So I just read this on a Sprint developer board:

Quote:

I was told by the local Treo rep that they will now be releasing a Windows Mobile 6 EV-DO Rev A in Q4 of 2007

So it looks like we might get it afterall!

But then again...it's a rep that said that so...

I won't get my hopes up, however, it sounds more like a new device than upgrades to the current one since our 700wx's are not capable of Rev. A.

I thought the specs for the 6800 is WM5... has that changed?

Rumor says it's been delayed to be released with WM 6 and Rev. A.

I used to work for Sprint, and the 6800 was supposed to debut on 5/14 with WM5 and no Rev A. but it was pushed back so that Rev A could be added as well as WM6. The "estimated" release date for it is October.

Ok so...false alarm. This just came through that same topic:

Quote:

As of now, unless directly stated otherwise by Palm, there are no plans to upgrade CDMA Windows Mobile Treo devices to Windows Mobile 6.

The only Windows Mobile Treo that Palm has committed to upgrade is the Treo 750 which is a W-CDMA (UMTS/HSDPA) device.

In my experience no Palm rep is a reliable source of information on upgrades for anything.

and this as well:

Quote:

I am sorry for the confusion but this new WM6 device would not be an upgrade but the release of a new device in Q4 07. I also confirmed that it will be an EV-DO Rev A device.

I would also like you to consdier that a generalized statement encompassing a group of people (ie. no palm rep is a reliable source of information) not only is not true, but ignorant

Just ignore the 2 lines of bickering amongst them
