O2 XDA Trion

Introduction / Preview : O2 XDA Trion

# The O2 XDA Trion is a Windows smartphone based on the HTC Hermes handset. It is yet another result of a long collaboration between O2 and HTC, Roughly speaking, the O2 XDA Trion is a step up from the O2 XDA Mini S (based on the HTC Wizard). It has a 240x320 pixel display in 65,000 colours, a 2 megapixel main camera with a secondary camera for video calling, 64MB of internal memory, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wireless LAN support and a 400MHz processor (possibly an ARM-based Samsung S3C2440). There,s a slide-out keyboard too (the photograph is of a German QWERTZ keyboard). The weight is not known, but we anticipate that it will be about 160 grams. We believe that the Hermes used microSD expandable memory.
# The XDA Trion,s operating system is Windows Mobile 5.0, and it comes with Pocket versions of Outlook, Internet Explorer, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
# Currently the HTC Hermes is being advertised as "coming soon" by O2 in Germany as the O2 XDA Trion. No doubt it will also turn up as a T-Mobile MDA, Orange SPV and an i-Mate and Qtek handset. As always, don,t expect to get this if you,re a UK Vodafone subscriber as Vodafone can,t be bothered to sell this kind of kit to consumers.
