Took the 6800 Plunge...

Well, I have lived and died by my Alltel PPC-6700 (Apache of course) for the past two years, but my contract came up for renewal and I did what I said I wasn't going to do. I'm now the owner of a shiny new PPC-6800 (Mogul for you Sprint folks).

I really loved my Apache, but it was physically starting to fall apart. Inside, where it counts, it was incredibly stable and reliable though.

I have a bunch of Apache accessories (extended battery, desktop dock, Seidio car kit, Seidio clip holster, etc) that of course won't work for the 6800 so I am going to be looking for a home for them. Contemplating a way to have a private auction just for PPCGeeks members, since I'm sure someone here can use them and I'd rather take a lower price than open it up to the public on eBay. You guys... everyone from Helmi_C (genuflects and makes the sign of the "H") and all the mods right on down to the b00ns... you are who I have to thank for the great lifespan of my Apache, and in some small way it would be my way of giving back to the community to have these accessories find a home with someone here.

As for the Apache itself? Hanging on to it short-term till I am sure I am going to keep the 6800... then, it seems a proper burial would be to donate it to Helmi_C for further ROM and kitchen development. We'll see how that goes.

I'll still hang out here for a while, since I seem to be able to occasionally answer a question or two.
