I'm Back

Its been a long trip first the 700wx nice device I really wanted to love it and I did for a while than the AKU's started coming out. All the things that were better about the 700wx were gone and the 6700, still at my side was looking pretty good. So I changed back to the 6700 for a while than Sprint offered to give me the Q for the 700wx so I took it. After a long road of problems getting things straight with Sprint customer service (don't get me started) I had this sweet small different device. The Q is a great phone but I just need more, look to my side and there is my old friend. I was walking around talking on my Q but using my 6700 for everything else, (carrying 2 phones is stupid) I NEED OFFICE TOOLS , I must cut and paste, there is on alternative. I have searched (there will be arguments here) there is no way to make a smartphone do what a PPC will do there will always be something missing (weather panel) that I need. So after 8 months and $1200 worth of phones (I didn't pay that much) I am back to using my 6700 all the time and I will never change (6800)

Phone Whore

Have fun with the ROMS Big D. I was tempted to go back to the 6700 from my 700wx for that one reason, but I will wait for the 6800.

Welcome home Big D. :P Nice to see u back. Wish I could say I'm a phone whore but theres not enough cdma ppc phones for me to be one. Treos just not my style. Hopefully the 6800 is just as easily hacked as the 6700 was cuz its time for a change for me.

Sounds like so many others I have talked to at work. I myself follow almost the same paths as you, and like you, need the features the 6700 offers. My Q is still near, yet try to find it in the bottom of my wifes purse... yikes.

I would like to hold one in my hand before I make any comments, the roomers have been known to be wrong so lets see what actually comes out there might be some surprises coming

It's also quite a bit thinner. I don't know the actual specs but the GSM TyTn is about .2 inches thinner than the 6700, and it's been said that the 6800/Titan is even thinner than that.

So those of us looking for a phone not so brick-like might find the 6800 a little easier to pocket.

And no external antenna!
