Peeping Sprint PPC-6700 over the course of three days

Sprint PPC-6700

So over the course of the last three days here at CTIA in San Francisco we've gotten to play with the anticipated Sprint PPC-6700 any number of times. Every time we see one we have to go pick it up, it's kind of weird. We've just got Roman hands for the 6700. What did we think, you ask? Well, as the first reviews are starting to trickle out, it's easy to see why this phone is poised to step in as the premiere high speed data enabled qwerty keyboard equipped smartphone, but it's not without fault. Though the unit performed quickly each time we used it, there were issues with the screen orientation getting wonky. It's not that it never came back—it always would, just that it got a little confused sometimes. The sliding hinge left something to be desired (as our pals at PhoneScoop said it, it didn't "inspire confidence"), the silver keyboard and the white backlight made it extremely difficult to read, and, of course, that chubby antenna where the Wizard has none. Still, would we buy one? You kidding?
