said by ninjatutle  :keypad Wrong. This is the successor to the PPC-6700 (which I currently have), and it is in fact equipped with a full QWERTY slideout keypad. The only thing it really is missing is a little bulk and the annoying antenna stub.
Overall I'd say it's a pretty sharp looking phone; I'm considering purchasing one myself, but I'm going to wait until EVDO Rev A. is deployed here before shopping around.

Do you think it's a firmware or hardware issue which is preventing the release of a EVDO Rev. A enabled phone right now? |

The Rev.A is probably bigger in size and gives out more heat. I know my SCP-8400 EV-DO Rev.0 gets hot and the battery dies in 2 hours of constant operation of the EV-DO network which could be preventing the release of Rev.A at this point in time.

Upgradeable via firmware, it says so right on the Sprint website.

Per a Sprint eng I had a chance to chat with (at Sprint's HQ, no less) its more of a device compat issue than anything. They're pushing for data cards and software development before phones, as 99% of phone users won't ever notice Rev 0 vs Rev A.
I was told to not hold my breath until the end of the year, unofficially of course.
