I hope that you do recieve an actual ppc6600 but I think given the competence sprint has shown in handling your situation to date its more likely you will recieve another ppc6601. Hopefully I am wrong but since we have seen no signs of the ppc6600 being available for sale I think its more likely that the person you spoke to was mistaken.

I am anxiously awaiting the ppc6600 myself and if they are available it will mean I dont have too much longer to wait.

Hopefully I have already already played all the odds against me and now all odds are in my favor! :hee:

But at least one good this is that with all the issues with this whole process The National Sales Manager has tagged my account as high visibility/priority at Corp so they are watching it as well.

Here's to a wing a prayer it comes within the 15 or so days! ;)

8an you give a brief synopsis. By the way, this is from a disillusioned 650 owner (3rd with bad sound) and am looking for the 6600 to be available.

Getting 6600 With Free Upgrade
---------------------------------------------------

Okay....it is official....all my pain and suffering with 2 defective phones, month long delays, and two lost replacement orders :furious: have paid off!!! :joy:


SPRINT IS SENDING ME A PPC-6600 to replace my PPC-6601....WITHOUT ANY EXTRA UPGRADE CHARGE!!!!


I don't even think these are even available to order yet!!! If I am not the first in the USA to get this phone from Sprint...then I am at least among the first few!!!

==================
Here is what happened (you can skip this part this is just therapeutic venting on my part):
==================

I have been trying to get my one with the cracked screen replaced for nearly 4 weeks now. It took two weeks to get authorization to replace the phone through warranty instead of insurance. They placed my replacement phone order on the 9th...sent the return kit but lost the phone order. My Sprint National Sales Manager contact then placed a second a replacement order for me on the 18th.....they lost that order too. But then they found my original order that now had 3 Samsung VG-1000 phones waiting to process!!!!! That is a joke of phone compared to the PPC-6601 (but nice just as stand alone phone). After contacting the National Sprint Manager again he directed me to cancel all orders, place a new order, and he was passing my case up for high visibility at Sprint Corp due to all the errors in taking 15 days to process a 3 day processing order by losing two orders, including the one he personally placed in my behalf. Two days ago I called placed a new order. Yesterday I called and confirmed it has shipped.

Today I got a call from the processing saying they have not shipped it, but need a CC payment to cover the phone until I return the old one. I explained the situation and asked if I can get the 6600 in instead because of nearly a month getting this resolved. She put me on hold....found a phone...and ordered it for me for no extra charge. The only catch is that is backordered and will be there anytime in the next 3-15 days.

Since I now have the BT mouse for my 6601 the cracked screen is not a big issue anymore, so it is worth the wait!

Any idea what they cost? After reading this thread I'm drooling for a 6600.

I thought the difference between the 601 and 600 was the 600 had a camera. Camera not mentioned on Sprint website.

[Calvin&Hobbes]

No idea when it will be released at all.

Yes the only difference is that the 6600 has a camera...though I have to admit by all accounts the Treo 650 camera is the same on paper, but apparently a lot better in real life.
