The device we are waiting on will not come out until Rev A. is operational out the box.
The only reason the Mogul came out when it did was because of the enourmous outcry that Sprint recieved from its customers demanding this phone be released. Sprint had all intentions of holding back until Rev A was fully implemented.
That small white Palm device that we've been seeing pictures of is what I believe will come first.

Well, the Rev A launch is right around the corner. No reason why the cannot release a device now or in a month or two.
Remember: the 6700 came out early Sept 2005 (late August for business clients, like myself). EvDO was just being rolled out (it started to be turned on just 8 weeks earlier) with coverage not reaching completion for another 16 months. (This also puts a whole in your theory about the Mogul being released due to "outctry". The 6700 was nearly 2 years old, so it was bound to be upgraded. When has Sprint ever responded to customer complaints about devices?)
And I disagree about the "white" Treo WM Standard edition. The only photo we've seen for that is on Vodaphone's network.
Also, Palm always considers "100" leaps to be significant changes to the device where as the middle numbers (50's) are mid-upgrades e.g. 600 --> 650 --> 700P for POS. For WM 700w/x --> 750 (minor upgrade). An 800-series will definitely be a major-revision to the hardware, otherwise it would have been a 755w or 760w, etc.
This picture, otoh, is from internal Sprint documents on their upcoming lineup i.e. this device, or something very near it is the next Sprint Treo. It is clearly, imo, running WM Professional, not Standard (on screen plugins).
