  • O2 slides HTC S730 onto shelves as XDA Atmos

    Filed under: Handsets , HTC , O2 , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA It would seem that HTC's updated Vox, the HTC S730 Wings, has hit O2 sporting that distinctive XDA style. While the shop doesn't get into detail about which version of the HTC Wings this is -- as a refresher, the Wings100 packs 2100 MHz HSDPA while the Wings200 has 850, 1900, and 2100 -- the O2 Atmos' price is right and listed as starting at $free. Availability is set for now, so if you've been waiting for a new bit of QWERTY Windows Mobile hardware, fill your boots, operators are standing by.

  • HTC S730 hits the FCC

    It looks like the US will be getting their own US-spec HTC S730 soon enough. The FCC has dropped the ball on this US-bound handset that they’re internally calling the “WING200.” The FCC internal codename combined with the diagram of the FCC label leads us to believe that this handset is the US-version of the HTC S730 Wing . The only HTC S730 Wing on the market supports European 3G frequencies, so we’re glad to see that the successor to the hybrid keypad/keyboard -toting HTC S710 Vox will be bringing US-friendly 3G (HSDPA on the 850/1900Mhz bands) support to the table. The US-spec HTC S730 Wing will likely have the same spec-sheet as its Euro-counterpart, with the exception of a US-compatible 3G radio. That means Windows Mobile 6.0 is the OS of choice, and the quirky keypad/keyboard that we loved on the HTC Vox will be making its second round in the US. We wish we could clue you in on pricing and availability details, but that will just take some time. HTC S730 Wing, here we come!

  • O2 now with (HTC’s) Wings!

    No, not Paul McCartney’s old band, O2 has got the latest HTC smartphone – the HTC Wings - and it’s out now. The Wings (or HTC S730 to give it it’s product name) is basically an upgrade to the S710 (also on O2). But this doesn’t detract from it being a really attractive device. The Windows Mobile [...]

  • US cut of the HTC S730 makes the FCC's cut

    Filed under: Handsets , HTC , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS If you're looking for a multitalented Windows Mobile 6 Standard handset, the follow-on to the nifty S710 Vox from HTC, the S730 , is a fine device -- it really is. Only one problem, though: in its current iteration, European 3G is the one and only name of the game. That kinda took us by surprise when we first heard it since HTC's announcement of the S730 promised "worldwide 3G." What they didn't make clear is that the promise would be delivered in the form of two separate models. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the "WING200" -- an homage to the S730's "Wings" codename -- bearing support for US HSDPA on the 850 and 1900MHz bands. No mention of the S730 name is made anywhere in the documentation, but the rear end that we see here clearly resembles the S730's hindquarters, so we're pretty well convinced. Only thing left then is for HTC to start selling this thing, eh? Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • HTC S730 gets previewed

    Filed under: Handsets , HTC , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS The Vox and Libra have been largely overlooked in the US market (though Verizon's finally looking into fixing that issue ), which is a crying shame considering the cool side-sliding QWERTY WinMo Standard form factor that remains largely unique to HTC. The S730 succeeds the Vox, adding most notably 3G and a supposedly better keyboard, and Tracy and Matt's Blog have given the bugger a thorough once-over. It seems that the phone is a little fatter than the already-fat Vox, a potential problem for those hoping to discretely pack it in a pants pocket; battery life was a little weak, too, with normal usage resulting in a nearly drained device at the end of the day. On the positive side, though... well, where the heck else are you going to find this form factor running 3G and Windows Mobile 6 Standard?

