Sprint's PPC-6800 Prototype

[lattisimo]

My phone is always turning upside down?

lol.

when using the keyboard and closing the device, by habit, and because it is opposite my 6700 it ends up upside down. it is just an annoyance until i get used to the differences.


Also,

my only real complaint about the ppc-6800 is it in no way feels as durable as my 6700. i have dropped my 6700 over 12 feet onto concrete and all i had to do was put the battery back in. The 6800 feels like if it had that fall i would find it in at least 5 pieces.

now, no pda that i need needs to be built to withstand that abuse but i was just pointing out the differences.


On a positive note... the OK button below the jog dial minimizes apps and when on the Today screen it activates the start button. This with the jog dial has made it really nice for quicker one handed access to all the apps in the start menu.

The jog dial also makes it possible to move up and down app pages and menus using your right hand. This was a deciding feature for me now that the direction pad has moved to the left when using the keyboard. i have tried to get myself to just use the keyboard arrows but its just not the same.
