Exclusive Details: UTStarcom HTC PPC-6800 and SMT-5800 Revealed
Written by Christopher Price
Thursday, 14 September 2006
UTStarcom has revealed two devices from HTC that are aimed at U.S. CDMA carriers. Details are slowly emerging, however PCS Intel can independently confirm both devices have been finalized and are in-testing at both Verizon Wireless and Sprint.
The PPC-6800 (or XV6800 as Verizon will likely brand the device) is the CDMA counterpart to HTC's Hermes TyTN (aka Cingular 8525 in the United States). With EV-DO Rev A, and an improved camera, the PPC-6800 includes a refined design that removes many complaints from the PPC-6700. The keypad and controls are similar to the PPC-6700's predecesor, the PPC-6600.

More than anything else, I'm wondering about processer speed - and screen size. Any official word on that?

I think they need to bring back the bottom sliding out keyboard like the PPC6600 had, I'm sick of having to use two hands to type.

IMHO, this is way too soon for a 6700 replacement to come out, if this is so. The 6700 hasn't even been in consumer channels for an entire year. How long was it between the 6600 and the 6700?

Sprint is....it is the Samsung i-830w. It will be out the first of the month:
But it does not have Wifi, Rev A, or a camera. __________________
