If this device does have GPS, then it would be the holy grail I've been looking for - 3G data rates, full QWERTY keyboard, AND GPS!
The HP 69xx Mobile Messenger device doesn't have 3G access rates, and the HTC Hermes lacks GPS.
I have Cingular, unfortunately, so this particular device wouldn't be available to me. If it were, however, it would be difficult to choose between it and the HTC Hermes (8525).
Skype isn't a big deal in the U.S. so the processor speed is a moot point for me. |

Cingular is GSM so I can use it internationally when I travel and their coverage in the U.S. is a bit more comprehensive. Besides, Cingular gets *most* (not all) of the cool phones before the other carriers. Besides, the more I look at the Treo, the more I know I would appreciate the larger screen and more spacious slide out keyboard on the Hermes (8525). I may be wrong about the screen size difference...haven't researched the specs. |

Any news about the GPS-Feature? I am currently keeping my order for the HW6915 on hold.
A Treo with build-in GPS would be much more greater... |

I fear You are right. Its a pity especially if the Treo is still that bulky as the Treo 650. |

Wouldn't this be a good time to correct your false article then? |

kupe, stop being so petty! of course not: the time will be ripe when official specifications will be released by Sprint - on their website. |

So, idle speculation or simple pure fiction serve as ample documentation for your sources of information? Hey, didn't I hear recently you guys were sued for libel?  |

it was not pure fiction - many sources presented these specifications as "official" but it looks now that it either was official and mistaken, or fake and false. why don't you go to 100 sources that presented these specifications as official and whine there, not here?
kupe, I am getting tired of your lies, accusations and petty attacks. Stop it now or I will ban you. Be constructive or stop. |

Back at you - although you'd be hard pressed to prove me a liar (unlike yourself). If your new motto includes "Be constructive or stop," can you let us in on when you plan to follow that motto?  |
