I believe HTC has much better looking phones coming out, might not be CDMA with GSM, but then I personally don't like to use my phone while traveling unless my company is paying for it :)
HTC's TyTN is also an awesome looking phone with all the features packed into it.
Both Cingular and T-Mobile will be coming out with HTC phones later this year. So I'm looking forward to them, and will probably give up my Treo 700w from Verizon (seriously lacking in features like WiFi) for one of Cingular's HTC phones.
This is a step backwards in Hardware if you ask me. yes it is a world phone... but it is an 'old' body on it..... kinda boring.
Being the picky individual that I am, I also don't see any OK or Windows buttons on the front facia (I of course see them on the keyboard). Having a k-jam I know not having these hardware keys make one handed operation more difficult. Thank goodness an app like smartskey gives wizard owners this functionality.

I think MS should mandate the implementation of these buttons on every PPC PE device.
Nice looking phone. I wonder if it has A2DP.
Costs can't be released at this time. But rest assured we will have the jump on a review of this phone..
That is a nice looking phone. Great Scoop Dave!

I have seen a Nokia GSM phone from Sprint, but it was not CDMA compatible. Being a dual CDMA and GSM phone will give Sprint a boost in the corporate world. Does Verizon have a similar dual network phone?

Any info on cost? One would assume that it is going to be a little higher than average just because of double technology that is built into the phone.
I really think this is a great new wave for Sprint.. Also I appreciate them giving me this scoop a few days back to share with all of you first..
That is fantastic Dave! Way to go with the exclusive!
