No, I have many sources reporting many things, and some things I can talk about (mostly what's out there) and somethings I can't (mostly not what's out there).
I wrote the PPC-6600 "Upgrade" article to force Sprint to disclose on-the-record that an upgrade will be offered for existing owners. It was a clear, yet at the same time, carefully worded piece of consumer advocacy, and it served its purpose. When everything's disclosed I think it will be clear why. Regardless of what the 6700 does turn out to be, 6600 owners would have been otherwise left feeling forced to upgrade.
What I have said all along as to what the 6700 is, is that it is a device that would not be motivating for other 6600 owners to upgrade to for the most part with the exception of it is EV-DO enabled.

WHAT?!?
nobody has anything to say?

well Telus then seems like it has a way better deal with the same thing but at half the price.....
Copenhagen, it looks like we have the same device, what have to done to yours to make it Better?

Telus is starting it's evdo network in the first quater of 2006. Hopefully we should get an update offered to us as well.
I don't think telus' version of the ppc6600 has evdo enabled out of the box. <- can someone check on this??
I havn't done any upgrades yet.. as there havn't been any offered to date.
The bluetooth stack on this unit is fairly stable and the radio and ext rom are both one of the newest versions available. I've only found rom updates for GSM units and others that are incompatible with our CDMA version of the ppc6600.
I'm not sure how many other countries are using this exact model of ppc6600. I know new zeland telecom, sprint & verison, telus and bell are using the same. That should indicate that if sprint releases an update, then so will the others. Sprints update renames their model of ppc6600 to ppc6700...
When that time comes, paying ANOTHER ~600 bucks would be outrageous. The phone just came out here and I paid the 350 w/ 3 yrs contract. I would pay for an update of course but it would have to be reasonable... 600+ is not. If sprint DOES release an update, it will make its way to xda. By that time, hopefully, the forum here should recognize our ppc6600 and make a separate section for us where we can test and update our models f.o.c.
I'm hopeing that if and when there is an update, wm2005 is included but I dont think it will be. It will happen. Eventually someone will sort it all out, and then we can live in wm2005 land happily ever after.
Well I bit the bullet and only signed a one year contract with Telus, that's as much as I can stomach with them. As far as EVDO goes I am not so sure. Telus is on strike so not much will happen and they are projecting this might go until 2006. What I would really like to see is to have them finalize the Number Portability business and then I could take my number and go GSM. I think that is the best option we have right now for getting WM5 on a device in Canada aside from I-mate and Rogeres.
did you update your ext rom? where did the .115 come from?
gimee gimee gimee!!!!!
is ther any improvement over the .00 release?

ok, that's the 3rd release date i've heard so far and second name change. i've got ATT reps in the building I work (CSRs in a call center) They couldn't confirm anything for me (and I asked 5 of them, and not noob csr either, people with over 1yr exper). So it looks like it'll be released this month but I'm not gonna hold my breath anymore for a certain day or features (ie front video camera). Where are you getting this info?

I have a good friend that works at a very large att store and him and his manager cannot get any definitive info so I would venture to say that these dates are just wishful thinking.

It's been confirmed on other sites the name will be AT&T 8925. "Tilt" was a nickname unless you have new super uber info.
People comming here with an old info and old dates lets see what happens over the weekend.
It has already been confirmed that the AT&T warehouse will be receiving phones on Sept 3rd.
As far as when your local retailer will get the phones is a completely different story.

