HTC Warhawk and Fortress Headed to AT&T
Posted by Jon Westfall in "Pocket PC Hardware" @ 02:30 PM
"We know that Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile are all getting versions of the Touch Pro2, but what about little ol' AT&T? Turns out that device is codenamed "Fortress," and it'll accompany a Touch Diamond2 version known as "Warhawk" to market this summer. The Fortress is actually listed as targeted for May 25, which seems a bit unrealistic -- but we think the document we're looking at is a little stale, so we're sure the inevitable delay has crept into the schedule by now. It's expected to launch with WinMo 6.1 AKU6 (presumably upgradeable to 6.5 down the road) with full HSPA on three bands, AGPS, a 3.2 megapixel AF cam, 3.6-inch WVGA display, and Video Share support."
Some bold colors here in the releases set for soon (the Touch Pro 2) and later in the year (the Touch Diamond 2). It's nice that we have at least 1 carrier in the US that has a strong line of HTC devices, rather than the hit-and-miss (or hit-and-long-delay) other carriers bring.
