Sprint's PPC-6800 Prototype
 

I have had the privilage to play with the PPC-6800. i have taken some screen captures and some crude pics taken with my 6700. i have placed them on the ftp along with a zip of the extended rom. i am hoping to have a dump of the rom by weeks end. the rom dump may take longer considering how green i am to the process.

just a few notable features:

Windows Mobile 5 AKU 3.3
qualcomm MSM7500 400 MHz processor
173.63MB of storage memory
48.54MB of Program memory

spring loaded keyboard - opens opposite direction of 6700
microSD - on the bottom between the mini usb port and IR port
collapsable stylus. - looks like this one will actually stay in the phone

keep in mind this is a prototype. the release device may have some differences.

Please find us in the chat room and we will be able to help you.

Wow, this is hella sweet if the ROMs for the 6800 can be modified before the phone even hits the US market (officially)!

Good job Lattisimo!

Probably should create a 6800 forum section soon...

where's the extrom? I see the pix, if it was removed please send to me via pm.
Thx,
Mike

It was there a few minutes ago, but when I tried to open it I got a "corrupt zip" message.

Maybe lattisimo deleted it to re-post a good one.... [-o<

awwww aku 3.3 I hope they change that before release but I doubt it :(

sorry for the delay. the ftp didn't like my pc. I got the zip of the extended rom uploaded now. I will get ya the rom asap. thanks to everyone for there help.

Someone keeps deleting it apparently someone please pm or attach the files here.
Thx,
Mike

Here it is...

It's there mike... just refresh.

Unfortunately, it's pretty boring. But thanks for posting it lattsimo.

Can I request some different screen shots and pics? I don't want to overwhelm you, but if you can swing any of these it would be great:

Photos of all four edges and back
Photo of kb backlight with screen off (or covered up) and room lights off
Photo of back with battery cover off
Photo of stylus
Photo of any accessories that came with (if any)

Screen Shots:

1. Please get one of the hardware and identity tabs of settings->device information (there will be no personal info on those pages).

2. Any third party apps please try to get a screen shot of their about page showing version numbers

3. The buttons applet in settings. Would be great to see which buttons can be assigned and if there are press & hold variations.

4. The phone settings->more services tab. Anything new/different in there from the 6700? Are the roaming options the same?

5. If you can get any of the ## codes to work, please get shots of as many screens as you can. Most important ones for us would be ##DATA#, ##RTN#, ##PRL#, ##PST#, and ##DIAG#. You may need an MSL for some of those, so even if you could confirm whether they work or not would be fantastic. Note if you get screen grabs there may be some personally identifiable info you'll want to black out.

Just some general questions:

1. When connected to data, it looks like you get the mini arrows in the right-hand icon up top. Do they turn white/black as data is transferring?

2. Do you see any sign of MMS or Picture Mail?

3. Can you get some measurements of height, width, and most importantly, thickness?

4. What are the specs on the AC charger? I assume 5V 1000mA

5. What are the specs on the battery? the mah would be the most useful piece of info--probably printed on the battery itself

6. Have you compared the camera image quality to that of the 6700? I know the resolution is higher, but that doesn't necessarily mean better quality.

7. Is that a light sensor on the keyboard (above the I key)? If so, can you tell us if it works well? so if there's below a certain level of ambient light the kb backlight switches on automatically when the kb is slid out? Or do you still have to press a key on the kb to get the backlight on?

OK, probably too much already. I understand you have limited time with the device so as much as you can get to would be fantastic and much appreciated by all. Thanks for being willing to share your good fortune with the community ;)
