Carrier Devices To Introduce Two New Pocket PC Phones In Australia
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 12:30 PM
I got word today that Carrier Devices is officially going to sell two new Pocket PC Phones in Australia -- not only the HTC Blue Angel (aka XDA III/MDA III) that we've been talking about all along, but the new tiny (iPAQ 19xx-sized) HTC phone I mentioned last week. Confusingly, they're naming the units the PDA2k and the JAM, respectively (my main gripe about the amazing HTC hardware that's been produced over the years is the inconsistent naming by all the retail/channel vendors). You can click on each image for a large version.
What makes this doubly cool is that I know the Carrier Devices units sell well globally -- many people make them available for exporting, as people here have gotten their previous i-Mate product. Add the fact that they're both quadband, and perhaps even GSM carriers in North America will adopt them. I can't wait. :D
(Incidentally, they also announced two Smartphones today, which you can read about over on our sister site, Smartphone Thoughts.)
