That sure sounds like the PPC-6700, but it doesn't have "star" in the
name.

Sometimes it is called the "HTC Apache", or the "Audiovox 6700".

Then again, maybe they have something brand-spanking new in the
pipeline already - but seeing as the 6700 hasn't really been full on
"launched" yet, the odds are that he showed you the 6700 (or maybe the
older 6601 which also has a slide out keyboard).

Those are the only two Sprint phones with a slide-out right now.

Maybe they are bringing over the Samsung SCH-i830 which also has a
slide.

The only "star" phone I know of is the Audiovox UTStarcom which is just
a flip-phone without keyboard.

Next time you pass the store, see if you can grab the model number. If
they have something new under wraps, it would be cool to know what it
is.

Well, actually...it does...Audiovox is now UTStarcom:
