Aside from the usual navigation keys, the GENE 100 only features a touch screen for input - there is no slide out keyboard or a numeric keypad. It is a small candybar style phone with quad-band GSM/GPRS (possibly EDGE), Bluetooth, 2 megapixel camera and full size SD slot. HTC has produced a number of similar devices, but they have only been offered by European and Asian carriers. It is likely the GENE will not be seen in American stores either."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/2089_175x275.jpg" /><br /><br />The FCC has a great way of letting the cat out of the proverbial bag on devices in the making. :mrgreen: However, since the <a href="http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/fcc_query.php?gc=NM8&pc=GENE">GENE 100</a> (<i>search link from <a href="http://www.phonescoop.com">Phonescoop</a></i>) appears to be similar to other HTC Pocket PC Phone devices for the European and Asian markets, I'm not sure there's much to celebrate at this unveiling. Anyone see a hidden jewel here?