Sorry about the upstir. This is what happen, I went in the At&t store and ask them when will the Kaiser be available. Nobody knew what the kaiser was. The customer rep. said we have a new phone coming out in Sept. called the Tilt. He show me a photo of the pocket pc, and there it was the HTC Kaiser. It looked just like the kaiser. He said the the phone keyboard slides out and then you can tilt it upwards, hence the name " TILT". He said it will be on sale around Sept. 12. He didn't give me a price. But what i'm going to do is go back and talk to him/them again to get a price, and I want him to tell me again the release date for this phone. I will report back tonight with a answer. If everything he tells me is true, i'll even post the store number and ya'll can talk to him. I have no reason to lie. Why make up some **** like this, we are all waiting for this phone.
O.K , I just got back from the AT&T store located at 1880 Okeechobee Blvd. West Palm Beach Florida. The telephone numbers to the retail sales rep. is 561-687-8600 and 561-573-3542. His email address is [email protected] and His name is Joshua St. Louis but his name tag said " Jean". Now this time he called his manager to assist me with the question I had asked above. The manager confirmed that the new pocket pc will be called the " AT&T Tilt " but the release date will be on Sept. 24. Now this is strange because now I have four to five release dates. Sept. 3, but this is Labor Day Holiday in the U.S and I don't think the stores will be open on Sept. 3-4. The other dates are Sept. 13, Sept. 14, Sept. 18, which came from the retail sales consultants, and Sept. 24 which came from the manager at the AT&T store. So I told you I didn't lie about ****. Go call yourself because I was just passing on info that came from the AT&T source. If I could fly to taiwan, I would ask the owner of HTC himself/herself , but I can't. I'm just going to have to wait for the damn phone like everybody else. So don't come down on me people.
Sept 3 is Labor Day
Everyone is quoting Sept. 3rd as the release date, but I'm pretty sure AT&T stores aren't even open that day.......
I am not sure how much clearer I can make it... let me try again.
The AT&T Warehouse is Fort worth Texas or whatever will receive the phone from HTC on Sept 3rd. Not the retail stores, not the Corporate stores, not that guy with the cell phone cart in the mall, JUST the AT&T warehouse.
They will be receiving around 3,000 phones. You MIGHT see the website update to list the phone on Sept 3rd/4th. However, the device will not be widely available until mid-late September.
You are correct sir

Thanks for the info. It looks like, based on several other member's experiences with ATT stores, that they aren't really informed on wtf is going on with the phone until it pops up in their delivery truck with the marketing material. Some ATT Reps are calling it the 8925 and others are calling it the "tilt". I wouldn't trust anything an average in store ATT sales person is saying right now until the phone is released. That's good information though..
What amazes me is that these guys working in the phone store usually could give a flying rats ass about their upcomming products. In sales if I worked for ATT I would be all over that. That's what happens when you take kids out of high school and have them selling phones they know little about.
"The iPhone is the best phone we sell. it does everything!"
"usually" ... the 1st batch are "non-branded/unlocked" anyway ( usually )
So ... why does it matter what it is called ??
I'll called it --- >>> MINE !!! thank you very much !!
i just checked with my local AT&T store 2 days ago and the manager said that its still on for the 3rd of sept. and that the pricing will be $499 as an upgrade or 1 year contract, $399 as a new 2 yr contract, plus a $50 mail in rebate that brings it down to $349 and for some reason i seem to be eligible for another $50 off and a waived upgrade fee.
hope that helps
::EDIT:: it was a corp. store and they had both the pricing info and the rebate forms already... ohh and it WILL be the TILT

WOW. cool! i sure wish i was able to talk to someone at AT&T that actually was up to date with windows mobile devices. today i talked to someone and he said "im not really sure, but theres a new razr comming out" lol.
I just hope the 19.99 MediaMax will work with the Tilt
the best bet is to call at&t on monday and see what they say.

In the amount of time it takes to type "I'm pretty sure AT&T Stores aren't even open on Labor Day" you could actually call one and find out that they are!!!

If $399 for a 2yr contract is true that that is definitely a very good price!
Unfortunately, Dell will not be offering the update for customers locked to T-Mobile in the U.S. With each software update, the requirements for offering the update vary by carrier, region and device, and Dell has decided to not offer this update to T-Mobile customers in the United States.

