Wmodem on new phones?

Im getting ready to retire my trusty 6700. Honestly, the only thing that has kept me hanging onto this thing was WModem. I loved attaching it to my laptop and being able to get on the internet. Been using PPCkitchen for the past two years and its definitely kept the 6700 alive for me.

My question is, can anyone recommend a newer Sprint Windows mobile phone that runs WModem or its equivalent? If it runs Windows Mobile it'll probably work, but just making sure theres not a few newer models out there that have had the #777 (Wmodem) functionality blocked.

Thanks!

If I understand you correctly, I thought most WM devices use #777
My Diamond does. But I also use WMWiFiRouter.
There is an Internet Sharing cab that is
floating around here which enables you to tether. The connection will say "Sprint" instead of "Phone as Modem."
