Default ? for hw6900 owners

Is the holster that comes with the 6900 the same as the one that comes with the 6500 series? In other words, plastic, with a hook at the top that is spring loaded so the device can easily slide in and out?

Here's a pic of the 6500's from a review:


If the answer is yes, then you have made my day!

I got the Hw6945 directly from HP last month. I had to go find the box. I left the thing (still in its plastic wrap) in the box.
It looks to be the same one. Makes sense it would be as the 6900 has the same case size as the 6500. I can even see where the missing SD slot was.
Well, anyways, I saw a review where they said this holster had a very good belt holder/clip. :lol:

HOORAY! Thanks for the responses, fellas. I gotta have a holster for my scrub pants, and I thought I was going to be stuck with a 700wx because Seidio didn't make one for the 6900 series. I am ordering a 6915 from mobile planet (I didn't see the 6945 on the HP site until too late). Any problems with getting a 15 vs. a 45? I am so glad to not have to be stuck with the Treo, the lack of wifi was killing me!!!

Thanks again.

There's a document on the HP site that lists all the variations on the model numbers, and what country and service they're made for. The 6915 may be set up for European companies(?). I changed to Cingular just for the 6945. Popped the sim chip out of the temp phone I got and into the 6945 and immediately had service.
BYW - a case for a 6500 will work - it just has an extra cutout for the SD slot the 6900 doesn't have. I using the Piel Frama 6500 case now and really don't notice the extra cutout.

I was really impressed with how easy it was to get everything set up on Cingular.

When I got my SP5 I had to set everything manually. I-Mate have some settings on their site, but I couldn't connect to the GPRS at all with those. After some searching, I found a post over at Howard's forum that did the trick.

With the 6940, I just let it set up itself and it worked first time.
