This is false. Partly.
aGPS on the 6800 is just like every other aGPS on Sprint except there is no API written for accessing it in WM5/6, which has to be done by Sprint.
The rumor is they will do this or have done this for WM5/6 but the catch is it's only for their TeleNav system to recoup costs of their network: so you'll have GPS/aGPS but you can't use TomTom or what have you, only the $2.99 day/$10 month TeleNav.

Back to RevA: its launched in more places now than Rev0 was when it was launched. This is just probably a Sprint "strategy" to have all devices RevA capable--so they'll phase out 700wx, MotoQ, etc for their replacements.
Heck, even the HTC Touch is reported as "Rev A upgradable" meaning that won't even launch with it in the next 2 months.
There is also the other explanation: HTC just doesn't have it ready yet.
