The spec sheets list the devices as having either 850/1900/2100 or 850/1700/2100 for 3G. T-Mobile's network is supposed to be 1700/2100, so these appear likely to be the very first devices that support it.

AMEN!!! Finally! Looks like I'm going to pick up the 7150 then... But where is the external LCD? Don't tell me it's underneath the keyboard... Only thing is that I wish the keys were a little more 'bubbly' for easier typing...

These show what appears to be it, at least placement-wise, though I'm not sure that it's a fully functional prototype. And it's not an LCD, but rather an OLED.

I'm assuming that just a sticker for demonstration purposes...

Also, I saw that the Treo 750v supports UMTS 2100. Does that mean it will work on T-Mobile's 3G network? 3G support on T-Mobile's network is the ONLY thing holding me back on the Treo 750v.

I think it is very cool that all these devices have the exact same specs. Now we are free to choose or form factor and not worry about missing on functionality!

That's what I thought at first too, but if you look at the other images on that site (linked to from here a few days ago), it doesn't appear to be stuck on, or for there to be anything protruding from the case there, which rather baffled me.

No, that's 2100 solely for overseas 3G networks. To support T-Mobile it has to have both 1700 and 2100.

So many options! What should I choose? Should I have 850/1700/2100 or 900/1900/2100 HSDPA/UMTS? Does a camera support video call (I'm hearing WM6 will? And it looks like GPS is out of style, isn't it? But phones do look cute! :lol:
P.S. By the way, you can preorder them already! here's a link to one of them: http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=146095
