Taiwanese ODM High Tech Computer (HTC) Corp will ship an updated PPC 2003/ARM4 version of its Falcon (aka Spaceneedle, Wallaby) PPC Phone Edition design, as sold by AT&T, mm02 and T-Mobile, before the end of June.
PPC 2003 Phone Edition devices will remain distinct from their Windows Smartphone cousins by continuing to use touch screens.
hmmmmm June 2004 perhas
IT'S A SOMEWHAT strange admission but mobile operator O2 claims to have captured 80 per cent of the Irish market, 59 per cent of the UK market and 36 per cent of the Western Europe for 'voice enabled PDAs' with a mere 64,000 sales of its original XDA device.
So obviously it's a small market, with the Handspring Treo being the chief rival. Understandably O2 hopes to do better than this by introducing the xDA II before Xmas 2003.
One of the improvements not mentioned in the blurb is a detachable battery - considering battery life was its biggest weakness, hopefully this facility will enable users to carry around a working xDA all day. As anyone could easily have predicted, the XDA II will run Microsoft's Phone Edition of Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PC. Why is Microsoft using ten words when a single name would suffice?
Anyway, its processor will be faster using an Intel Xscale 400 MHz and feature 64MB of memory as standard. Usefully it will have both a digital camera and support for Bluetooth built-in but Wi-Fi connectivity will be an add-on.
Talking of add-ons, in Germany O2 has just released the XDA NaviKit which adds a GPS capability to the car kit it already markets. Another addition you can make is to download O2's xmail client which gives you access to Outlook information stored on a corporate Microsoft Exchange server. No POP3 version of xmail appears to be available. µ

I just saw an Everex PPCPE with Windows Mobile 2003 at Jarir (a local bookstore chain in Saudi Arabia) although the rest of the hardware spect were similar to the Qtek 1010 (XDA) - And is priced lower than the Qtek.
Has anyone tried this set... am thinking about getting one for my wife (need to get her off my Qtek ) If so how does it perfom in comparision to the XDA.
Thanks

No SD-card for 920, however on the cheaper 820 there is a sd-card slot.
EDIT:
From WMPoweruser:
Winfuture.de reports the Nokia Lumia 920 will be released in Germany in mid-October and will retail for 600 Euro ($758, £476).
The Austrian art magazine ‘Future Zone‘ reported that Nokia wants to deliver the Lumia 920 from the middle of October in Germany. They expect the handset to initially launch only in a few countries, much like the roll-out of the Nokia Lumia 800, before being available everywhere.
The handset will be introduced first in Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Russia, before becomes available in late October in Poland. The Scandinavian countries, Portugal and Spain will receive the handset a short time later.
The Nokia Lumia 820 will follow 2 weeks later in the same markets and will retail for around 450 Euro ($568, £357).
Of note is that the Samsung Galaxy S III 16 GB without LTE is 580 Euro, making the 32 GB LTE Nokia Lumia 920 very price competitive.
A cheaper version of the Lumia 920 without LTE will also be available.

I really liked the look of the 820.

They said it already during the Windows Phone Summit 2 months back. They won't be integrating Skype into the OS. They will allow any VoIP App to fully integrate itself with WP8's Dialer and allow it to run in the background (which includes Skype but won't force Skype on everyone's handset (which would lead to problems with carriers)).
Does anyone think the specs might be wrong? I was disappointed when the 920 didn't list AWS support, but then when I saw that the 820 also didn't list it I became a bit suspicious since many are saying the 820 is destined for TMobile US.
The Nokia 920 its too heavy and big for a 4.5" display, 130.3 x 70.8 x x10.7 mm and 185g.
It's a shame because the rest of the hardware (camera, screen, built materials, etc) and the nokia software, are great.
The Ativ S by comparation with a 4.8" display has 137.2 x 70.5 x 8.7 mm and 135g.
Sturdier shell, bigger camera compartment (you need room for the camera assembly to move for the optical stabilization to be able to work), the extra Hardware for wireless charging and due to the improved touch technology by Synaptics I guess they need more room for the screen as well (I'm pretty sure it's not on-cell technology as with Samsung's SuperAMOLED).
er , someone say lunch?
oh. launch.
yawn.

I like heavy phone LOL

That 920 would of been cool if it only had the SD slot.... Oh, well, HTC's is on the 19th, maybe they will have something to blow away the 920. Over all besides the lack of the newest Windows Phone 8 standard missing (MicroSD), the 920 is a great phone

Some people are hard to please the L900 was 127.8 x 68.5 x 11.5 mm and 160 g.
Considering all the new tec in this phone it is only 25g heaver and slightly thinner.
Wish Nokia went with Android instead. Looks to be a decent handset but I won't go near it with it having Windows.

try it out first? yeah I'm an android fan too, but mostly for the apps not the actual OS :S I'm growing a bit tired of the icons business... but what I didn't like about the windows phone was the app list either :S I preferred android's screen/icons over the app list.
Kind of want just the metro UI as homescreen and android's app drawer lol.
back to topic, yeah, try out the windows phone, I'll stop by store when it's out. Nothing to say I'll buy it, but this phone is one that I'll make a stop in to at least get hands on with
Prices are 450 Euro for Lumia 820 and 600 Euro for Lumia 920. Worth or not ?
Source for the pricing?

This phone will definitely be subsidized under contract with phone companies (speaking of US)
As for AT&T USA, I'm thinking this phone should sell for $100-$200.

"price competitive" (which requires signing a 2 year contract AND possible etf's) isn't good enough to entice folks already comfortable with their respective platforms.
the s3 has a very good reputation. the 920 has..... what?
