HTC Alpine aka O2 XDA IIi

XDA IIi Smartphone

Nothing like having more confusing and similar names to add to the smartphone/PDA phone nomenclature, but some new details have surfaced about the HTC's latest Pocket PC Phone, which is codenamed "Alpine" but has been picked up by O2 and christened the XDA IIi. More or less a refesher of the XDA II, the XDA IIi packs in a 520Mhz processor and a 1.3 megapixel camera—not to be confused with the XDA IIs (bear with us here) which is probably going to be released by Cingular here in the States as the Siemens SX66. Biggest difference you're likely to actually notice? The XDA IIi doesn't have the slide-out keyboard of the SX66/XDA II. Phew. Those ODMs never go easy on us.
