Windows Phone Thoughts: mobilePASSION: "First Impressions of the HTC Universal"

"This unique and very exciting form factor is a real attention grabber to anyone that sees it being demonstrated. I had the opportunity to play with a pre-production version of the HTC Universal that was in the booth at Microsoft's Mobile Embedded Developers Conference and at the Gartner Symposium ITxpo. People would stop immediately after their eye caught the 180 degree swiveling VGA screen in action revealing a QWERTY thumb keyboard. The hinge design allows the screen to be protected by folding flat over the keyboard."



Dale, who many of you may know from mobilePASSION (or previously known as Pocket PC Passion), has come out of posting darkness to give us his first impressions of the exciting HTC Universal. In case you've missed all the hype, this device is packed with an Intel XScale 520MHz processor, 128MB RAM, 96MB ROM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IR, an SD/MMC slot, WCDMA/GPRS/GSM - Tri-Band, a 65K VGA screen, and Windows Mobile 5.0. Overall, Dale's article is well worth a read and there are a number of pictures to look at as well. Enjoy!
