Audiovox PPC-6601 Pocket PC Phone now shipping from Sprint

Maybe you can't wait a few more weeks until they start shipping the
Treo 650, or maybe you just dig the Pocket PC Phone OS
better (it's a legitimate lifestyle preference), but either way Sprint has officially started shipping that new
Audiovox PPC-6601 Pocket PC Phone. And yes, it is more or less a CDMA version of the XDA III/MDA III. It's got the same slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 128MB of memory, a 400MHz processor, Bluetooth, and an SDIO expansion card slot, with the main difference being that the PPC-6601 doesn't have the built-in 802.11b WiFi that you'll find on the XDA III. Maybe not a deal killer, but for $630 you'd sorta hope they wouldn't cut any corners, right?
