...And will it be the regular VZW web site or a special insider web Site? It's like freak'n Christmas for VZW die-hards... There is VZW electricty in the air, the winds have picked up and something wicked this way comes!

I just don't know about some of these new PDA phones on the horizon. I don't see anything worth waiting for past the 6800. Is it just me or do they seem to upgrade everything BUT the processor? More memory or better camera is nice, but there's no way I'm going down from a 400mhz cpu.
A friend of mine tried showing off his Wing he just purchased from T-mobile. It LOOKS snazzy and all (ha!), but when we tried running some workhorse software like pocketSNES, you could immediately tell this thing seemed crippled compared to my 6700. I struggled with it for a while, trying to kill any useless apps and so on, but it was no use. The games were unplayable with such poor frame rate.
I'm guessing that in the race to make smaller/slimmer PDAs there is little they can do to shrink the battery size so they compromise with the weaker CPU.
I personally don't like PDAs getting smaller. I used to love the huge screen on my i700!

I've talked to 3 reps from 3 different malls and the all tell me that the 6800 will be in Mid November. And the earliest is the 16th.

I haven't heard a date but we just got the next set of "magazines/brochures" and it had photos of the 6800 in it and it looks great! btw its been on our rebate sheets.

That would coincide with a Nov 2 online release then...here's hoping? I will be online to order first thing Friday morning...
