Guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Loosk like the poor Cavalier has been abandoned ;)
Guest mandt Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 The Nike looks very good, will be interesting to see how it compares to the, very similar looking, Samsung sliders. Did anyone notice the (Button?) labelled music in this image >PDAdb< and another to the right (Camera?) I might have to get one 'for the missus' ;)

Spec and form factor are very nice so long as its not a brick ;)
Guest mandt Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 No sign of any dimensions anywhere? Spec and form factor are very nice so long as its not a brick ;) Yeah I've been hunting for that info too!
Guest mandt Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Ok so I've just printed the image and taken a ruler to it, Given a screen diagional of 2.6 inches I reckon its dimensions should be around 99mm x 54mm Wild speculation would say that as the current/upcoming sliders (Kaiser etc) seem to have a thickness of 18mm we can expext something similar Now who knows how to use sizeeasy ;)
Guest mcwarre Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Loosk like the poor Cavalier has been abandoned :D It was replaced by the Vectra years ago. ;)
Guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 It was replaced by the Vectra years ago. :D oh no you di n't ;)

Guest madbandit Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 lol... the Vox doesnt ship till april aparently and already its successor is penciled in for release in July... either way it still looks like an upgrade for C600 customers!

Guest Jakob Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 Well.. Looks to me like a boring HTC year.. Still, no follow up to the C500. S710 and S730 are much to big, containing a complety useless and spacewasting QWERTY keyboard. There´s plenty of Pxxxx that contains keyboards and thats the way to go, if you want a keyboard. A Smartphone (the S) is a Smart Phone that does not contain a keyboard. For some peculiar reason HTC doesn´t get it.. So please HTC - screw the keyboard in th S versions and make us a proper followup to the c500. /Jakob

Just because Orange decided not to distribute it is not down to HTC. Personally I like the keyboard, roll on the successor to the Excalibur ;)
Guest Jakob Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 Well - I´ve got the Mteor. But: Standby-time is less than 2 days, the back cover keeps falling of in the pocket and it is to big. So I´ve actually switched back to my C500 because it works so much better than the Mteor. The only thing the C500 doesn´t have is the nice screen in the Mteor. (and Edge/3G - but I can do without it) /J Some would say the Metor was the follow up to the C500 (C600). Just because Orange decided not to distribute it is not down to HTC.

Guest Webreaper Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 Out of interest, now that O2 have dropped HTC as a supplier, anyone know if they've any plans on bringing in a device in the same form-factor as the Kaiser (i.e., keyboard + GPS). The Zinc is about perfect for me (including its release date :D ) except for the lack of built-in GPS. ;)

Guest sxywill2005 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 Jacob! The S710 is my next device! Don't dis! I agree though, HTC haven't released any decent candybar handsets since the C500 and C600. I always seem to think that the Vox will be in a simular size to the Nokia 6600 ;) http://www.nokia.co.uk/link?cid=EDITORIAL_29109
Guest mandt Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 I do: http://www.sizeasy.com/page/comp/982 :D Nice one! Looking like an excellent device I think ;)
Guest Jakob Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 C600? Not much of a step up I know but you are geting WM5 and the QVGA screen ...... You´re right.. I thought about it numerous times. It would just seem plain strange to "upgrade" to a 1½ year old device. I just think that HTC should get their a... together and release a decent Smartphone (instead of these boring PDA wannabe Smartphones) /J
