Just when Motorola delivers a break through product, up pops HTC rearing their not so ugly head. Set to launch on the same day as the DROID is the ‘DROID’ Eris, which is essentially a rebranded Hero handset. The ‘DROID’ Eris name possibly has something to do with some sort of weird Verizon branding, but if I were Motorola I’d be up in arms.
Specs for the handset include a 3.2-inch touchscreen, WiFi, virtual QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel camera, 3.5mm headphone jack and all that HTC jazz we’ve come to expect.
The ‘DROID’ Eris will set you back $199 after a $100 mail-in-rebate and 2-year contract signing.
Monday still got you down? Don’t worry, here to save the day is the HTC Hero! You can score it now for $179.99 after a 2-year contract signing and $100 mail-in-rebate. Built upon the Android platform you can most certainly expect this device to be very popular this holiday season. The big spec take aways are as follows:
By now you’ve heard of the HTC Imagio. Here’s a quick hands on with the device running Windows Mobile 6.5. I’m pretty impressed with the updated OS and although I’d never give up my iPhone, for any of you locked into the WM platform I can honestly promote this iteration. Oh, and the Imagio is pretty slick as it bears and iPhone like form factor.
AT&T officially announced the availability of the HTC Tilt 2 and Pure. We’ve already seen the Tilt 2 with official AT&T branding and it looks like they’ll be charging a pretty hefty sum much like the other carriers out there. The PURE on the other hand, will be a bit cheaper but still cost a pretty penny. On a more positive note, both of these phones will be the first to sport Windows Mobile 6.5 on the AT&T network.
Feature wise the Tilt 2 has a 3.6-inch touchscreen and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. They’ve also stuffed in dual speakers and dual microphones for some much needed…
It was just a few days ago that we got word of Verizon’s Imagio handset, and now today the wireless company has made it official. As previously mentioned this will be one of the first handsets to sport the long awaited Windows Mobile 6.5. Unlike many of HTC’s phones, the Imagio lacks a slide out…

Word on the street is that Sprint has come to their senses and will slash the price of the HTC Touch Pro2 from $349.99 to $199.99 after contract signing and mail-in-rebate on October 1st. This move only seemed inevitable since Verizon already sells the exact same handset for the purported new lower price and with the iPhone and many other smartphones…

It looks like Verizon is set to launch yet another HTC phone, yet this one, the HTC XV6975 Imagio, lacks a physical QWERTY keyboard. While price and actual launch date are still unknown, specs wise were looking at a 3.6-inch touchscreen, Windows Mobile 6.5, microSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, 528mhz processor of some sort, 5mp autofocus camera, WiFi…

Right now Verizon must be happier than a pig in poo. Why? They just launched HTC’s Touch Pro2, and despite being one of the last carriers to the gate with this smartphone, they’ve managed to undercut the competition by $150. That’s right, you can grab the HTC Touch Pro2 (this Friday) for $200 after 2-year contract signing and $100 mail-in-rebate. Meanwhile T-Mobile and Sprint are selling the same handset for $350.

HTC kicked out a new phone today called the Tattoo, an Android based handset. It draws its name from the ability for users to completely customize the handset in all facets, which might even included the back cover of the device. Features include a 3.2 megapixel camera, 2.8-inch touchscreen…
Sprint is set to launch the HTC Touch Pro2 on September 8th for a wallet damaging price of $350, the same price at T-Mobile. Worst of all that’s after the $100 mail-in-rebate and 2-year contract signing. It looks like HTC is charging carriers an arm and a leg for this device since similar smartphones generally cost about $150 less.
