Vodafone Germany already committed to Toshiba G710 as "VDA"
Like the QWERTY form factor on Windows Mobile Standard? Like Toshiba? Hate 3G data? Live in Germany? If you answered "yes" to all of the above, you might just be a perfect fit for the "VDA." Hot on the heels of an announcement from Toshiba as the unbranded G710, the::unwired reports that Vodafone Germany has signed up to carry the little beast in its lineup as the VDA. Besides EDGE data, you get a 2 megapixel cam, GPS, 64MB of RAM, 128MB of internal ROM, and support for microSD cards up to 2GB all displayed through a positively uninteresting QVGA display. No word yet on pricing or availability, but we can't imagine there are too many folks out there rearing to line up for this one.
A couple Vodafone networks get the HTC Vox
For fans of Windows Mobile's Smartphone (or "Standard," if you prefer) variant, the Vox pretty much represents the pinnacle of the platform's evolution. HTC's always been good at letting users of its devices have their cake and eat it too -- the Vox is no exception, rocking a numeric keypad up top and a slide-out QWERTY for when the texting starts to get intense. Unfortunately, the phone is still a bit scarce, so there's nothing like news of its release somewhere in the world to perk us up a smidge. This time around Vodafone's German and British outposts are the lucky winners (or their customers are, we guess), offering the Vox as the "VDA V" and "v1415" respectively. The German version goes for €209.50 (about $281) on contract, while Brits have a bit cheaper go at it, ranging from free to £25.53 (about $51) depending on the contract selected. Enjoy, folks; meanwhile, our patient wait continues.Read - Vodafone Germany's VDA V [Via the::unwired]Read - Vodafone UK's v1415 [Via the::unwired]
Vodafone VDA IV passes through FCC
At first blush you might think that this slick little number is an HTC vintage, but you'd be wrong. ASUSTeK has a new model due soon in Europe, the VDA IV, a very decent looking Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone device featuring UMTS, tri-band GSM, 128MB flash memory, 64MB SDARM, a 2.2-inch QVGA display, microSD slot, Bluetooth 1.2, USB 1.1 (uhh, ok), 3.5mm headphone jack (huzzah!), 1100mAh battery, and a diminutive 110 x 47 x 18mm body (4.3 x 1.85 x 0.7-inch). We can handle it. The FCC, as always, has the full rundown.
