The HTC Apache Revealed
phoneArena has the latest information on the HTC Apache - a CDMA version of the HTC Wizard which we revealed earlier in the week. According to the site, it will feature an Intel Bulverde 416MHz (or possibly, 520MHz) processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, JVM support, CDMA/EV-DO support, a 1.3MP camera with flash, 802.11b Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 1.2, IR, a miniSD card slot, a 240x320 screen, a 1300mAh Li-Ion battery, and of course, Windows Mobile 5.0. phoneArena claims that the source of the information on this 4.5" x 2.5" x 1" device is reliable, though I guess we'll have to wait before we tag these specifications as fact or fiction.

THe TI chips were used because they played nice (supposedly) with the GSM phone chipsets. However, standard Intel processors worked fine in devices like the PDA2K, so it's a bogus argument. CDMA phones didn't seem to have this problem with standard Intel processors. Go figure

Does this really make sense? Previous HTC models have had the same specs between GSM and CDMA, like processor, memory, etc, right? Or am I just fooling myself? If the CDMA version has atleast 416Mhz, then why wouldn't the GSM version? Now I'm beginning to suspect the rumors of the 200Mhz TI processor for the Wizard...

We need to form an anti-antenna union.
Antennas suck, big time! :evil:

Well the i730 has all of this - you just can't take calls while using WiFi. A not-too-small issue in my opinion. 8O

I don't really have a clue about this, but I tend to think the rumors about the GSM model are accurate. However, I do know that CDMA takes quite a bit more power than GSM - maybe they need the faster processor - or the OMAP processor isn't compatible with the CDMA radio. Of course if that's true why go with the 416 Mhz version, not one clocked down to 300 or whatever.....
Seems to me we won't really know for sure until the devices are actually announced with complete specs.

I saw a photo of one of these with the label "HTC Apache" at a user group meeting recently - it was on a slide of "Things We're Not Allowed To Talk About Yet".
