I doubt our 8/30 date is still in the cards.. VZ changed their date from this month to 9/13 and I'm sure we'll see a delay just like them.
I've been holding out on the 6800 because of the 800w.. I'm planning on getting a 6800 for 288$ from SERO and just enjoying it for now. When the 800w comes out then I'll worry about the upgrade. I really like the 320x240 screen on the 6800 but it's crippled in comparison to the 800w or the upcoming ATT HTC device..
It's a tough time to be in the market.
