HTC's Iolite poses for new picture and gets specced
Nice to see the Iolite getting a little more play, and thanks to jouwmobiel.nl, a little more real. The specs we've heard apparently have the Iolite packing Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, 512 MB and 288 MB RAM and ROM, UMTS / HSDPA, quad-band GSM / EDGE, GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFi. If you take a peek at the front of the device you'll see a button with a small footprint on one side and a letter A on the other which will most likely hook into its GPS system in some way. We should get a pile more information by the time Mobile World Congress rolls around in mid-February.

you took the words right out of my mouth.

The read link has the same specs that Expansys leaked as reported by Ziegler on 6 January.
Actually, they're missing that the 3G bands are 900/2100 MHz.

This seems a step backwards from my HTC's Touch HD, worse camera, worse specs, more buttons...
Seems just like the old touch cruise with some (bad) make up on; come to think seems a step backwards also compared to HTC's diamond and Pro, the latter of which I had for a couple of weeks and hated for it's small and inadequate touch screen.
Now I've had the touch HD for a couple of months and I can really tell you: HTC has got a real winner here, so what's the point in coming out with this...this?

Ah, but the Touch HD is supposed to be the top-of-the-range model from HTC; the Iolite is specced for those people who have better things to do than sit on the bleeding edge - you know, the people that you yourself have no time for whatsoever.

It looks like the new T-Mobile Shadow in a different casing so they can capitalize on the mass orders of internal components from T-Mob.

Is that TouchFlo 3D on a QVGA device? Methinks the (XDA)developers will be active soon...

Erm... small footprint? It's not spot-on, but it rather resembles the Gnome Desktop logo... (?)

Duh HTC, so hangup is equal to Home. And almost the same as OK/Back. Why do you have 3 keys doing that same deal on the horrible capacitive keypad on the Touch Pro, again?
