HTC Athena gets previewed and fondled
We'll admit, we're a bit envious of this one, as it seems one lucky soul has got his / her palms around an HTC Athena, and thankfully, hasn't kept it all bottled up. In a rather nice preview of the unit, we find an (expected) 624MHz Intel PXA270 processor, 128MB of RAM, 256MB of Flash ROM, 8GB hard drive, TV-out, five-inch 640 x 480 resolution backlit screen, three-megapixel camera, VGA mode for video telephony, rechargeable Li-ion battery, built-in microphone, GPS receiver, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, USB, and of course, a bevy of communication options including GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, and HSDPA. Yeah, we know you're burning through this text just to find out about the photos, so if you've hung in there this far, be sure to click on through for a few more shots, and hit the read link for even more pictorial delight.[Thanks, KC]

Here is a thread with all the pictures you could want, http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showthread.php?t=58668
Now will someone throw down an importer or ebay store I can buy it from already? I want to pair this with a jawbone bluetooth headset and piss off my friends waiting for the iPhone.
Not going to lie though, I was considering selling my 100GB Archos AV500 and instead getting an OQO 02 and buying a w900i rather than this + a dedicated PMP. Any suggestions?

Woah, that thing is massive. That's like.. HUGE. You would have to have a freaking briefcase for the thing.

Yep, absolutely humungous!
I'll probably wait for the Omni. Don't really fancy destroying my suits by lugging that around...
