(http://www.digisal.com/jl//images/stories/6700T.jpg)In late October, Sprint released the PPC-6700 to thier Business account customers. I happen to be a Business acount customer and I debated for months about upgrading to this phone. In late November, I finally bit the bullet and bought it.

Right away you notice the difference in size between the two phones. Its awesome. It feels more like a phone and I dont feel like I am holding a brick to my head. Dont get me wrong, I was never embarrased to put it to my head when my Bluetooth headset died.

Of all the features that this phone has there is one that made me want to have this phone.. . .

Nice! Question though ... the SiriuCE? Could you not hear the streaming feed directly from their web site via your browser or does this not work with the Mobile 5 OS? I know next to nothing about the mobile platform other than it is a hot development area.

It is cool that you are near the major airport to get the EVDO. By comparison I don't even have a cell phone where I live because we have no towers LOL. They are slowly gaining ground and we are supposed to have a tower soon. If and when we do I will be looking to jump on the cell phone market.

That is one kick arse geek toy!

NO cell phone towers? but you finally got Broadband so that is cool. And yeah, the Pocket IE is very limited. No Javascript support or Java for that matter so the website wont work for streaming. The player on thier website is pretty slick because you can see the artist name, with SiruCE you dont get info like that.

Now those are SWEET! I am still working my Toshiba e355 - I think someone managed to hack out some wifi via the usb dongle, but I still have nowhere to wifi to, anyway. I am definately planning on seeing about a good PPC Cellphone in the next little while. I'd love to be able to hook up a good nights and weekends (PERFECT FOR ME) package with data.

I am planning on putting that old PPC-6600 on ebay and hope to get no less than 300 for it. If you get sprint up there and have 300 to spair let me know.

i will throw in the Sena case and a 256MB sd card with two power supplies.
