I think that most PDA users (not iphone) are either business (for e-mail, correspondence, etc.) or techies. If you buy a PDA and you have no idea what you're doing; with the high price, the large size, and the relatively ugly appearance.... I think you're an idiot. I don't buy a top of the line motherboard for $300-400 and then install Curious George Goes to the Park & just use myspace, that's wasteful and something I can do for way less $$. I use it for many things and buy it based on performance, OC, etc.

If you buy high-dollar/high-performance hardware and you don't use it's potential it's wasteful and stupid.

Back on topic.... VZW I hate you, where's my phone. I feel like I stayed outside a store, in the cold, waiting to buy something and they opened the door, threw water on me, and said #$#% you.

I agree , the i-phone is a multimedia entertainment phone. If it doesn't
mesh with Windows , it's not much use in most business settings.
Great for teenagers and the MTV crowd.

Wideawake , are you still gonna post the store flyer for the 6800 today ?
We can't wait to actually see VzW advertise the 6800 at store level.

I can't get a soft launch date out of anyone. I'm really hoping they don't push back the hard launch again.

That's really good.
I get the same "soaked" feeling everyday I load up VZW's PDA selection page and see the 6700 still listed for 300 dollars AFTER REBATE. Yet every few months another Motorola Q or Treo version will come out.
And how about the PN-820 we all brush past while scrolling? I swear that thing's been on the list for 2 years now.

Why do you think they will push back the Hard release date? Something
wrong with the phone (wi-fi) ? What kind of release date are they thinking about for the Vouge?

Thanks!!
