The 3G PDA phone, which will be manufactured by HTC and marketed by Dopod, will run on Microsoft's Window Mobile OS, and will feature push e-mail and RSS functionalities and a Chinese interface made to CHT's specifications, according to sources at CHT."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20060525-Partnership.jpg" /><br /><br />It's uncertain whether this is a CHT/Dopod-branded, customised HTC Hermes (would you call it high-end?) or a different 3G device altogether. We'll know more starting June 20 when the device is expected to sell for NT$25,000 (~US$781).
