The HSDPA 7.2Mbps handset with GPS and WiFi takes the original candybar Pearl's wildly successful format and applies a hearty dose of Windows Mobile Standard -- not a concept that's going to appeal to everyone, but for the S740 shoppers of the world, a totally viable alternative. So we know Vodafone has a keen eye on releasing this; anyone else?"</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/zt/auto/1223057245.usr8.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is nice to see that the HP Silver is still alive and kicking. Unfortunately there is no word on when, if ever, we will see this device on the western side of the pond. Also for those paying attention, yes that is a HTC Faraday running Windows Mobile 6.1 on the left of the HP Silver. It is nice to see the HTC Faraday still getting a little bit of love after all these years.</p>

I still use the Cingular 2125 verion of the HTC faraday quite regularly (recently bought a new battery for it even). Anyone know where I can find a Windows 6.1 ROM for the Faraday?
