Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 There's now a second device in existence now featuring the full HTC Pocket PC 'Touch' experience, and it looks like a bit special... take a look at the HTC HT1100 on DoCoMo, codenamed the HTC Nike, courtesy of AkihabaraNews! Pictured below, the device features 3G + HSDPA, a 2.5" screen (shrunk from 2.8" on the Touch), full TouchFlo (of course), a 2 MegaPixel Camera supplemented by a 1 MegaPixel forward facing camera (for video calling) and a FM Radio. We understand that the Nike shares a lot of it's internals with the HTC Kaiser (!), featuring the same Qualcomm 7200 chipset and integrated GPS. What is particularly unique of course in the Pocket PC space is the traditional phone keypad, which we hope is accompanied by a slick T9 implementation to finally cement the touch as the ultimate Pocket PC one-handed user experience. There's no word as yet on release anywhere other than DoCoMo Japan, but we'd venture it's only a matter of time... ;) Let me put a question to you too... is this what the first Touch device should have been?

Guest ombre33 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Where's those 'HTC don't innovate' doubtors now? :wub: Thought: No buttons for the softkeys? ;) P oooh, i like. i'd say that the two longish things left and right of the d-pad are the softkeys.

Guest namiran Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 is 2.5" screen really enough for a ppc? i remember people complaining about 2.4" screens some units use. Paul, is this really what the first touch should have been? I do understand that with the touchflo you dont need to use a pen or your nails, you can just "flo". but what about 3'rd part applications? Other than that it looks like a great addition to the already superb htc units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ombre33 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 They're green / red keys... P yeah, on second thought that kinda makes more sense.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pigo Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Looks great but wonder what the nummeric keypad did for the thickness of the phone. would be very surprised if it's the same as the HTC touch Pigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fergus74 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Thought: No buttons for the softkeys? ;) P If it's a Touch type phone, does it need soft keys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jakob Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Yawn.. Yet another product far-far away from what people actually want - a candybar, pocketable PHONE.. /J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 No, it just makes one handed use easier. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nuttyphilt Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I wonder if it really has inbuilt GPS - no mention of it in the press release. Here's hoping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nickcornaglia Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Internally....what the Touch should have been. Externally....the keypad is nice if it's not too thick. I don't miss soft keys anymore....but I do miss the OK button. I wouldnt mind the addition of that button on the external body...even on the side. As far as small screen, like other things in life...some like them bigger...I like them smaller! (EDIT: You can take that joke a couple of different ways...read it heterosexually!) ;) My dream wish for phones...let me talk from the back of the phone so I dont get face stuff all over the front!

Guest Kchrpm Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I want a T9 *and* a QWERTY *and* a tilting screen! And WVGA! And 262k colors! And an ice cream maker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Mmmm, ice cream ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sxywill2005 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) I think the HTC Nike shown above is a pre-production handset as it looks rather unfinished. HTC have a habit of refining their designs at the last minute. MSMobiles have reported another HTC handset which looks familiar to the HTC Muse, but with a slider and completely different specs. Come on HTC, give a nice Windows Mobile handset which can compete with the Nokia 6120 and the 6300! Edited August 30, 2007 by sxywill2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Another pic of the HTC device... The other device ISN'T HTC, but IS WinMo. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandt Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Looks great, been waiting for more info on this for ages. Would be cool if you could add apps to speed dials in the same way as Smartphones do, to make up for the lack of hardware buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kchrpm Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Seriously, though, I want a number pad for one-handed operation, a QWERTY keyboard for long and complex alphanumeric data, and the tilting screen so I can just set it on my desk sans cradle and see whatever's on there easily. I want a Nokia E90 in WinMo Pro form! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix (MVP) Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Personally, i like it. The Touch form factor is nice (tbh, it *is* pocketable ;)), and the slide is cool, the Touch seriously lacks in the data input department. Great to see more 3G around now too, heres hoping the Kine *and* th Cavalier find their way over here :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mandt Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Is Wi-Fi really a deal breaker anymore? especially in a world with Web n Walk and HSDPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
