HTC Announces the P4350
"HTC, the world's leading provider of Windows Mobile� devices, today launched the HTC P4350, which will be released throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in early December. Complementing existing HTC devices, the HTC P4350 is just 17mm thick and features a semi-automatic sliding full QWERTY keypad. The slim and compact form factor hosts a large internal memory - 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM, ensuring the handset delivers a full "office in your pocket" experience for business users on the go."
Those of you after a slim QWERTY device without all the bang of the HTC Hermes now have a new option. HTC's P4350 (Herald) features a TI OMAP 200MHz processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, a 2.0-megapixel camera, a microSD slot, a 2.8" QVGA TFT-LCD, and Windows Mobile 5.0. Its retail price is US$735 and it will be made available starting early December. HTC Wizard users can probably skip this. If you're not one of them, does this interest you?

Nice... pricey... but nice! I'm sorry to see SD slots being phased out by microSD, though. For me, that would be a lot of cash spent in SD cards down the drain.

It's a Hermes with a slightly different button layout and a few specs left out. The OMAP is old....very old...they probably got it for free.

I really like all the improvements they've made.. Plus it is much thinner.. But i don't think it is enough of an upgrade over my 8125. Looks very nice though.

HTC P4350
I am especially interested in new, powerful PocketPCs that *don't* have cameras - such an annoyance now, with all the Anti-Terrorist Security measures in many places. I'd rather not have to check my PocketPC at the door....
So when will the HTC P4350 be available in the U.S.?

Yeah, I really miss those PC cards. I wish they hadn't made SD cards. I had so much money rapped up in PC cards.
It's the life of technology. If they didn't develop smaller components we would all be carrying around PPCs the size of the Dell X5 and are phones would be bag phones......what about TVs? Maybe they shouldn't let them evolve either. Heck, those old 12" black and white models would look great today with HD transmissions.
What's 50 bucks on a new card when you spend hundreds on a new device, and think nothing of paying 50 bucks for overnight shipping so you can have it the next day.

Definitely step back from TYTN! OMAP 200mhz? No 3G? And HTC claims it is made for business people?! If you consider 16 yo girl who likes fancy toys a business person, than YES! :twisted:

Gosh, MicroSD? It's HTC who push the miniSD so far, not they change to MicroSD? For what? Smaller or lower power consuming? I didn't get it. Any micro to Mini SD adapter?

Yes, plenty of said adapters exist on eBay. Some online electronics stores are also starting to sell them. As for all the microSD hate, it was valid a year ago, but not so much now. A 1GB card is cheap enough to purchase.
