Four new HTC handsets were announced just this September 7th: two PocketPC models (P3300 and P3600) and two smartphones  (S620 and S310).  It's a good thing that the company has decided to diss their cryptic handset naming, as we saw with their first two models, the TyTN and MTeoR. Anyhoo, no need to expound on that, let us present to you already their four new handsets and the features that each of them sports:


p3300The HTC P3300 (aka Artemis) is a quad-band PDA phone and runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 OS PocketPC Edition. It comes with a pre-installed TomTom Navigator 6 GPS application and is available in two versions: Taster and Premium.


Taster only has one preinstalled city while the Premium version has a complete set of maps for Western Europe. The P3300 has 2.8" TFT display and a 2megapixel camera on the back. It also has FM radio and can connect via GPRS,EDGE, WiFi, and USB. It has 128 internal memory and a microSD card expansion slot.


p3600

The quad-band 3G-enabled P3600 model runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 for PocketPC and has HSDPA support. It sports a 2.8" LCD touchscreen display, a 2 megapixel camera for photos and a VGA one for video calls. Connectivity options include EDGE, GPRS, Wi-Fi, USB and Bluetooth. The P3600 also has 128 MB of internal memory and has a Mini SD card expansion slot.


S620

The S620, or better known as Excalibur, is also a quad-band and run on Windows Mobile 5.0. It has a QWERTY keyboard, a 2.4" QVGA display in landscape mode, a 1.3 megapixel camera on its back. The phone has 64 MB RAM and 128 MB internal memory but also provides a microSD card slot. Like the previous two, the phone's connectivity options are GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi, USB and Bluetooth (with A2DP). The HTC S620 is said to be designed to compete with devices with Samsung i320, Motorola Q and Nokia E61.


s310

A quad-band smartphone of a lower class is the HTC S310 (aka Oxygen), which has a display resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and like the others, runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 for Smartphone. The 1.3 megapixel camera is found on the back, and like the three other handsets mentioned above, connectivity won't be a problem as this phone has EDGE, GPRS, USB and Bluetooth support. Internal memory has the size of 64 MB but can be expanded via the miniSD card slot.


We don't know yet how much these four handsets will cost, all we know is that these four new HTC handsets will be available in Q4 2006.

treoA new bundle has been put together to integrate the Treo smartphones, TomTom Navigator 6 software, and Palm's very own bluetooth GPS receiver.

The content of the bundle includes the TomTom Navigator 6 software, a 1GB Memory pre-installed map of the US and Canada, GPS receiver powered by SiRFStar III with Bluetooth Wireless technology for that faster and better location performance, a vehicle device cradle with mounting bracket and suction cap pad, as well as a vehicle power adapter.

Its new installations boast of better coverage with the latest Tele Atlas maps with coast-to-coast, cross boarder, door-to-door navigation between USA and Canada. It also has speed limit information, thus making you aware of the limits of the roads you're travelling on, even before you see the signs. Its point-of-interest searches is improved to help you find nearby necessary establishments, such as gas stations and restaurants along your route, and even attraction spots in the town you'd like to visit, with greater ease and speed!
