel for the forsaken Verizon XV6700 user.

It's about time. This is one of those things that I dislike about Verizon so much.

What's up with the corrupted update files lately? First the 8125, now the XV6700. I guess we can just shake our heads and laugh at Cingular and Verizon, both of whom ultimately customized/tested the file package we're all trying to download.

No issues with the installation. My Sprite backup restored with no problems. I know that's not advisable, but I did it anyway.
Life is good.

The problem is that they are not using FTP in both cases but rather web upload which is a big problem for partial files. In 8125's case, some ppl can't even get the correct file a day after because their ISP also caches the corruptted files.
