Ahh the summer rumor roll is slowly beginning to unfurl. Next up on the red carpet? A few new sidekicks from the once dominate Motorola, and T-Mobile.
Word is they have code names, and they're as dumb as every other code name. “SK Gekko” and the “Sidekick Aspen” . Told you.
Looks like (if the rumors hold up) we will be seeing some new phones somewhere around the end of July.
This will come as par for the course for all HTC lovers. That new shiny HTC Diamond you drooled over is coming to a retailer soon, everywhere else but America. Okay, so I'm exaggerating a bit, but come May 6th, it looks like those Londoners are going to get themselves a new Diamond if we're to believe the words of HTC's financial executive Cheng Hui-ming. Cheng calls the Touch device "The most important" HTC ever!
Nokia 6600 fold, Nokia 6600 slide and the Nokia 3600 slide are Nokia's newest entry into the phone game. Is it me or do the 6600 Slide and 3600 Slide look an awful lot like HTC's?
"There is a strong consumer demand for mobile handsets that blend
elegant looks with modern features," said Mikkel Drucker, Director, Connect
Devices. "Each of the three devices introduced today offers a slightly
different take on a core design language. We believe they are both
beautiful to use and beautiful to behold - and offer a range of choice."
High gloss and jet setting are the look of these models. They seem to want to produce that wealthy lying by the pool chatting experience. The two slides sport a 3.2 megapixel camera while the 3600 offers a 2 LED flash and auto focus. The basic standard fanfare applies, bluetooth, mp3 and the like. Europeans will be the first to get their hands on and smudge them all up.
But while you wait for yours, head over, take a closer look, and marvel at the "Garage Band" work someone spent a whole five minutes putting together.
The blurry, fuzzy bit of HTC goodness is most likely the new kid on the Sprint block. It looks like Sprint HTC fans will be getting their hands on the HTC Diamond some where around the end of summer. Let's hope it looks a little better than this.
But the real question is, What will it be running? Android maybe? Come on, I know you were thinking it.
Wouldn't that be nice huh!
Yes I know, I'm a little late on this one, but I've been busy so give me break. For those of you finding it hard to sleep because you want more info on that new HP iPaq, well more news should be coming shortly.
But until then you'll just have to settle with knowing that the FCC has approved the device for grubby American paws.
What's all this now? A garage sale of previously unreleased HTC phones or new product in waiting. Well actually some of these are already in production, but there are a few (check the bottom row) that have never been seen before. Whoever took the photo was most definitely in the right place with plenty of time.
Now the question is: How long before we get a real explanation?

Let's see...... The Blackberry 9000, the 2nd coming of the iPhone, the Samsung Instinct and this. The Shadow II from T-Mobile.
Does it have a slide out keyboard? Or will it have a slide out QWERTY pad?
Talk amongst yourselves.
You may remember, on September 27, 2007, I talked about the new landline Vtech that Palm had every right to sue over. Of course that's just my opinion.
But the Vtech IS6110 has made it's way into the news due to an addition to it's call-waiting features.
The $99.95 Vtech IS6110 now boast of being the only landline to deliver and receive text messaging. All one need do is plug the base station into a PC and you're off.
No word on how the telephone companies are going to deal with this, but I am sure that Vonage will find a way to capitalize on it.
And now that the Vtech delivers cellular feature functions, I'm even more convinced Palm would have a really good case. It's not at all hard to mistake this for a Treo 755p at first quick glance.
Hey Palm! If you sue and win, I want my cut!
By all accounts, what we have here is an actual honest to goodness crystal clear image of the Nokia iPhone Tube.
Hard Buttons?
Forward Facing Camera?
16:9?
No new info, but I suspect you can expect that soon. Just be happy that there is a non fuzzy picture of the thing.
Verizon is better late then never on this one. Their version of the HTC Touch is finally coming to network via the North Pole, with a really long name in tow.
The XV6900 will hit the virtual shelves on April 16th and stores shelves on the 30th if the rumors hold up.
It will bite into your savings account with a $349 price tag and you can expect to spent a lot of time cleaning this thing off.
