Attention! The same stuff you can read in Russian. Follow this link: X-Files - HTC communicators in 2007 This material is based on rumors, circulating Internet lately. For accuracy of all data we shall not warrant, as can still change. But, apparently, we are expected with very perspective year and half-year. This is the first part of an article, we'll have some more info a bit later, you'll find links at HPC.ru main page. Nominally novelties could be divided into two main categories. The first category includes those, which are already known to the Internet-media: HTC X7500 (Athena), PDA phone HTC P3350 (Love) and smartphone HTC S650 (Cavalier). These devices have already been reviewed on the news and in the mobile panorama; therefore we will not dwell upon them here, but will mainly present their photos.

HTC S650 (Savalier) & HTC P3340 (Love): photo-files

During the preparation of this article we managed to receive exclusive photos of the new devices, which the mass-media provided with their romantic names - Smartphone HTC S650 (Savalier) and PDA phone HTC P3340 (Love). Really, a sweet couple. ;) We shall remind separately of each of them. So, the first clever phone, constructed on the Cavalier platform, represents a remake of the recently presented HTC S620 (Excalibur). Externally these models are practically identical, and hardware characteristics almost have not undergone changes apart from a more powerful 400 MHz processor and the support of the third generation networks (UMTS / HSDPA). In other respects, the HTC Cavalier has the same full wireless arsenal: GSM / GPRS module with the support of EDGE, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and also a unique management element - the lateral touch strip JoGGR (alternative of a scrolling wheel).

The second novelty - HTC P3340 (Love) - represents easy tuning of the GPS-model HTC P3300 (Artemis). Unlike its predecessor (HTC P3300), this device is not supplied with a GPS-receiver. Due to some features, like the special software and hardware buttons of direct access to the content, the model will be considered as musical. We can say that the HTC Love is practically a copy of the Artemis, if we do not take into consideration a slightly changed design. The device is equipped with all wireless modules (GSM / GPRS / EDGE, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi), an FM-receiver and a 2 Mpxl camera, as well as with a branded management element - jog-ball. It is a convenient variant of trackball, replacing joystick.