If that certain build requires rooting, it won't help.
On the phone with Dell Mobility as I type this. I'm not going to stand for this, and neither should any other tmobile streak owners. They will be sending me a wifi only, or refunding me my money. Will post an update when something is resolved. Be it good or bad.
Yea that's not gonna happen, as tmo stopped selling s7's long before dell made any announcements of HC.
You're just as likely to be able to get them to refund EVERY s7 because it's unlikely to recieve ICS when it comes out.
This is bull****!! We pay MORE for the 4G model, and now we get screwed by Dell, just because THEY decide that THEY don't want to offer it to us!!!
Dell never mentioned offering HC on any of the packages/information when it was available.
The only time it will is on the newest ones that come with it pre-installed.
Carrier devices ALWAYS recieve updates slower/last on virtually ALL android devices.

It sucks, but they never officially promised HC. We bought the device as a 2.2, and so we got what we were told we were getting. The Wi-Fi's were occasionally advertised as OTA HC coming, but the 4G never was.
I definitely would never buy or use anything from T-Mobile or Dell again, but other than being a poor customer retention experience, we got what we paid for.
Been waiting for 3.2 on the streak 7 so I could sell it, this sucks having the T-mobile version. Love my Asus Transformer better than this paperweight. I am pissed, calling T-mobile shortly.

Let us know how your call goes with T-Mobile. Other than being unhappy with getting exactly what we paid for, I don't see that they have to or will do anything.
Seeing as it is still warranteed, I want to see if Dell will swap it out with WiFi model and cancel T-Mobile data plan.

lazy b4sta4rds!, they could have kept the same 4g modem info and added to wi-fi version..even if T-mobile was uninterested in paying, they could have easily made a 4G HC update for this device. Must be all about the money..
Not to worried, Not like I would have even used the damn thing or even downloaded the update for that matter..
Just would have liked official 4G firmware for DJSteve HS ROM's. Im sure the Dj's next update will support 4G somehow, so Im not too concerned..
...last damn dell thing I buy in a long time.. thats for sure..
I would post on the dell community page too, but cant seem to register as their signup page is b0rked in my IE browser @ work on XP.
**** off dell and t mobile,
I bought the 4g for a service that more and now I find it less.
but how the hell you doing?
only deserve to lose customers, pieces of ****.
---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------
Now I just hope that DJ Steve do a custom for 4g ... I hope with active calls and text messages ...
I serve
So the next question is, how do I get my hands on one of djsteve's roms? I assume that is the best way to go?
Neither company really cares. Dell is getting out of the mobility business all together (they stated just today that there would be no more Windows Phone's from them) and T-Mobile will either be taken over by AT&T or go belly up according to their parent company.
Either way, in their eyes, there is no compelling business reason to offer HC on the 4G Streak 7.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the T-Mobile ROM was quite different from the Wifi ROM. Probably not that different under the hood, but was branded, some tweaks etc..
So in that case, it's not as if Dell can push out updates to T-Mobile devices. T-Mobile would have to take the Dell HC update, do whatever it wants to, then make that available. It's the same with every branded carrier device, they don't want their customers de-branding it. If anyone is to blame here, it's T-Mobile.
This is why branding should be abstracted from the base. Not in the framework etc, but rather at a "theme" level. Custom installed apps, sure, whatever. But don't make deep changes.
Its all about the money, and , screw the end user.. They dont care about us or the device they created.. ugghh... Dell trys to be "people" oriented but this behavior disgusts me.

I really want to know from those who have a Verizon rep how have they answered about getting the Nexus 6...
I am the person that approves and denies for our Verizon account I am the that guy for our FedEx like company (it's not FedEx but we have the same dollar power and global brand) so our Verizon rep knows we are good since we drop made $$ for line, plans, etc. I have asked them to be ready to order when Verizon gets in it and they have been on standby to get the news since the pre-sales in Oct with Google... Today they reported this which killed me...and I want to know if you have a Verzion person are you getting the same info?

