HTC Cedar portrait-style WinMo smartphone for CDMA hits FCC

by Darren Murph posted Mar 20th 2009 at 3:30PM

Look out, Palm -- you've got what's apt to be a formidable opponent creeping right up on your next big thing. A frustratingly vague FCC filing has just appeared, which details (if you can even call it that) an elusive new HTC CEDA200 smartphone that's apparently portrait-styled, Windows Mobile-powered and ready to rock on a (gasp!) CDMA network. The filing clearly asks the dear ole FCC to hold photos until July 30th, which lines right up with that Q2 launch date we've heard about for a so-called HTC Cedar (or Willow). Obviously, it's too early to tell just yet if this is that very phone, but either way, you can count on something good from HTC crossing the CDMA airwaves in the not-too-terribly-distant future.

Whoa, hold the phone! Did you say portrait styled. Like a BenQ P50?... Because that's what I've been waiting for seriously. Assuming it's a touch screen that will be awesome because if it's in portrait mode the screen can be larger than the tiny 2.6" that is always on the landscape oriented PPC qwertybars.
