Well, sounds to me like a U.S. version of the (so far also) unannounced (but already unveiled) HTC S730 (code-named HTC Wings or HTC Volans). If the AT&amp;T Juno is the U.S. version of the HTC Wings/HTC Volans, it should sport Windows Mobile 6 Standard, featuring a Qualcomm MSM7200 CPU at 400 MHz which supports quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and triband UMTS/HSDPA.&quot;</em><p> <img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/spt/auto/1187917389.usr8.jpg" alt="" /></p><p>Happy days are here again! It has been a while since we have had a really good rumor floating around here in the Windows Mobile Standard world. While I am not jumping for joy over the almost all black rendering of the device in the above image, I must say the thought of carrying a slim candybar style phone again is really intriguing. Add in the extra benefit of having a slide out QWERTY keyboard at your disposal and what you basically have is Smartphone heaven! This is one rumor that I desperately hope becomes a reality</p>

It would be nice to see this picked up by a carrier, but I'm still not that excited about the phone. It just doesn't seemto do it for me.

HSDPA, Large Screen and a 400 Mhz processor......

This is bound to have really bad battery life..........

Sure wish the smart engineering minds would develop a lower power drain 3G chip set.

Looks intriguing, I'd consider it. Getting bored with my Blackjack.

Unless you mean slim as in less wide, the Vox series is anything but slim. The HTC Libra (S720) on Telus is thicker by a hair than the Titan (Mogul) and lacks wifi. I bet the Juno will also be quite thick.

I define slim as anything ≤ 14mm.

This phone will be a welcomed edition to my pockets as the Blackjack is a bit to wide and can be awkward at times. Jerry seems to be happy with his Vox and Jerry is never happy with a phone so I think its a safe bet to grab one! ;):p

wow.

i've been contemplating just buying the vox outright. if this rumor is true, i could save like $300. everyone that's reviewed the vox has had only 1 real negative comment about it, and that's the lack of 3g. if this is real, it could be the perfect little candybar on steroids that i'm looking for. but at&t better not nix the wifi or i'll be ticked.

here's to hoping.

Does the rumor include that this phone has GPS built in? I hope so? Can anyone confirm?

[ARW]

Any clue as to whether or not it will have wi-fi? Still like my Blackjack, but I do miss wi-fi on it.

[Terry Pickett]

I am really looking forward to this phone. I hope it has Wi-Fi.

Once I used mine (VOX) for a while I really liked it. Having that slide out keyboard is really great. Still it's a smaller candy bar phone the rest of the time.
