Sprint’s PPC-6700

Sprintâ��s PPC-6700Om Malik’s Broadband Blog is talking about the Sprint’s PPC-6700 and has this to say:

You may have heard the argument: When talk turns to converged consumer electronics devices, many tech industry observers point to the clock radio as one of the few success stories. Everything else, no matter the maker, tends to sacrifice usability in the name of feature-lust. So what to make of Sprint’s new HTC-designed, UTStarcom-produced, PPC6700? In addition to posing as a dual-band CDMA phone (800/1900MHz), Sprint’s new business-focused smartphone also packs both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios, operates on Sprint’s nascent EV-DO network, includes a (surprisingly good) 1.3 mega-pixel camera, the Windows Mobile 5.0 OS, an integrated QWERTY keyboard, and a removable storage slot. As it turns out, the 6700 may be the best-designed and implemented PDA phone to date.

More and more convergent devices are coming out, and some of them work well, and others don’t. Om, had a few days with the PPC-6700 and he really seems to like it. The biggest downside that I see is the price at $479 (after a $150 rebate), it is not an entry level product.
