AT&T's next Pocket PC Phone


Back when we told you about AT&T Wireless sending their customers low-end phones in exchange for non-850MHz smartphones, we didn't know what was going to happen with their Microsoft Pocket PCs and Smartphones, though we've recently learned that Motorola's MPx100 Smartphone will be compatible with AT&T's new network and they should have it by this Summer. Apparently AT&T also has some Pocket PC plans as well. HP's long-rumored Pocket PC Phone (which may or may not be called the iPaq 6000 when it eventually launches)
is due out this June, but you're out of luck if you want to use it with AT&T, since T-Mobile is reported to have a three month exclusive on it. So now the word is that AT&T will launch a new Pocket PC Phone from Audiovox in the next few months (the phone is actually made by Wistron, who also make the phone for Lenovo). Details are slim but they claim that the SP230a will have a 400MHz processor, 32MB ROM, 64MB RAM, and support tri-band GSM (850/1800/1900 — i.e. it'll work with AT&T).
