Oh my oh my, this is one cat that is rather seriously out of the bag.

You remember the HTC event taking place on Monday? Well, it seems my suspicions were correct... one of the 3 devices launching is a new evolution of the HTC Touch, branded the HTC Touch slide!

The device will look very similar to the touch, and feature 3G + HSDPA, a 400MHz Qualcomm processor (that we're all rather used to now), a 2 megapixel camera, microSD expansion and a first-of-a-kind for Windows Mobile Suretype keyboard, a-la-Blackberry Pearl.

'Superior Gadgets News' (which looks like a created-for-this-leak-blogger-account) have scored some awesome photos, which you'll find below.

I think this device is gonna be HUGE! Remember to stay tuned for our coverage of the launch on Monday!

Device(s): TyTn II
It really is strange how elongated this phone looks as its picture stands alone. The shocking truth of it is that it is smaller than my TyTN II. Other than the small screen size (which looks to be in the neighborhood of 2inches) it seems to be a pretty solid device which picks up all the pieces of the original device while fixing the lack of a keyboard that most of us want so desperately. This device will probably land a big target audience as a mid-high range WM device, and can serve the purposes of the casual user and the business man (or woman) alike. I have to say that HTC never ceases to amaze, and this black beauty is no exception.

Tired of waiting for the Tilt, Kaiser, P4550, 8925, Vario III, TyTn II.

Depending on the RAM this might just be what I've been holding out for! How does this keyboard work though?

Beautiful. Still love my original Touch in spite of the speed. Thinking keyboards may be the way to go as well. This fits the bill nicely! biggrin.gif

How does the keyboard work on these devices, is it T9 in style? or standard text entry (multiple presses of the key to get what you want)?

It's predictive like a blackberry, which BTW is probably the only thing I ever liked about the BB's.


--------------------
For phones: T-Mobile G1, HTC TYTN II, T-mobile Dash, I-Mate Jam, Mitac Mio 8390, Motorola A630, Nokia N-gage, Nokia N-gage QD, Motorola C331g.

For the car: Air suspension, ICE, I/H/E setup, more to come later. . .

For guns: ICS M4 CQB Pistol, KJW Sig Sauer P226, maybe a M14 EBR or G36K later. . .

Now only if I could afford modifying my car and my mobile phone addiction. . .ha ha ha. . . uh oh add airsoft to it too. lol

I suspect availability won't be immediate, as it's 'Q4 products' announcement...

I think the screen on the Touch Slide actually looks to be 2.6", just like the rumors have said the latest time. If we say that the Wing's is 2.4" (as big as the Vox's screen), then on the comparison photo between the two of them I'll guess the Slide's is about 2.5"-2.6"?

BTW, looks like this Slide thing is going to be the perfect replacement for my SP5m tongue.gif Me want!!!

Can someone describe how the T9ish does work? If it is predictive then it means that there is a dictionary in use. So for people often writing in different languages they would have to switch the dictionary in settings. Or people who are used to enter specific words which are not in the dictionary.....oh gosh if it is really a dict-based system then it is not very different to the default T9 which I don't like - I like FREEDOM :-)
