PPCMD,

If you ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY need a 6000 series device right now, it's understandable. But I have a gut feeling the Mac Sync solutions will be ready by the time WM5 devices actually ship. For myself, it would make no sense to spend money on a solution that I just going to "throw away" in a short time span.

For MAC users like me who have to wait for MissingSync or PocketMAC to support a new device let alone the new OS and how it may differ in its sync methods the 6515 will be a good in between step for me. I will get the 6700 early next year if support for WM5 synchronization gets to the MAC.

Cool! Proud to be hw6515 owner. Learn something new about the camera take and send picture feature, great!

All this means, we're one step closer to the 6700. :) Yippy!

That may be true, but I don't think that IT departments would think the same. Going back to your point, as a "knowledgeable consumer", I certainly wouldn't purchase a 6500, knowing full well a WM5, fully loaded device was waiting in the wings.

Well once you've had the 6315, you want to get your hands on the first thing that comes down the road.

I can't imaging why anyone would want this device knowing full well that a 6700 is right behind it. Unless of course, the price of the 6500 is considerably less, which I highly doubt.
