Sprint’s PPC-6700 Review

Mobile Burn has a look at Sprint’s PPC-6700 PDA Phone, and gives it a nine page review.

Sprint’s PPC-6700 is based on the HTC Apache reference design. It is a Windows Mobile 5.0 device that packs a lot of technology into a fairly small package: including EV-DO 3G data and WiFi. Its capabilities and form factor are sure to attract business users and regular consumers alike. In fact, the PPC-6700 gave me my first contact with Sprint’s newly launched EV-DO network.

Physical Aspects

In spite of its relatively small stature, the PPC-6700 is quite a hefty device. Our test unit weighed 191g (6.7oz), 19g more than what Sprint claims for it and quite a bit heavier than the HTC Wizard based devices for GSM networks that it so closely resembles. In fact, if you ignore the antenna, it measures almost exactly the same as a Wizard based device: 108mm x 60mm x 24mm (4.3″ x 2.4″ x .9″). The antenna increases the length to 126mm (5″). The one benefit of the stub antenna is that it holds a full sized stylus, something that the Wizards lack.
