HTC Polaris surfaces

In the melee of the recent HTC announcement madness, it seems that we all forgot about another exciting release from the Windows Mobile powerhouse. These shots, which are the first known live pics of the device, reveal the HTC Polaris in front of nothing other than the HTC Shift. The handset features HSDPA, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and an FM radio. Pretty stacked in terms of connectivity, if we had to pass judgement. It also appears to sport that customized HTC homescreen plugin that we also find on the HTC TyTN II. HTC has yet to announce or confirm any sort of release timetable or price point info, but given the presence of these test units, we’d guess that a full scale launch isn’t that far off.

    I’m going to say Ugly, atleast from that shot. Could they not keep the spare tire look from the wheel? It looks like some HP product from 5 years ago.

    No Thanks, HTC makes alot of really good products but their designs are not all that good. And of course its WM.

    The final product will look exactly like the HTC P3300 but and having a flat flush screen it is the best HTC phone around. The final product in black is great.

    hmm, looks like this one will have the touch screen keypad. Works well on my iphone, but the P3300 also came with sylus and they hype the roller wheel and track ball combinations, no thanks.

    what’s with the spare tire on the front? looks like they spent all their R&D money on the inside of the gadget.
