Alltel launches HTC PPC6800

"Gee, Verizon, go ahead and take your time there, will ya? Alltel follows up Sprint to become the second network in the US to launch HTC's next-gen CDMA Windows Mobile 6 Professional handset (Alltel's site claims it's Windows Mobile 5, but we're not believing that -- check the screen shots), offering WiFi, stereo Bluetooth, 2 megapixel cam, and just about all the EV-DO you can handle as the HTC PPC6800. Grab it for $549 off contract, or $249 after two-year agreement and a $100 snail mail rebate."
If you're on Alltel and have been waiting for the HTC PPC6800, it's available now. According to the comments on the Engadget post, it comes with Windows Mobile 5, but they should be offering a free upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 for download within a month. No official word, though, on the OS upgrade. How many of you 6700 users have been waiting for the 6800? What's the biggest draw for you?
