Qtek 8500 - Windows Mobile meets the RAZR

It's been coming for a while now, but it's finally arriving this month - the HTC "Star Trek" phone, which will be branded by Qtek as the 8500. Expansys in the UK says they'll have it May 19th.

It's another music-themed devices from HTC, with built in music buttons. The cool accomplishment is the size & weight: 98.5 x 51.4 x 15.8 mm, weight 99g. It packs Windows Mobile 5, quad band, micro-SD slot, bluetooth and a 1.3megapixel camera. £306.34, full retail, early adopter penalty included - not bad at all.

I have been using smartphones from HTC since we (back when we was Action Engine) launched our software with Orange on the SPV back in fall 2002, and I ongoingly impressed with how they keep refining and improving their designs. Can't wait to try the new one!
