The FCC documents aren't too revealing. What's known is that the device features tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900)/GPRS/EDGE/W-CDMA support, Bluetooth, and Windows Mobile 5.0. There are also factors hinting at the inclusion of a <a href="http://www.blackberry.com/products/suretype/index.shtml">SureType</a>-style keyboard and a dual-pivot hinge for some swiveling and flipping action.

Tri-band?
What gives?

I'm getting a little concerned with this trend.

Tri-band?
What gives?
Try something more like, no 850MHz? What gives?

That blocks out a quarter of the GSM towers in the US.

The folks at PCS Intel seem to think that Sprint might be interested in the i770. Read Here (http://www.pcsintel.com/content/view/1313/9/) Its towards the end of the article.

I'm looking to purchase a PDA phone within the next couple months. I was debating between the i730 and XV6700 for Verizon, but perhaps I should wait for the i770 seeing as though the i730 is almost a year old. :)
