That HAS to be wrong.

Or, you'll be waiting a very long time.

WM 6.0 (photon) is not scheduled for release till Q1 2008.

The "big" new release would be WM 5.5 (Crossbow) which is a bit of an overhaul similar to WM5 2nd Edition.

IF that is the case, then you are looking at probably a spring/summer 2007 release.

As far as that other information, where is it coming from?

gotcha.

I posted a comment there.

FYI, Spymongoose...not very good at this.

Read his "analysis" of the Treo 700wx re: the double memory issue.

Could he have been anymore wrong?

I still stick by this:

WM6/Photon will not be out till mid 2008: Fact.

WM5.5/Crossbow will not be out till early-mid 2007: Fact.

IF the 6800 is coming out Q1 2007 I gurantee it will ONLY have AKU 3.x max on it since Crossbow has not yet been released to manufactures.

EvDO RevA? Definitely.

VGA? I'm going with no as a hunch but there is NO info on this.

You can quote me on that.

i want it.. like NOW! lol..

I guess I'll have to wait until the skin for Wisbar comes out.. and settle with that until the real thing comes out..

but by that time the 6700'll prolly be out of comission.

[dzuchowski]

the release date will be Feb 2007 for the ppc-6800...
I still dont get why they went back to an outdated design of the 6700 but with the keyboard of the 6700? I would have done the 6700 design but with evdo rev c, wi-max, 8 gigs of rom and 17 tarabytes of ram, an interal hdd, online video to video support, ms voice command 1.6 or newer, windows mobile 6 and OS/X Mobile so you can duel boot, 17" hdtv screen, java support, full ie 7 support, media player 11 and realplayer support, full office support, trans flash 100 tarabyte card, nucular fusion power instead of a battery, does what you want it to before you even know what you want it to do! :P

No Crossbow like I said...but AKU 3 is nice at least. The rest looks good too.

Nice specs, my palm has already begun to itch.

I just hope Verizon dosn't have an exclusive on it?

[Wideawake]

It looks like they do tho.... I may have to signup for Verizon tooo.

since the patient office said that users can now unlock there phones, Sprint, VZW, Cingular must let us use our phones on there networks provided they match there network ie. gsm on gsm and cdma on cdma. sprint to VZW or T-mobile to Cingular. So buy from who ever and get the unlock code and bring it to who ever!!!

[xclusiv_1]
