Now this looks like one nice step up from the Sprint PPC-6700.

Getting one, perris?

Time for AT&T to release WM6 or a new device. I'm bored with the 8525 and WM5.

This is pretty sweet - a PDF listing some of HTC's upcoming devices.

*wonders which one will be his next toy... talk to me AT&T*

*Hopes for a Kaiser or Polaris*
The Sedna has impressive specs, but the external design is a bit weird.

Matt, you looking to sell that 8525? I'm tired of my MPX220 and want something fresh, but don't want to shell out for brand new WM6 phone.

 

[madmatt]

NR: The Sedna has a credit card reader so it will likely be a specialty device. You have the Wing; we get the next device from HTC.

Aprox: I will sell it when AT&T delivers a new device that I like (not the Touch).

 

[NetRyder]

You have the Wing; we get the next device from HTC.

The Wing is a MDA in a new shell. It doesn't count. ;P

Of course, it's also possible for T-Mobile and AT&T to get the same device, as was the case with the Wizard. We could both end up with a Kaiser or Polaris next. That would be sweet.

 

[madmatt]

The Wing is upgraded and has some nice new features. Namely WM6.

Still no announcement on WM6 for the 8525. Q3 is too far away.

I'm holding out for the Kaiser. =]

And you just might get one. See the filename of this test ROM:

Whoa! That would be awesome! *claps*

Did I tell you I had my first experience with 3G? I was down in PA this weekend and saw the icon take the spot over the "E" (EDGE) icon. I tried it out and it was fast! Very fast compared to EDGE.

Yeah, it's very noticeable. The EV-DO connection on my Sprint Treo 700wx can stream video over Orb without a glitch. EDGE can barely support a high-bitrate audio stream.

 

[madmatt]

Sprint Treo? Since when?

 

[NetRyder]

Sprint Treo? Since when?

I've had it since October of last year. It's a Microsoft-issued phone. My work with them ended in May, but I get to keep the phone. The plan (unlimited voice + data) ends in August this year though.

The MDA on T-Mobile is still my primary phone/line.

 

[madmatt]

Boy, look at you with multiple devices. In a league of your own. =]

ya, I will be getting that...and for free too

sprint gave me the treo thingy to replace my 6700 and I don't like it much, it's the latest phone up till this 6800 but man I miss that 6700

they told me that I can trade my treo for the 6800 when it comes in and if they're good to their word that baby will be mine in a day or two

I lucked out, I have two treo's too cuz both of my phones went bad and they couldn't replace either one, one of these is a palm..I hate that one most

if anyone has a sprint 6700 and would rather have the treo let me know and we'll swap

I'm looking forward to that 6800 but I gotta tell you, I am longing for a screen the size of that iphone

 

[NetRyder]

...I am longing for a screen the size of that iphone

Haha...I know what you mean. I've only seen it in pictures so far, but that screen looks sweet. Might make a trip to the Apple store this evening to check it out in person.

Let us know what you think when you get your 6800.

 

[madmatt]

The Kaiser looks nice. It looks larger than the 8525, but I wonder how it compares.

I took a trip to the casino today, figured what the hey, I might as well tackle customer support on hold while driving

only waited a few minutes, got on the line with operator who confirmed the computer notes I get the 6800 for a swap

they say sprint stores have it now and go pick it up, will do that probably tuesday

will report
