You guys are not doing your home work. This phone is going to t-mobile as the Wing II. Compared to the previous wing, this phone is alot sleeker and even offers touch flo. It’s a step up from the original wing.

I agree with HTC standardizing everything. I think that’s in line with MS saying we’re going to be seeing less handsets but more standardized ones in the future…makes sense.

By the way, the image is relatively fake.

That’s the O2 XDA Guide (with the O2 branding cleverly photoshopped).

It’s again made by HTC, but it’s not the HTC-branded retail device codenamed Iolite.

I hope we’ll get free upgrades to WM 7…

The most interesting thing here is that HTC is building the majority of it’s phone with near identical hardware specs. This is putting WM 7 in a much more stable position when it gets rolled out and should help standardize the WinMo experience like some of the single form factor devices are capitalizing on/

The problem is that there is no shortage of decent WM 6.1 phones. It’s not really very exciting until it has WM6.5/7 or Android or something else new.

Ugh… I hope that’s not the “Palm Pre” killer HTC was talking about, that thing IS ugly. The Touch Diamond and Pro are both gorgeous, what the h@ll is that thing??

An ugly phone from HTC in a long time. Reminds me of cheap Chinese phones that i saw being sold on the side of the road in Pakistan.
