Sprint has sent out the data sheet for their upcoming PPC-6800 (HTC Titan). What a great phone, if it only included Windows Mobile 6 and EV-DO Rev A., instead of hinting at the possibilities of being able to upgrade later. Featuring a 2.8" QVGA LCD screen, WiFi, Bluetooth, microSD card, and 2-megapixel camera with flash, auto-focus and camcorder, it is expected to launch late next month as the replacement to the PPC-6700.

As far as the battery life… You cant have alot of programs running… after you’re finished with a program, go into Settings, Memory and Running Programs and stop them… Otherwise the battery will decrease tremendously… About the e-mail… You have to send it to the person’s phone e-mail address. like if you wanted to send it to someone at t-mobile, it would be 7708388983@tmomail.net or whatever the person’s carrier’s address is. I love mine.the only thing is that when i don’t use it for a while, it goes into sleep mode, and when i turn it back on, the start menu comes up and not the page i was originally on. Anyone have any suggestions???

The phone now comes with WM6 and upgradable REV A. The battery is the same as the 6700 which lasted 3 days on light use and over a full day on heavy use.

Hey all,
I have four questions for the experts here:
1) Sound quality for people hearing my end on the 6700 has been absolutely terrible. Everyone complains and tells me to get a different style phone. I’ve always used Samsungs or LG and never had these kinds of complaints. It seems to cut in and out and take a fraction of a second to realize you’re talking before it the other person can hear my voice.
2) Bluetooth headsets are extremely tinny sounding and cut in/out even worse.
3) The battery life on my 6700 used to be fine…just like what described above. However, no suddenly it won’t hold a charge long enough to survive through the day. I have to plug it in on the way home from work to make a call.
4) where should I go to find the most stable rom update for the phone and would a rom update actually help with audio quality or just toys and trinkets?
Thanks…I’m new here,
Eric

Nah, Sprint will send you a refurbished 6700. The only way they’ll send you the next model is if it’s years later and they just don’t have any 6700’s left period. Although, one thing you can do, you can negotiate with them what it’ll cost to upgrade through your insurance and it’ll cost a lot less than buying a new 6700.

Only if you were to find one independently of Sprint. If you go through Sprint to buy one, for the discounts, it requires a 2 year contract.

If your last contract is over (usually 2 years), then they should give you the discount if you sign up for a new 2-year contract. I’d call again and ask questions if you get the same answer. Somebody’s missing something. Otherwise threaten to switch to T-mobile, who has the “Wing.”

Yeah, the only way you qualify for the rebates is if you’ve had the same phone for 18 months. If you’ve had the same device for that period of time, you qualify for the rebates. if not, it’s full price.

Tina, this is exactly why Sprint has the worst customer service out of all the cell phone companies. They simply can’t afford to use US call centers when people abuse their service and repair program and complain when they don’t get a new phone for free! Do what everyone else does and PAY some money for it. Or just get creative and take the 700wx and sell it to help offset the cost.

I took my ppc6700 to a sprint store bcuz my phone was freezing ,buzzing and not charging my battery they told me they have to order me a phone. I wonder what phone I’m gonna receive. I think that they should have the phone in the store. Being that they not selling anymore. Sprint always have to give you the run around.

It will not be available with Sprint until Motorola sends it to them so you can’t blame them for not getting it when we want it.
