Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 08:00 AM
"Sprint is truly enabling mobile professionals to have an office in their pocket with the Sprint PCS Vision(SM) Smart Device PPC-6601, the much-anticipated, full-color Sprint PCS Phone featuring Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 software and embedded Bluetooth(R) Wireless Technology. Marketed by Audiovox, the PPC-6601 will be available early next month exclusively through Sprint business channels for a suggested retail price of $629.99. Later this year, Sprint plans to offer another version of the device, the Sprint PCS Vision Smart Device PPC-6600, which will include an embedded VGA-quality camera with flash and video capability. This second version of the device will be offered nationwide in all Sprint sales channels, including Sprint Stores and online at http://www.sprintpcs.com."
We posted on the rumors before, and it's good to see it official -- not only will they carry the HTC Harrier (the CDMA Pocket PC Phone with slide-out keyboard), they'll be selling both camera and cameraless versions. :D The only catch is that the Harrier doesn't have integrated WiFi like the Blue Angel, and it has yet to be seen what Bluetooth profiles will be supported (the rumors circling around this morning suggest that Dial-Up Networking has been turned off on the Treo 650, which will be carried by Sprint shortly as well).
