I'm still waiting on the EVDO that was quoted to be in this area in October of 2006 (and no sign of that happening anytime soon). Everyone has been saying this date was merely speculation, and I find it funny that many people (no one in particular) that were cautioning that it was probably a lie are the ones going around bitching that they woke up at 4AM or 6AM for the update that they never really believed would happen anyways. Do you have a right to be pissed that a substantial update hasn't happened to this point? Sure... but to be pissed at Sprint that because some guy no one even knows said it would "possibly" happen? Thats just silly, and the reason the wireless industry in America isn't doing as well as it should. Everyone wants it now now now, but then when they get it by demand and the software is half-assed developed, they get pissed about that and start calling, "I'm gonna cancel if you don't release an update for a mere FRACTION of your customers." I know over on SprintUsers, many of the people pissed threatening to cancel are the ones with the SERO plan. Some bargaining chip people. I remember when people complained because the release date was possibly pushed back to I think October... many of you were pissed, and then all the sudden one day it released, months before expected. Many speculated it was customer demand that got the product released, and the same people are the ones crying now because they use it for their "business" and so forth. Last time I checked, someone who owns a business spends a lot of time working, not refreshing a page all day waiting for an update for their high-end phone.
Like many people here we purchased this phone to use for work (myself included). I work for an internet company and I AM REQUIRED TO HAVE online access 24/7 wherever I go. I am constantly restarting my fone which in turn causes me to miss texts/calls/emails etc. I am getting a little fed up with this phone. When I first got it I had no issues. Then I started adding programs for work and BOOM phone is SLUGGISH AS HELL!! I am constantly cleaning the phone out, defrag, etc. I wouldn't have any of these issues if Sprint made a attempted to release a decent phone without any problems. But in the end it's all about money. The most stable PPC I have ever had was the 6600. The 6700 was OK but not ass speedy as my 6600.
