sprint 6900 succesor of 6800/mogul

[erick10]

how long do u think sprint will take to come out with the htc 6900? i know the mogul just came out about 4 months ago but we know that at&t/cingular only took abot 1year to bring out the successor of the 8525 which is the 8925/tilt......nice phone but fd ^ network......it took almost 2 years for sprint to come out with the successor of the 6700 which is now the mogul/6800.........i hope it doesnt take mor than 1 year and a half.........i hope the 6900 come with wimax, 3.2 megapixel cam.......and a vga screen......oh yeah lighter, and skinnyer,..............and 256 of ram and 128megs of rom or more.....hope i goit it right with the rom and ram since i get confused with both


Maybe sprint will comeout with the 6900 whil verizon will barely be coming with the 6800 lol....there slow

Er...technically, the 6900 is already out. It's called the Touch.

If a keyboard is all you need to define it as a successor, isn't the touch dual (or something like that) coming out next year which has the keyboard?

I wouldn't call the Touch a successor to the 6600/6700/6800 slider series. It's more of a line unto itself or more correctly a quick attempt by HTC to counter the release of the iPhone. I would imagine that a "6900" would be something like a CDMA Tilt. I wouldn't count on seeing a successor device for quite a while though. Sprint and Verizon don't seem to like carrying a large variety of PPC devices at once.

i dont consider the touch as a successor of the mogul......its more like competition 4 the iphone.........i would really like to see a 6900 in no more than a year like at&t did with the 8525..........i also hope that tmobile comes out with the successor of the wing thou ive been hearing that there gonna come out with the tytn 2 in january when they roll out there 3g......i have a wing right know and love it but slow @ times and if tmobile and at&T both have the tilt and verizonwireless and sprint have the 6800 its really goin 2 suck cuz the tilt is a more powerfull phone than the 6800

I *REALLY* wish people would get their facts straight.

HTC was working on the Touch BEFORE Apple launched the iPhone... its not meant to be an iPhone competitor and it never was.

Also, the 6900 IS the Touch. The Touch is also a huge upgrade from the Mogul, even WITHOUT the hardware keyboard. I won't go into the details here but the hardware inside is much better, its slimmer, faster, and it has a better screen to boot.

I heard about the HTC Touch way before I heard anything concrete about the whyPhone.

HTC didn't have anything to fear from Apple either way.

If HTC really felt the need to compete with the whyPhone, they would have released a device with a larger screen and a full touch interface.

I firmly believe HTC and LG thought up their touch phones on their own. But that's not an argument for this thread.

As far as the successor of the Mogul, I think that a CDMA HTC Nike will be the phone they'll consider an "upgrade" - essentially the GSM Touch Dual on CDMA.

Meanwhile, at&t will get a 512MB/256MB PPC with a 3.5" LCD, windows mobile, standalone-GPS, 16GB microdrive and HSDPA w/ HSUPA... Its not that far off if you look at the fact that HTC already has a device that comes close... This setting Sprint and Verizon two generations behind.

but wasn't the iphone being worked on before the touch was ever thought up? therefore wouldn't it constitute it being an iphone competitor?
