We offer you the first part of the review, the continuation will not take long. Conventionally, new items can be divided into two categories. First come those which are already known to most online media. Among them: a cross between a smartphone and UMPC - Model HTC X7500 (Athena), communicator HTC P3350 (Love) and a smartphone HTC S650 (Cavalier). About these devices already described in the news and mobile panorama, also next year we can expect appearance of the third - "X" while with the only known representative of the HTC X7500, so here we shall not dwell on them, providing you with mostly pictures of them.
HTC S650 (Savalier) and HTC P3340 (Love): Picture files
During the preparation of this article our editorial staff also lucky enough to get at the disposal of exclusive pictures of starting early next year, devices known to our readers on the news by romantic names - Smartphone HTC S650 (Savalier) and communicator HTC P3340 (Love). Indeed, a sweet couple;) recall separately for each of them. So, the first smart phone built on the platform of Cavalier, is a remake of the recently introduced HTC S620 (Excalibur). Externally, these models are virtually identical, and the hardware specifications of almost no change, except for the installation of more powerful CPU of 400 MHz and the new support cetey third generation (UMTS / HSDPA). In the rest on board, HTC Cavalier is still the same full arsenal of wireless: GSM / GPRS module with support for EDGE, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and a unique control - lateral sensory strip JoGGR, performing, among others, and the function of the scroll wheel.

As for the second novelty, the communicator HTC P3340 (Love), it also provides a lightweight GPS-tuning the model HTC P3300 (Artemis). But unlike its predecessor HTC P3300, this unit is not equipped with a GPS-receiver. Due to some features, such as special software and hardware buttons direct access to the content model will be regarded as a musical. Otherwise, HTC Love - almost a copy of Artemis, if you do not take into account a slightly modified design of the case. The legacy of the communicator got a spectacular appearance, all wireless modules (from a phone GSM / GPRS / EDGE to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi), FM-receiver and a 2 megapixel camera, as well as corporate control - jog ball. Remember, this is quite handy miniature version of the trackball, which replaces the joystick.
