The HTC Herald is, more or less, HTC's 2.5G follower of the HTC Wizard, since both devices supports 2.5G only but not 3G and both features a slide-out keyboard - while the Herald features a semi-automatic sliding mechanism now. Other features and improvements are that the Herald is just 17 mm thick, hosts a large internal memory of 128 MB ROM and 64 MB RAM and the Herald is a true international roamer since it supports quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE as well as it supports Bluetooth and WiFi b/g - for sure."</i><br /><br />Arne over at the::unwired brings news of the release by Vodafone of the HTC Herald as the VPA compact IV (Just once I'd like to see a manufacturer use the same codename HTC used during development - come on, names like "Wizard", "Universal", and "Apache" would be cool names for a phone!). For only 279,00 Euro (Subsidized) this little beauty can be yours.
