In case you missed PocketPCThoughts!
Pocket PC Italia has just revealed a bit of information on the HTC Wizard. Although it is subject to change, here's the buzz: Windows Mobile 5.0, GSM/GPRS (with EDGE) - Quad-Band 850/900/1800/1900MHz, a Texas Instruments OMAP 850 processor (interesting choice?), 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, a 2.8" QVGA display, Bluetooth, 802.11b Wi-Fi (rejecting earlier reports of this device having 802.11g), IR, a 2.1MP integrated camera with Flash LED, dual speakers, a QWERTY keyboard, mini-USB, and a miniSD slot. Here's a Google translation if you need it.
Yeah, it looks kinda fake, and I personally think it looks so IPAQ, but I don't care as long as it is an HTC device...
What do you guys think about it in case it's in fact true?
Yeah, it looks a bit fake, but the concept with the landscape keyboard is cool! I always miss my Keyboard while surfing in landscape mode. Landscape Keyboards have the advantage of leaving more space for the keys. I'd like to see it in this way.
But i've read of two devices: Wizard (without keyboard) and Galaxy (with keyboard).
no 3g or video conference though :/
nice that it have a blizt but it's bound to be a stealer of minuts
Nice specs, BUT:
-Mini-SD? What? Why? This doesn't make any sense. Why not SDIO?
- TI OMAP 850? That thing runs on 200 MHz. So then we have a device with integrated Wifi, but no way Skype can run on 200 MHz.
Seems HTC made a little error in the specs, hope they correct this and turn out a killer device.
BTW: of course no 3G, or the Universal would be in trouble in terms of sales. If this Wizard/Galaxy had 3G as well, what would there be for the Universal to compete on? Bigger, more expensive, but with the same specs and a less MP camera?
faster cpu and sdio and more ram and bigger screen
this device was ment to be a replacement for magic to limit the stuff to make it small
and it's not like other phone companies ever narrowed their range so they only had one 3g device
there are other things to change between devices then the network they are using like the specs you dont care for....
Are you guys sure there's no 3G? Note the camera lens upfront the device.. Only 3G phones have that..
the specs say EDGE
which is pretty much 2.5G
have yet to see any phones supporting both EDGE and 3g
and if it did i guess they would state it as specs
its looks ok, but it better have a fast processor, and a sdio slot? else it may be useless to me.
I found this one as the htc wizard :
The rumor that broke about this last week wasn’t particularly reliable, so we exercised an unusual amount of restraint (for us at least, since we are total gossip hounds) and didn’t publish anything, but a pic and some plausible details have surfaced on Howard Forums about the HTC Wizard. This one is supposed to be HTC’s new smallish Pocket PC Phone that’s about the same size as the HTC Magician/i-mate JAM/XDA II mini and have quad-band GSM, EDGE, 802.11g, Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel digital camera, and a QVGA quality, 320 x 240 pixel LCD screen. Will supposedly be out in Q3 of this year, possibly OEM’d by HP.

Check out Nokia 6630 and 6680 They are 3G as well as EDGE supported....
It looks yucky....I'm not gonna be swayed from my Universal!!!!
Besides the Nokia E90, which is too bulky and awkward for me or the N95 that is just too toy-like, is there anything else out there that does all of this at once and without peripherals? I have the P3300 now, the only thing it is really lacking for me is 3g....
Thanks!
Athena....
and the (hopefully) upcoming Omni
Kayser have everything

I like Android (and I'm using XMP), I hope there a more bigger (3.7-4.3) screen.
But her 2GB RAM and LTE in HK are really attractive, than blackberry 10 support Android apps.:silly:
But it has only a 3.1" SQUARE screen, than Blackberry cannot flashing ROM.:crying:
I hope there will be a international version (successor?) of Photon Q:
APQ8064/APQ8064T/MSM8974/Atom Z2580
4.3" 1280x720 ColorBoost SuperIPS+ (or any TFT/NON AMOLED)
Dual-channel 2GB LPDDR3 RAM, 16GB ROM or more
3300mAh user-replaceable battery
LTE 1800 for Australia & 2100 for France (cuz Moto has left Hong Kong)
Other specs same with Photon Q
Android and a QWERTY keyboard make the Photon Q a no brainer decision.
If I was FORCED to give up the QWERTY, it would only be for the Galaxy3.
Looking for a cheap ($200 ish) large screen phone for TMobile USA
5.5" screen or larger and supports TMobile's 1900mhz HSPA + 21Mbps
I googled around and BLU D610a seems to be the only option i come across.
Anyone know any other phones?
