ppc-6800 announced

[dannzeman]

I think I just "lost" my 6700...

I think I heard my 700wx whimper when it saw the joy on my face when viewing those pics.

Why do the first pics of new PPC'S always say verison on them. Sprint moves like pond water when it comes to new technology. I like the look of that 6800 hope it lives up to its predecessor

yeah i get sick of that too. verizon is worth more than everyone else in the manufacturers eyes. they spend more money on advertising for the public to see. oh well.

There's nothing cooler than being the only one in a crowd amongst your "friends" with the latest and greatest $600 - $700 cellular device.

But it's sooooo embarrasing when you're expensive state of the art device drops a call while with those same "friends."

Watch how fast they start laughing their collective ass' off!

My 700p has dropped / froze up on so many calls that I call it my expensive hunk of junk!

Sprint may move like pond water, but you gotta admit, no one beats their prices!

It could be because Verison is kinda known for putting out lots of phones. What I mean is it seems like their method of getting people to sign is to offer all these new and different phones that no else has. If they offer the 6800 first they're going to have to advertise for it. Maybe Sprint is just letting them do all the work because usually if a pda phone comes out for Verison it'll usually come out for Sprint. Or I could be totally way off and Sprint really is just lazy.

Personally, I thought Sprint got their phones before Verizon did. I could be wrong. Which of them got the 6700 first?

sprint use too get their phones first but that got switched around quick.

From someone that I just talked to, the 6800's around the Sprint campus do have Crossbow on them.

That makes it that much more enticing now. Any chance you'll continue your ROM cooking or upgrade your "kitchen" to crossbow?
