The HTC Blizzard: A PocketPC candybar style phone

I just saw this on engadget with a link to PhoneMag. It looks promising. I just hope this isn't a fake.

A candybar style Phone Edition, i.e. with touch screen and stylus? Interesting. Wonder what flavor of OS would be used. The Smartphone OS isn't really designed to use a touch screen. Not even sure you could. The Phone Edition is occasionally bashed for still having things you have to get the stylus out for, or at least touch the screen. That would likely be annoying on a candybar form factor.

It's running Pocket PC Phone Edition. Not sure what version, I would hope it's WM5, but you never know these days.
