Anything out there yet, other than the Mogul? Anything coming soon?

Some of these other threads look dead... sorry if I should've posted to one of them instead of making a new one.

I have not heard any recent news of any phones that will provide EVDO-Rev A support. This would require more juice from the battery, which would result in shorter battery lifes. I think the majority of most smart phone users are more concerned with battery life than Rev O/A compatibility, so it doesn't seem to be very big issue with the phone manufacturers to add Rev-A support. I just don't think the overall demand is there...just my 2 cents.

I've read on other forums that the Sprint GPS/Rev A ROM for the Mogul has been sucessfully installed on a xv6800 and both features work.

I'd love a VZW Rev A Moto Q with GPS and WiFi. PDA's are just too big.

Update 4/2/08:

CTIA showed Samsung Instinct touch phone having Rev A support and coming to Sprint this June.

My wife bought an HTC touch cruise (unlocked) and is using just the phone, pda and music functions. If she gets a sprint sim card and data plan will she have rev A speeds like with her laptop using a Sprint EX720?
