It doesn't include anything groundbreaking in terms of cellular support (and heck, on a completely unrelated note, no dedicated soft key-mapped hardware buttons either), so those of you hoping for some sort of EDGE or 3G E-TEN device will simply have to wait.<br /><br />The Reloaded features a Samsung S3C2440 400MHz processor, 64MB RAM, 256MB ROM, quad-band GSM/GPRS support, Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11b Wi-Fi, a 2.0-megapixel camera with flash and 4x digital zoom, and Windows Mobile 5.0.

Definitely a nice device but they do seem a little daft over there at Eten. No Edge? It costs more than the HTC Wizard does (though about the same as when it was first released), has no keyboard, does not support Edge, has no soft-key hardware keys, and no 802.11g. I don't think that the extra ROM and newer bluetooth really make up for that. It is something to consider if you don't need a keyboard but there are definitely better options out there.
