Reviews of the Audiovox PPC-6700 (Sprint)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Sprint PPC-6700 features a spacious QWERTY keyboard, three forms of wireless (EV-DO, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth), and the latest OS, Windows Mobile 5.
The Bad: The bricklike Sprint PPC-6700 has some downfalls, including a nonstandard memory slot, no voice dialing, and somewhat sluggish performance. The LCD is also impossible to read outdoors, and it's easy to press the side buttons accidentally.
The Bottom Line: Although far from perfect, the Sprint PPC-6700 is definitely smarter than most smart phones and almost good enough to earn the title of Treo killer.
