Two ends of spectrum from HTC
BARCELONA, SPAIN--At the Mobile World Congress, HTC unveiled two new products catering to two very different market segments--the P3470 and Advantage (X7510).
The P3470 is a 2.5G PDA-phone with a compact form factor. It runs on a 200MHz TI processor, has 128MB of RAM and comes with a 2-megapixel camera. These specifications are very similar to the HTC Touch, the key difference being that the P3470 has GPS navigation but not Wi-Fi and TouchFLO. With a raised bezel around the LCD, it is not suited for use with the TouchFLO interface, though it does have the modified Home screen. This makes it more convenient to get to commonly used items without having to remove the stylus.
The new HTC Advantage.
What's particularly interesting is that HTC lists the OS of the Advantage as a "future version of Windows Mobile". The current version of Windows Mobile is 6 and we expect that when launched in March, this handheld will come with version 6.1.
We have yet to receive launch dates and prices for Asia Pacific. In Europe, the P3470 will be available in late February and the Advantage in March.
Read on for more information on the new handhelds.
