PPC-6800 Coming Soon to Sprint

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Submitted by Ed Hardy

Evidence is mounting that Sprint will begin offering a new Pocket PC phone in the near future. There has not yet been an official announcement by the carrier, but there have been numerous leaks and unconfirmed reports on this.

The device — a version of the HTC Titan — will be called the Sprint 6800, and it is expected to replace the PPC-6700 in this carrier’s line up.

What’s New

The new model will supposedly have some noticeable improvements over its predecessor; although what’s probably the most noticeable of these is something the 6800 will lack: a large external antenna.

Despite this, it will offer faster wireless data transfers… at least in theory. It will have both Wi-Wi b and Wi-Fi g, and its EV-DO service will be upgradeable to Revision A. In addition, it will include Bluetooth 2.0.
