Hands-on with the Telus HTC S640, aka HTC Iris
Telus was kind enough to zip over another handset for our viewing enjoyment, the pretty fab -- though somewhat homely -- HTC S640. This little rubber-finished handset packs EV-DO, Windows Mobile 6 standard, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, and a pretty well planned QWERTY effort for mobile messaging speed demons. So what do we think in a few lines or less? We like the handset's form factor, the finish -- which is really nice as your hands do stick quite well to the material -- and we love the two rocker style "soft keys," they're hands down the best thing about the device's design. Sure, the keypad is a wee bit cramped, but without growing the S640's chin in a big way (Canadians, think Brian Mulroney), we think they've done well with the layout. The S640 can be grabbed right now for about $150 on a 3 year contract. Read on for a pile of pics -- including a few nice comparisons with Telus' HTC Touch.%Gallery-9924%
Windows Mobile 6 Standard in pictures
In light of Microsoft raising the curtain on Windows Mobile 6 and the fact that we have our paws on a couple devices running late pre-release builds, we figured there was really no better way to commemorate the occasion than with a good ol' fashioned gallery detailing every last nook and cranny. Our first collection of eye candy takes a closer look at Standard (what Windows Mobile 5 users will know better as Smartphone Edition), but not to worry, touchscreen fanboys and girls -- your Professional gallery is coming up soon!
