WM6 on Bell 6800 - What does this mean for the Apache+WM6?

Today, Bell announced they would be releasing their carrier-branded 6800 (the Mogul, as im sure you know, as it is known on Sprint.)

Now, I'm no expert on how comparable the 6800 and 6700 are in terms of architecture,
but is it even feasible to think that this may very well be the device software we've been waiting for to cook a WM6 rom for our beloved Apache?

Anyone??

EDIT: Bell Canada has posted the extended specs of the device on their website, which confirms indefinitely that the device has Windows Mobile 6.

6800's (mogul etc) have had it for a while.

really?
i was under the impression that sprint and telus, the other two people carrying the phone right now, are on WM5, not 6.
hm.
darn.
i was all excited.

Honestly I couldn't tell you from experience though because I have a 6700 and Sprints page says the Mogul runs WM6. Anyone have one?

There are a couple of threads here too about WM6 for 6700...

But I don't think they mention the mogul specificly, just that the nk.exe needs to be written for the device.

Edit: Ok.. four or 5 posts down in the first link they mention Mogul has WM6 allready.

There is a Titan (code name for the 6800/mogul) forum here on this site where you can read all about it. Yes the Sprint version shipped with WM6. No it will not help us with the 6700. The two devices are vastly different under the hood.

Thanks, Chill. I always get confused as to which codename is which.
