Hands-on with the HTC Hermes / T-Mobile MDA Vario II

Last time we saw the HTC Hermes was at the 3GSM show. It's since made its way North, now sitting squarly in the halls of CeBIT. But you'd never know it -- no name on the shell, no display card detailing what the device is -- nothing. Just sitting there hoping for someone like us to come along and give it some love. Destined to appear with T-Mobile Germany this May as the MDA Vario II, this UMTS / HSDPA flauntin' Pocket PC still sports the specs we heard before: 300MHz Samsung processor, 128MB flash and 64MB memory, 2.8-inch display, 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, MicroSD, 2.1 megapixel camera, and a secondary videoconferencing camera. The MDA Vario II wasn't on the HSDPA network while we were giving it a walk-through, but then again it's always good to leave wanting just a bit more. Way too many snaps after the break.
