Yet Another Look at the HTC Hermes - With Finalized Specs
Posted by Raphael Salgado in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 AM
"After the introductions of the T-mobile MDA / Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard) which became quite popular because of its compact design, full qwerty keyboard, excellent screen and WM5 operating system, on November 2005, a news about the future HTC line surfaced. One of the new models that leaked was the HTC Hermes or QTEK 9600, which despite the limited information available at that time, was a very promising model. Few days ago our friends from All4Smartphone.com had a chance to play with it and take pictures of the final version of the Hermes..."
Who's had enough news of the forthcoming HTC Hermes? Yeah, me neither. ;) So, with more info cropping up about the "successor to the Wizard," we should be looking at an imminent release. It's just a real shame they can't announce a single, firm release date like they do with game consoles (speaking of which, did anyone preorder and from where?) At least this article confirms some finalized specs, such as the 400MHz processor (bless you, HTC!), a 2.0 megapixel rear camera, and an upgraded battery at 1350mAh. However, this line may put some people off: "Earlier speculations about HSDPA support were unfounded and only UMTS is available." Let's just hope it will be upgradable, and for our US readers, Cingular 3G support!
