More shots of the HTC Elf

Again, we really can't stress enough how appropriate the name "Elf" is here. HTC's latest QWERTY-less Windows Mobile 6 Professional device seems as though it could've dropped right off a spaceship, looking distinctly un-HTC -- and that could be a good or a bad thing, depending on who you ask. Click on for views from every conceivable angle, including some alongside the Artemis, one of our favorite HTC devices of recent memory.

Wow... Pretty slick; I like it!

It kinda reminds me of the Rio Carbon. I'd actually like it if HTC started to design their smartphones like this, rather than the bland gray bricks they usually pump out...

... okay, bland in my opinion. I know that a lot of people love them, so maybe I'm the only one that thinks HTC smartphones look like handheld cinder blocks. :-P

Yeah, there's really nothing HTC about this, especially considering there's no keyboard (unless I'm missing something). Having to type on a touchscreen would be a deal breaker for this guy.

I think this is the best looking phone HTC has created so far. It's almost a throwback to the HTC magician from 2 years ago. Plain and simple and breaking the mold of what a pocket pc should look like.
