Canadians get HTC Vox before US

by Brian White posted Mar 29th 2007 at 11:59AM

Our Canadian friends who are fortunate enough to subscribe to Telus Mobility will become the first North Americans to get their paws on the new HTC Vox handset. The CDMA Vox (GSM version announced a few moons back at the 2007 3GSM World Congress) will feature Windows Mobile 6, WiFi and Bluetooth, microSD, 2 megapixel cam and a 2.4 inch color display, though the real draw here is the dual keypad design. At first glance, the Vox looks like a standard Windows Mobile Smartphone candybar, but lurking underneath is a full QWERTY keyboard (which we hear is just how Canadians like it).

This press release announces the release of the S720, not the Vox. The Vox (S710) isn't mentioned once.

Amir is right... though the the VOX looks a bit cooler, this release is referencing the superior model S720.

The good news: it is EV-DO Rev. A compatible and will be packing WM6!
I'm in.

Bretinsocla, not sure why you would consider the 720 superior to the 720? Do explain please, thanks.

I just had a "hands-on" with the lovely vox, what Telus has dubbed the S720. As always HTC has produced a finely crafted piece of hardware and there is no doubt that I would jump on this, except for two reasons. The first,�well the prospect of a three year Telus contract simply gives me the willies. Much better to purchase the vox outright and then "pay as you go" you say?. Problem is that the vox on Telus has also had the wireless disabled, why oh why did Telus do that???

If you like the vox, get down to a Telus store and and feel it for yourself. Then buy the GSM version (Wi-Fi enabled) on eXpansys and grab a card from your fave provider.

Sorry, that was supposed to be "why do you consider the 720 superior to the 710".
