Sprint 6800 Delayed...

[B18DelSolT]

Just saw this on www.Pdaphonehome.com Hope its true, but wont get my hopes up

I just played with the 6800 for a whole 15 minutes at a Las Vegas trade show at the Sprint booth. WM6 but Rev 0 only. In the ##run# screen, it says Windows Mobile 5.2.1xxx. According to the booth person, Rev A update would be available through a push update with no exact date. They did say a release date of June 18th.

The Sprint booth people were also carrying the Blackberry 880x for Sprint.

Here is the link to the page.

201mhz processor WTF is that. phone is going to be slow and lagy even with WM6.
Also i saw a video and the free program memory was 14mb and that was right out the box.

It truely is the biggest piece of ISH ever, however, I wanted to feel it to get an idea of what the 6800 was going to be like. Pssh, only thing TMO ever got LUCKY with is the Sidekick and the Dash... other than that... its a big bucket of AIDS.

Goes with what I've heard as well... however, things can always get pushed back. I do believe Sprint is planning to release MID-June, now if that actually happens remains to be seen. Its all a matter of any programming snags.

Well Mr. Forsee's person called me back after I had gone back and forth with her, she had no clue about the 6800. So about 4 hours later she calls me back and suddenly has all the information on it, that is coming but was pushed out until October due to wanting to launch with WM6, so I'd have to think that's pretty secure information. While it won't help me (my current "flip" phone is breaking apart) those that can wait should. If I coudl wait 5 months for a new phone I'd wait for it. But alas, I can't. Cingular service in my area stinks, and Tmobile is iffy, so I'm going to have to break down and buy a sprint phone maybe a cheapy until then.

Ebay a cheapy... so you can still get a discount if you are due one in June-October. (They also might try to tell you that you aren't due for a rebate because you did an ESN swap, this is a complete lie and you tell them the last device was not given a discount, I have heard of them doing this on several occassions, they tried it once with me when I got my 700p.)

I have heard the 6800 might be offered as a SERO phone as well, the 755p has so I can't see why not on this one.

A user over at Sprint Users by the name of "CommissoDesign" and works for Radio Shack has this spec sheet for the "Mogul" that he got within the past 12 hours or so.

It looks like the 6800/Titan/Mogul is on-track for 6/18.

I'm still confused as to which name Sprint will go with.

Just as a side note, as I was doing some searching for more info regarding the 6800/Titan/Mogul, I did find something interesting.....

Apparently there is also a known virus named Mogul.6800, so maybe this phone is going to do much more harm than good when/if it finally comes to market.

Um, sorry to point some things out, but are you sure this is the 6800? Just from the spec sheet there are some strange listings.

1. Display: color display, external color display, external caller ID

2. Multi-Language

Both of these seem to point to a flip phone of some sort. I know these specs are vague and could be wrong. Does anyone have the similar spec sheet for the 6700?

Also, no mention of Windows Mobile, touch screen, keyboard?

Just pointing out my observations.

Completely agree with you.
