HTC's CLIO200 mystery device shows up at the FCC

Oh HTC, you cads. What did we find while carefully sifting through mountains of seemingly useless and definitely boring FCC data? Well, for starters, we unearthed reports on the HTC-made CLIO200, a heretofore unknown device that appears to be making its way through the approval process. Using our Miss Cleo-like "sixth sense," we've discovered that the unit will sport CDMA, EV-DO, 802.11b/g, and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity. The FCC is referring to this little guy as a UMPC (and it does have the telltale air vents of a such a device), though it also seems like it could be a mobile phone of the TyTn variety (at least from the looks of the diagrams depicting it being held to a user's ear). Despite this minor confusion, we can promise you that at the very least it is certainly not a Sony Clie, nor an Clio NXT. Want to get "all" the "details?" Direct your browser towards the FCC site and immerse yourself in a world of impenetrable digits and charts.

Update: As some of our astute readers have pointed out, this appears to be nothing more than the HTC Shift, no stranger to the pages of Engadget. We have no idea why the company has decided to start calling the device the Clio, but at least now that this mystery has been solved, we can all get some much needed rest.

CLIO200=Helio200?

[Geoff @ Nov 29th 2007 10:56PM]

Clio? Did they buy Vadem?

[Johnathon Zirkle @ Nov 29th 2007 11:02PM]

Just hope its not for Verizon. They will throw their crap ui on there and disable the wifi and useful bluetooth features.

[moe @ Nov 29th 2007 11:02PM]

the starcomm 6800 has already been released which is the cdma tytn. tytn 2 would be nonsense in the cdma world as it is just a gsm 3g upgrade. rev.b which was a huge waste of everyones time and money has yet to produce any worthwhile hardware/applications/and real world speeds.

[Billy S @ Nov 30th 2007 12:12AM]

Please be for Verizon and give it Windows Mobile 6. Keep all Wifi and bluetooth and i will buy this phone in a heartbeat.

[David Clark @ Nov 30th 2007 9:30AM]

Mmm.. I agree, except I want the new WM Photon.

[superseagulls @ Nov 30th 2007 12:50AM]

OF COURSE This is just the CDMA version of the Shift... if you bothered to look around the exact same picture is in the Official HTC manual:
http://www.htc.com/support/pdf/htcshift/ShangriLa_HTC_Shift_UserManual_English.pdf (page 18) There are a number of builds of the Shift floating around with various builds / radios / HDD / Phone enabled / dissabled for relavent markets / customers..........

[Dean @ Nov 30th 2007 1:30AM]

good catch

[BigDaddyM @ Nov 30th 2007 2:05AM]

[Logboy @ Nov 30th 2007 3:07AM]

Yes, good catch by the way.

[Bill Dorr @ Nov 30th 2007 3:59AM]

That's totally the HTC Shift.

[Kornel @ Nov 30th 2007 3:10AM]

obviously its a shift we have been following the news on it for almost a year. check umpcportal.com for more info Joshua.

[Logboy @ Nov 30th 2007 3:05AM]

It don't matter what it is...Verizon will take two years to get it out.

[Ricardo @ Nov 30th 2007 5:03AM]

What I want is a VGA Tytn II.

[Josh L @ Nov 30th 2007 9:01AM]

Judging by the picture, this is clearly a state-of-the-art question mark generator.
