At the CTIA show, UTStarcom was showing the PPC6800, an upgrade to the PPC6700 Smartphone. This model no longer has the antenna sticking out, runs Windows Mobile 5.0

The PPC6800 will be smaller, thinner and lighter than the Verizon VX6700 and Sprint PPC-6700.

More info when this EVDO Rev A device becomes available.

Mogul by HTC

Michael, will you be selling these? I'll definitely be upgrading from my Sprint 6700.

Would be hqppy to give you guys the business if you can sell me a 6800. I'll probably not renew contract at the time (forego equipment subsidy).

Thanks,

More info in a few weeks Smile

Michael, can you sell the PPC-6800 when available? I'd be interested in buying here and probably won't opt to extend my Sprint contract.

We have primarily been focusing on ONLY EVDO data cards over the last few years, actually, that is 100% of our business/sales/support/etc.

Starting with the PPC6800, we will start to sell and support PDAs as well.

We think the PPC6800 is going to be a hot device, in fact, it might be the device many of us have been waiting on. We have become familiar with many devices recently and we think the PPC-6800 will be a killer device.

In fact, it will be the device that I use personally Smile

I will be ordering one when it ships and we will be able to do a lot more testing and reviewing the device.

More info to be posted soon, but look for us to start selling and supporting the PPC-6800 when it is released from Sprint shortly.

I'm pretty much ready to give up on PalmOS/Treo and go to a WM6 phone soon. This one looks like it has everything I want but I am concerned about getting to the contacts quickly w/out having to slideout the keyboard. It's nice on treo to just hit the first letter or two in the phone app and quickly get to who you want. Anyone know if there is a quick way on WM6 w/out opening the keyboard up? Calling from contacts is clunky on the 6700/WM5.

Here is a link to the PPC-6800 user guide from Sprint:

http://www.sprint.com/cdma/assets/pdfs/phone_guides/htc/ppc_6800_ug.pdf

186 pages long. Check out page 39; Smart Dialing
might be what you are looking for.

A tip for quick navigation when viewing pdf files. At the
bottom of the screen is a box indicating the current page
number (e.g, (45 of 186)). Click in the box with your
mouse, enter the page number you want to jump to,
and press return.

This phone makes me happy since I just smashed my 700wx into th edge of my desk. I am sick of that phone. Can I get this new 6800 at a Sprint store soon?
