Jerry,
You can get it now directly from HP. Cingular might have a $50-$100 rebate when they get it in a few? months. (Just the price to pay to be on the bleeding edge!)
I changed from Alltel to Cingular to get this PDA/phone. The Cingular sim card I had in the temporary phone while I was waiting for the 6945 to ship turned the 6945 on with no problems. Most of my PDA apps worked with little or no tweaking (did need a couple of new keycodes).
The only things I miss that I gave up was the larger screen and two card slots. I increased the processor speed with Pocket Hackmaster (testing at 663 now) with no problems except a little heavier battery usage.

Kinda funny that you misspelled "entry" when talking about ease of data entry on the Q in a post typed on the Q

I have used a PPCs for years and until last week had a working Dell X30 used mostly for:
Web Browsing/Web Mail
Tom Tom GPS
Calendar/Contacts
I definately will use this as an opportunity to converge to a single device but not sure if I want a PPC Phone or a Smart Phone. The two devices I am most interested in now are the HP6515 (ppc phone) and the new T-Mobile Dash.
Does anybody out there have any experience in running Tom Tom on a Smartphone? I know they have a version but don't know anything about how well it works.

Yeah but I do that on my PC too.

Hey, I'm quite happy with my TyTN. I'm not contemplating going straight SP anytime soon. I'm actually trying to come up with excuses to use my 3125.

I prefer CT.
And yes, I do use a PPC phone edition device. Partly because I prefer touch screens to the number pads on the current generation of Smartphones, partly because I find that the selection of software available for the Pocket PC platform suits my needs better than the software available for the Smartphone platform, and partly because I need access to certain files and notes, the synching of which is best handled by ActiveSync and a Pocket PC, as the current synchronization conduits available for the Smartphone just do not cut it for me.
Maybe in a generation or two I'll switch over to the Smartphone platform full-time, but imo it's just not ready yet. But then, to each his own.
