Wonder where the stylus is this time, though, because the current location's completely illogical.

The other specs look great. I just hope Sprint doesn't strip too much of the goodness from it.

My guess is that it will use the same TouchFLO 3D as the Diamond with a black and yellow sprint color scheme, a Sprint logo on the front, maybe Sprint TV and Music. I really dont see them doing any more damage beyond that.

the phone looks sweet I admit just one minor gripe
soft keys
on the 6700 and the 6800 there were two keys that were mapped to press send/contact or cancel or something...
where's that

Sprint and other carriers have modified the hardware before, stripping out the front camera, and oftentimes gimping other specs. That's what I'm talking about. I'm all but certain the front camera will go, but nervous about what else they might do.

And I can't wait until someone manages to hack out the awful yellow-and-black for the TouchFLO. Hopefully, though, they'll make it an option to change that internally.

looks sick!!! defenetey my next ppc, the only thing that i dont like about it t is the screen size compared to the whole face, i wish that it could have been basically all screen in the face, two digital send-end keys at the bottom and keyboard for the hardware fans

6700, slides to the left...




6800, slides to the right...

This phone is just plain SICK!!!

Just hope Sprint does away with the finger-print-magnet glossy finish...

It has the sensor in it right so when u tilt it it will tilt to the side?

That think looks massive. Looks overkill.

Massive? It's smaller than the Mogul, same dimensions as the Touch Diamond except for the thickness of the keyboard. How is that overkill? Or are you confusing it for the Ameo 16GB listed on the same page?

Huh? The send/end keys are right on the front where they've always been. The other two front keys are Home and Back.

I'm not liking the flush touchscreen unless they use a capacitive screen (they're too cheap for that) and the lack of hard buttons. The Raphael has no hard buttons on either side.
