I want to get a PocketPC phone and am with Cingular. I was going to go with the HTC Wizard. I like the 6515 but want wi-fi which it doesn't have. The 200 mhz processor bothers me but I've heard it's actually faster than the 6515's since it's dual core. Is this true?
Now that the 6900 is coming out that changes things a lot.
1. Will it be released for Cingular and if so, when?
2. How will speed between the 6900 and HTC Wizard vary?
3. How will battery life compare?

The 6900 battery life will likely be mediore in comparison too the Wizard. I use the i-mate Kjam (Wizard) and I can go 2 sometimes 3 days without chaging. With the 6515, 1 day max....

I have never used the 6900 for obvious reasons, but I can imagine the battery life will be on par with the 6515. As for carrier, no clue atm, wouldn't count Cingular out though.

Yes I think the Kjam (Wizard) is a dual core samsung processor. I tested it out and the thing was fairly quick.

Recent review of the HP iPAQ 4700 vs other PDA's such as the X50v/ X51v

I see the 8125 is now available through B2B but not for consumers. Does anyone have it yet and if so what are your opinions? Also, is there any way for a regular consumer to get it this way?

Also, I left this out but I know for memory expansion the Wizard uses MiniSD. I think the same is true with the 6900 as well. I see them listed already as 1 gig cards. I think I heard 2 gig cards will be out with time. Is that true and what is the max. possible size of a MiniSD?

i've been burned too many times by HP to ever carry one of their devices again. I'm telling you now DONT BUY HP! Their entire purpose in life is to screw the customer. Just look how many iterations of that hw line they have been through in such a short time. They have no concept of support. The hw65xx series should have been upgraded...but no. These guys can take a hike.

Get the 8125....
