DreamPages is reporting that Sprint is clarifing a statement that they made to him saying that the Treo 600 had been delayed to as far as early December. Sprint now says that it will launch in early October as planned, but only direct from Sprint. Other retailers will get it in mid-November.

With about 10 minutes left in the 24 hour period known as T608 Awarness Day, I think I can declare it a total success. Thanks to your persistance, SonyEricsson is now listing the T608 as a released phone (giving the official confirmation that we were asking for).

Today the Nokia 3588i has officially gone on sale at sprintpcs.com.

Reports are rampant that Sprint will not only carry the Sanyo 5400 PTT flip-phone, but a camera-enabled variant. It looks like the phone is the A1303SA, but it may not be. The phone features Video Camera, Video Mail, and Video Caller ID functionality.
Too soon to tell when this phone will be released. [...]

Added Hitachi G1000 PC Modem instructions.

The ThunderHawk Pocket PC browser has been updated to support Pocket PC 2003 devices.