  • Verizon to pick up HTC Libra as SMT5800 or UTStarcom XV5800; to have 3G

    There isn’t much here that we didn’t already know (other than the 3G bit, more on that later), but we thought you HTC Libra (S720) fans out there on Verizon’s network would appreciate an update on the hybrid keypad/keyboard device’s status with Big Red - especially since it was supposed to have launched in August . Verizon’s been brewing their own special version of the HTC Libra for some time now , and we’ve finally got some high-resolution images of the forthcoming Verizon-branded HTC Libra (the CDMA cousin to the HTC Vox S710). The handset will be branded as the UTStarcom XV5800, although we’ve heard that it might also be called the SMT5800 . We’re looking for the Verizon XV5800 to sport a 400Mhz CPU, Windows Mobile 6.0, and something like 162MB of memory in the Verizon-spec HTC Libra - pretty much the same internals as every other HTC Libra that’s been on-market for several months . But, there’s an added bonus! Word on the street has it that the Verizon XV5800 will be sporting a 3G (EVDO Rev. A, for the uninitiated) radio like the HTC S730 that was recently announced . So, Verizon customers, you’ll have to wait just a bit longer for the HTC Libra to become available. Or, you know, just wait until Verizon opens up their network and then choose whatever handset tickles your fancy. That way you won’t have to wait until the handset is yesterday’s news before you get your hands on one. Click through for another high-res shot of Verizon XV5800.

  • HTC gets official with HTC Touch Dual (Slide), S730, P6500

    Just like we expected , HTC’s press event in London today took the official wraps off their HTC Touch Dual (which we’ve been expecting to have been called HTC Touch Slide ), HTC S730, and HTC P6500. Europeans can revel in the privilege of getting these slick, new smartphones before everyone else (Japan notwithstanding). As you may already know, the HTC Touch Dual (codename: Nike ) takes the HTC Touch platform and spices things up with some 2100Mhz 3G HSDPA love and that trick, vertical-sliding keypad - measuring 107 x 55 x 15.8mm and tipping the scales at 120g. But, early reports of the HTC Touch Dual toting a WiFi radio seem to have been in haste - it seems HTC didn’t see fit to endow their European HTC Nike with the WiFi goodness that the Japanese enjoy so much. Either way, the 400Mhz processor, 2.6 inch touchscreen display, 256MB ROM/128MB RAM, Bluetooth 2.0, and microSD card slot - all powered by Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional - will probably be enough to keep you Europeans happy. Expect the same innovative TouchFLO interface, but, being a European device (for now), the HTC Touch Dual will only be toting a tri-band (900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM radio. We’re looking for Orange to bring the HTC Touch Dual to select European countries at an, as yet, unknown price. The HTC S730 that was rumored to be released “ really soon ” made good on the promise to bring “worldwide” 3G (HSDPA) and WiFi to the 400Mhz, Windows Mobile 6.0 keypad/keyboard hybrid beauty. All you fans of HTC’s hybrid design in the HTC S710/S720 (Vox/Libra) will be happy to know that HTC is bringing the HTC S730 to Europe. We’re glad HTC decided to include the spring-loaded auto-opening slide mechanism in their S730 - it’s those little details that really make a smartphone shine. Finally, the HTC P6500 was announced as an enterprise smartphone with 3.5″ screen, 3 mega pixel camera with auto focus, barcode and fingerprint scanning capabilities...

  • HTC's HSDPA toting S730 QWERTY and P6500 GPS phones get official

    Filed under: Handsets , HTC That was quick. Just a few hours after peeping their S730 in the wild, HTC has upped and made it official. They also pushed out the P6500 enterprise phone to keep it safe and feeling protected. The S730 is just what we heard: 400MHz Qualcomm processor, "worldwide 3G," HSDPA data, WiFi (of course), auto-sliding QWERTY, and Windows Mobile 6 with 256MB of flash memory. The 3G/HSDPA P6500 then, targets vertical sectors including logistics companies, hospitals and the police by combining Windows Mobile 6 Professional with a 3.5-inch screen, 3 megapixel autofocus camera, barcode and fingerprint scanning capabilities, GPS, and 2x SDIO slots for additional memory or accessories. It even boasts a remote-wipe capability to keep all your dirty little conspiracies under wraps where they belong. The S730 hits Europe in October while the P6500 is set to pop in November. Again, no pricing. %Gallery-8015% Read -- S730 Read -- P6500 Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

    Filed under: Handsets , HTC , Windows Mobile If these spy shots of the purported S730 are to be believed, then HTC looks to be drumming up a successor to their S710 Vox . Besides sporting an improved 400MHz Qualcomm processor and 3G radio, we're told that it features a like, totally, "way better keyboard," Bluetooth, and the "excellent build quality" we expect from an HTC device. We can also see a new front-facing camera and WiFi option in that picture above. With any luck, HTC will make it official at one of their rumored announcements coming today and tomorrow.