In regards to the Nexus 6 Verizon Wireless will not be carrying it however you can go to the Google website and purchase it there and we will be able to activate it in our system since it will be compatible with our network.

It could simply be a matter of him not being aware of carrying the Nexus 6, or being unable to actually confirm availability of the Nexus 6 since even Verizon themselves have yet to say when they'll have it available. I mean think about it. AT&T has an information page up about the Nexus 6, but nothing yet for when pre-orders/orders will be available. T-Mobile has had a pre-registration page for a while now to be notified of when one can be purchased. Verizon is the only one of the Big 3 that has yet to say ANYTHING in regards to the Nexus 6... at least from what i can find.

I ordered it from Google. So all it tells me is that my phone will work when it gets here in a couple weeks.
I just picked up this phone cause it was finally able to work on Verizon but I can't get any mobile data. I can get on the internet just not make or receive calls and texts. Total Wireless uses Verizon's network so I can't figure out why I am having trouble. I bought a new sim,tried 4 different apn combinations, talked with TW customer service for over 45 minutes and can't find a reason why I can't get calls. Anyone else out there with this phone in a similar situation and if you got it fixed how'd you go about it? Thank you all for your time and hope someone can chime in on the problem.
You need your sim configured with "CDMA-Less" profile. The TW reps are not the brightest, but if you do a search for CDMA-less profile you'll see even verizon reps don't know about this.. I hope you get this sorted. I have TW and vzw with gudp account. let me know if you get this fixed. I want the 128GB model.

Thank you for the reply. Ispoke with TW tech service yetserday morning and told them that is what the Razer customer support said about the cdma less side of the service. They told me to leave the Sim in the phone for 24 hours to configure but it is way past the 24 hour mark and still can't make or receive calls and texts. I have a number the TW tech gave me that's a direct line to him so I'm going to have to call. 800.00 for a phone I can only use for internet is way too high

Might as well give up on it. Bee on the phone with TW tech manager and with Verizon level 3 tech support.Verizon can't change mine because my account is with TW. TWcan't change it cause the change has to be made on Verizon's side. So basically any mvno of Verizon will not work. Was told Verizon prepay will but I get 6gb of data for 35 a month.Dont see me paying more for less data just to keep a phone

Have you thought about contacting razor? And going about getting a FULL refund. Every other phone with verizon support works on total wireless. I'm mad and i don't even have the phone...
They didn't get the phone verizon certified till a few days ago:

To let razor and other people know it won't work with total wireless... I still want the 128GB model... What is worse is my local best buy has the 64GB model for $645.

I can get a refund and probably will. I have contacted Razer support and they said the first batch of phones that shipped on the 10th wouldn't even work for Verizon. A bunch of hoops had to be jumped through just to get a text message and even then it was spotty. If a person is on a Verizon mvno and wants to get the phone my advice would be to wait till the newness wears off a little and see if the bugs get ironed out. 645 is cheaper than what I paid. The BB where I live is 779$ over 850.$ after tax for the 64gb model

Thanks for making this thread though. Get that refund and get the phone again down the road. The Oneplus 6 will get CDMA-less verizon support and I hope that works on total wireless. I've had zero problems with it and all my verizon phones work in it. If the LG V40 was notch-less like this phone I'd get that. The pixel phones are a no go because the lack of sdcard support, I like to carry my music with me.
BUGS
That's part of the reason I'm waiting on the 128GB model, it only exists on razor's website and clearly there's a showstopping bug.... None of reviewers even talk about it either.
One this review they make a stupid comment about wanting less ram and 128GB the date on it is 10/10/18

I perhaps think that going for a 6GB DRAM / 128 GB storage might be more welcome than the 8GB/64GB configuration however - I wonder exactly what users would need to do in order to hit 8GB of DRAM on a phone.
I've noticed a number of journalists already comment on the price. The last generation was $699, so this one being $799, with the feature changes is perhaps to be expected in a world where $999+ for a flagship device seems to be increasingly the norm.

