Daxian ???

[wolfpackfan]

Any new news at all on the Daxian? Seems like we get all kinds of rumors, etc. about the new Treo 650; but don't hardly hear a murmur about the Daxian. Do we even know for sure that Sprint will be releasing the Daxian? I keep reading reviews about it and see where AT&T is getting ready to release it, but I sure wish I could hear more about it being released by Sprint. It has been a toss-up between the Daxian and the Treo 650 until I read recently that the Treo's camera is not being upgraded to any degree; now I'm very interested in the Daxian.

Its a very impressive device, if Sprint will let me do an esn swap without paying more for the pocket pc phone vission use, then I'll definetly do.

I already have the pcs vision pack, which I'm grandfathered into for $5 per month and unlimited text messaging.

I spoke with a lady at tech support today and she indicated that the Treo 650 would not probably ship until Dec.. She indicated that the Daxian 6601 would be released this month (that is the one without the camera) forgot to ask her about price. I am afraid that I will not get my Treo 650 for a little while. I will probably have to order directly from PalmOne. Hope theyt give us a discount since I already have the Treo 600 (like Handspring did) Well the wait is almost over for most of us! Have a good day and God Bless!

You can check out the user guide from the FCC site at this link:

According to the specs, it is EV-DO compliant!! (once Sprint comes online!)

It does list Bluetooth 1.1 as an included feature!

Does anyone have any idea what price range we're talking about for the camera and the non-camera versions? I'm afraid this is going to be a very expensive phone.

[DaMan]

They're probably going to be the same price. That's how it was with the Treo. You figure the components for the camera cost at most a penny or two :D

I'm guessing $649.

I spoke with someone at Sprint that said it was being tested right now and might not be released for a couple of months. I hope that isn't true :mad:

[dprout69]

I've heard 10/1, 10/20 and to this minute nada mas (any day now from juan - whatever dude). This late in the year I think it's safe to assume Christmas. Why would you want to pay all that money and not get the camera version anyway.

Yeah, I'm probably right behind you on that one. . . though I am really ancy to see if there will be wifi on the cdma version.

why not buy the cam version?? b/c i want the phone now and when the cam version is out ill have a mysterious problem with my phone and exchange it with a cam version in dec. Im just gonna be pissed i sold my treo600 and went to my temp G1000 which i ROYALLY HATE

It doesn't say if the PPC 6600/6601 will support EVDO or not. I hope it does :)

[Kash76]

There will be no WiFi or EV-DO on this model.

[pooka16]

According to phone scoop.com, it does have evdo. This is a copy and paste from the site under specs

[Kash76]

carrier-dependent


To clarify, Sprint's version will not have EVDO.

[pooka16]

Where do you get that information from??

[Kash76]

My Sprint PCS Corporate Engineering rep who had one of these units in his hands over a month ago.

[dprout69]

To clarify, Sprint's version will not have EVDO.
the information on phonescoop is a release from sprint and it says in the specs it does have evdo - whether or not that is a misprint or whether your rep got an earlier version of the phone is to be determined I guess. I can see no reason why they wouldnt release it with evdo its only logical... wait for it... wait for it... sprint isnt logical yes we know sigh

[PDAMAN]

Yah... why would Imate HTC release a CDMA version with 1xRTT and EVDO they wont make a special non evdo for sprint its not worth it. They will have EVDO notice in this artical. MUCH FASTER BROWSING AND MULTIMEDIA EXPERIANCE.. this ***** will have evdo

If it is on the device when you buy one it's not enabled as Sprint has not released EVDO. In the coming months will begin a SLOW rollout. EVDO will be in limited markets by the end of '05.

I am only passing on what I have been told.

[PDAMAN]

Correct they will just not be running evdo speeds thats alll.... when the final rollout comes it will be evdo compatible

The way they are handling the release of this phone, the end of '05 is just about when this phone should be coming out.

- Sprint release date = Whenever they feel like
- Not on the website
- Business channel = you can't have it til christmas

Just wait for the camera version right before christmas dude... you've waited this long and evidently we still have to wait a little longer (First week of November I'm expecting). A tech stated that he is going in for training on this device 10/26 and that the phone usually follows 3-7 days after. The PPC6600 I would expect second week of December as they have stated that it will be 6 weeks after the release of the PPC6601. We ought to start a support group and anytime we get the urge to buy the PPC6601 we get an electric shock... Hi, name is Bill and I am a Daxian PDA-holic

as far as user guides you could take a look at the FCC filing http://www.phonescoop.com, or you go look at the imate PDA2k I think it's called, there are a lot of people already using this phone so there must be something out there, other than that there is a dandy picture of the cover of the user guide that I just posted a couple of entries back :hee: . That's about all there is from sprint and I think we are lucky to have that with as secretive as they are being about it.

the 6601 is supposedly only going to be offered through the sprint business department, so if you have a business account you can call up telesales and get one.

Why does it have so many names?
This should be a negative for the product line. People want to see a product widely used. Especially on a device at this price point, Do the different product have different spec’s?
I understand that one is German and the other is Indian. It this true?
