Boy Genius Report's Pictures of the HTC P4350/Herald
"Continuing in the recent string of Pocket PC's here at BGR, I present the P4350. Due to be released later this month, the P4350 is a smaller version of the popular HTC TyTn. The only feature this mainstream device lacks is 3G (UMTS, HSDPA) which is a fair tradeoff for some people as its now only 17mm thin. It has a QWERTY keyboard, EDGE, Quad-Band GSM, Windows Pocket PC, 2.0 mega-pixel camera, A2DP, WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.0. Don't expect this stateside on a carrier anytime soon. Click on for the rest of the shots!"
The Boy Genius (yes, that is his handle) has some more pictures of the HTC P4350/Herald. We've posted on the unit before; I think it could do very well if it's priced aggressively, but as he reports, I don't see this coming to North America anytime soon.

So I guess the question is whether "thinness" is worth the trade-off for connectivity. I just got the Cingular 8525 (Hermes 100) and wouldn't trade away any of it's features for a smaller unit (the screen is almost too small as it is).
What do you say fellow Americans, does size matter (over function)?

This is everything i wish my 8125 could be.. but that being said... i don't think it is enough to justify an "upgrade". This seems to be just a fix or refresh of the wizard. Which is great if you don't already own a wizard.. 
I do really like this device though.. It is just too similar to my 8125 in specs thought to justify buying one.

The only problem with this device is that it's using that OCRAP processor in it.
So the bottom line is, it's like a TyTn, minus the nice processor and 3G in exchange for a few millimeters shaved off the thickness.
I'll pass.
