This device is the HTC Prophet (HTC is the manufacturer). It is already on sale as Dopod 818 Pro and is announced as i-Mate JAMin and Qtek S200. There is a great preview of the device here: http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-prophet-en.shtml and many websites report reviews and user impressions of the 818 Pro.

The Atom might not every come to europe, This device (HTC Prophet) will be on sale under a number of differnet names all over europe very soon.

Personally I would wait for the 3G versions of the HTC Wizard, and the Prophet these are far more powerful devices, but not on sale untl maybe June time.

3G versions of the HTC Wizard
That seems to be the model that might ruin P990 sales. I've been waiting for the P990 since it was announced and after having read alot about wm5 lately, I'm really not afraid to try a wm5 device with touchscreen.

Btw, just ordered a Qtek 8310 aka HTC Tornado. :D

is there a device that is coming soon that has

WIFI (b ok but prefer g) (with WPA and wep2)
320X240 res
at least 400 mhz processor (that TI 195 mhz one (that the imate kjam has) just does not cut it)
3G (so one can actually use the web without wifi)
WM 5.0
Bluetooth with A2DP for bluetooth stereo
SDIO but not essential


If yes when what is it etc etc

odelsteken, oeps! I hope you like it :S
I know what you think of it but I'm gonna give it a shot. I think with my history of wm2003 on my ipaq, I believe wm5 in my phone can pretty useful...

seems it was released Feb 3, according to expansys

[serpeant]

There was a link on the Australian Expansys web site to it, but now the link is gone. Does this mean that it wont be available in Australia?
