After a fairly productive 3GSM last week showing off new Windows Mobile 6 wares in the form of the
Vox and the
Advantage, everyone's favorite Taiwanese Windows Mobile ODM has graced us with this here "Gene" (or at least we think that's what it's called, based on its model number, GENE100) via our usual Tipster Extraordinare, the FCC. The specs aren't really enough to knock our socks off -- data tops out with quadband EDGE, the cam is a simple 2 megapixel unit, plus the usual Bluetooth 2.0, 128MB of ROM, 64MB of RAM, and QVGA display atop a 201MHz TI OMAP850 -- but at this point, we're still happy to get whatever new
Professional hardware we can get.

Let me guess, Tmobile USA will grab this to replace the MDA, and hopes and dreams of a Tytn with Tmo branding are melted away.

Too much "frame" around the LCD for my tastes. Plus it almost looks to have a "pill" shape (oblong). Maybe that's just the photo.
Now the real question: What Cybershot/Elph model took this picture?

This thing is on sale from Dopod for quite a while (http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3601) and it lately even appeared on HTC's European site. However, as HTC confirmed on the 3GSM last week, it's not going to be released in - at least - Europe at all but it's more a device for emerging markets like South Asia.
