    [duplicate post]

    Just went there and spec'ed the 680.
    Thought you might be interested in hearing about a couple differences the CTO has from the business solutions' offering:

    The unit's base is silver. Into that, you have the option of dropping either a silver ($20 extra) or black keyboard.
    The ONLY WWAN available for it is not Sprint's EVDO Rev. A service, but rather ATT's pokey Edge offering. What's that about?! :confused2:

    Great selection of hard drives: including a 200 Gb unit running at 7200 rpm
    Shipping time: 1 week.

    Annoyingly, the business solutions 680 is still a no show! :mad:

    Why oh why must this cutting-edge series use EDGE, older generation tech?! For instance, the TZ features EVDO exclusively. Hopefully SZ models 660, 670 and 691 will be released with EVDO as they are on b2b.sony.com. Echoing the above post, even the business solutions 680 is configurable with EVDO.
