I had this in my hands a few days ago, not a big fan. I like the 6600 more, though the stylus coming out of the antenna is interesting.

too bad they put a camera on it

Inevitable Telus was going to carry this one after they released the Treo.

Gotta have something to appeal to the Palm crowd and the Windows crowd. Nice that this has the 5.0 software....heard good things about it. I wanna play with this when we get it in my store.

I still have to use a smart phone that will last me more than 2 days. BB 7100 series, with EVDO will probably kill the battery even worse.

Focus:

Anybody have a launch date for the 6700 yet?


edit: nevermind, i clicked on the link and i guess it's already available.

hmm just checked out the telus webpage and it looks like telus has crippled the bluetooth function...