Anyways let me know your end result with all this I appreciate it.
Ok update time. By sticking an old T-Mobile SIM in the phone and going in apn menu,if u put Tw apn in then pull out old SIM and put in Tw sim and make sure it's on global with advance lte calling checked I can make and receive calls,and send texts and pics but can't receive texts or pics. Don't know why that is but still working on it.
In 7.0 and above Google has locked apn settings on cdma phones so u have to use a gsm sim to access the app list.It doesn't have to be an active sim,just one that's gsm. Hope this helps anyone that wants this phone or has it and has the same issue as me.

The texts are being sent to your phone via cdma which the phone does not have the radio for hence the need for cdma-less profile on sim card. How's data for you?
Data is fine. It was before.just before there was no cellular network connection.

Nobody wants this phone to work on total wireless more than me.. Thank you for the continued updates..
I do have a few questions:
When did you get the phone? The exact date.. Did you have to update the phone or check for updates?
If you read this thread this guy talks about the issue even after Verizon certification on the 25th

Just an FYI to anyone still waiting on their device:
I received my phone today and had no trouble using my existing SIM card. Had no issues getting the LTE network, sending/receiving calls, and sending texts. I did still have the issue of not receiving texts. I jumped on a Verizon support chat, mentioned the CDMA-less fix, and it was applied to my profile. Once that happened, texts started flowing in.
Just wanted to let folks know that this had to be done even after the Verizon certification on the 25th.

I got the phone on Monday and as soon as I turned it on it updated.No asking if I wanted to just went straight to it. It is fine if you are on Version you can ask for the cdma-less profile but The TW tech manager said she didn't know what that meant and the Verizon tech o spoke to said since I was on a mvno of Verizon that he couldn't do anything for me.I asked if he would explain to the TW person but apparently that was too much to ask for.

Could the verizon rep still see your account even though is it with total wireless? The TW reps are useless in most cases. and I wouldn't trust them to screw in a light blub. The oneplus 6T will be like the razor phone 2 and require a CDMA-less profile, so TW will have to do something about this down the road. You could port your number to tracfone and probably have everything working., the company that owns tracfone own TW. I've been reading about people porting their number to google voice and forwarding call to whatever provider they are using.
Just a question: Did you add the IMEI number from the razor phone to your totalwireless account either via the web page or phone rep? There has to be a way for total wireless to setup a CDMA-less profile on your phone.
I asked if they could but the tech manager acted like she didn't know what I was talking about. Like if I had asked her if elephants fly. I know it can be done, it's just a matter of finding someone at TW that can and will do it
Well I been on another go around with TW tech support about getting a cdma-less profile and once again get told they have no idea what it is and when I said to consult with Verizon support to find out how to enable it on my account I was told that they could not do that. So I will be switching to H20 or Cricket and taking the phone back and order a OP6T. maybe after a month or 2 I'll go pick one up again.

I got this from the OPO forums, and didn't note the credit to who posted but here's this:
The CDMA-less feature is an available feature, meaning, unless the tech support person sees it as available for the system, he cannot add it. This is why some people get this feature added quickly by tech support and some people cannot. If tech support cannot add the CDMA-less feature, you need to tell them to look up on the network and billing system what the phone is showing up as. In 99% of cases once the IMEI is received, the network updates properly and the phone is registered as a OnePlus 6T but in the billing system it shows up unspecified/unrecognized. In this situation the tech cannot add the CDMA-less feature because he/she cannot see it as available. To verify this, if you login to your Verizon account your phone will not show as a ONEPLUS 6T. This means that there is a discrepancy and when the clueless tech is trying add this CDMA-less feature he/she doesn't see it.
The solution is to ask the Tech person to SYNC the network and billing so that the billing side can also see the phone as a OnePlus 6T. When this is done, and his side is refreshed, the CDMA-LESS feature becomes available. Once it is available, he/she can activate it.
