The first device from HTC to ship with a 2.8" screen, it was extremely well received and set a precedent for future devices. It's close relative, the HTC Wizard (i-mate KJAM, T-Mobile MDA Vario, O2 XDA Mini S) was also popular, as the first HTC device with a QWERTY keyboard, and arguably the first device to really make the most of the landscape support built into the Windows Mobile OS. A while has passed now since the Wizard hit the streets (over a year), and HTC has now released the HTC Herald, to be sold under their consumer brand as the P4350. Now, the waters have been muddied a little by the release of the HTC Hermes, particularly the fact that it has been released by T-Mobile as the MDA Vario II. You could argue that the Hermes is in fact the successor to the Wizard, offering a very similar form factor and a hugely improved specification... and you'd probably be right. So is there room for the Herald? What is it exactly?"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20061216-htcp4350.gif" /><br /><br />Paul at MoDaCo has put together a <a href="http://www.modaco.com/Paul-Reviews-The-HTC-P4350-t250337.html">review</a> of the recently-released <a href="http://www.europe.htc.com/products/htcp4350.html">HTC P4350 (Herald)</a>, which incidentally has a new Apple-esque, minimalist box design. If the HTC TyTN (Hermes) is a bit too pricey or has too much bang (features-wise) for your needs, then the P4350 may be a perfect fit. Head over to MoDaCo to see what Paul has to say.
