Friday Fun: Now Available Sprint PPC-6601; Yes, We Want All of the Power

Oooohhhhhhh......Ahhhhhhhhhhh

And don't forget the auto memory wipe feature. Every time the battery goes dead or pops off the back when its massive size causes you to drop it everything and I mean everything it completely wiped from the device. Reset to factory new you don't even have to press a button. If you want to keep that all important word document you have been working on you better be sure you have enough battery to make it to an outlet after your flight.

DO. WANT. POWER!

aww, man. Another Palm Pre ripoff?

OOPS!

OH and dont forgt to ask for the 6600 if you want the camera

Why is this on here? And 128MB of RAM was incredible at that time, maybe 2 other Windows Mobile devices had it at the time. There were 2 generations after that phone that went down to 64MB before going back up to 128MB with the Kaiser and 288MB with the Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2.

Well done. I actually double checked the date on this post half way through reading it to verify snark presence.

Even if you didn't remember this phone, the Red Sprint lettering is a dead giveaway. "Another Palm Pre knock off" ha.

This was a beast of a phone (in size, not in specs). The funny thing is that I actually still have it, although I haven't used it in years.

I just traded my Samsung i700 from 2002 for the Imagio because Verizon never offered a 3.5 in screen anything less than that on a wimo phone is stupid. I also hate sliding keyboards. I would have upgraded to this phone at the time if it had been just a touch sceen
qvga on a 3.5 may not be pretty but it did work and you could actually see it when the went to the tiny 2.8 screens I always felt I needed a magnifying glass

The Imagio is very nice. But I still would like a bigger screen, I will check out the HD2 when or if it comes out.

Many days I wish I still had mine.. I miss the big screen even if it was only 240x320. Sprint also had a software update to allow EVDO but it was never released. If the internals of the 6601 were in the Hitachi G1000 case I would still have my G1000...

I am tired of squinting at my Treo 800W.

Wow, who would have thought it!! I still have one NIB in my basement collecting dust!!! ;)

Ya, the blue angel got me into pocketpc phones at the times. It was great. I missed the screen size and am happy that I have a Tilt 2 for a larger screen.
400mhz processor was high end too if I remember correctly. Most everything else was down in the 200mhz range I think.

Dang, I didn't expect my post on PPCGeeks to make it this far. lol It was an amazing device at its time!
