It has recently surfaced amongst the mobile electronics community that HTC is going to put out a new Vox phone, a nice little GSM number with the official name of S710.
Some of the rumored features are the sliding QWERTY keyboard, a 2.4 inch QVGA screen, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g Wifi, a 2 Megapixel camera, and even a micro SD slot. As far as memory is concerned, it will probably feature 128 MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM.
You will note that I am not using any definite verbs for these descriptors. I've looked at what commentators are saying about the picture, and they've noticed a slight flaw. Take a look at the screen, and compare it to the corners of the bezel. Whoa! Are the graphics going outside of the borders? Either this phone is better than I'm hearing about, or someone leaked a Photoshopped picture just to get the rumor mill spinning.
You may also notice that even though this guy carries Windows Mobile, there doesn't appear to be a way to control it. That is, assuming there is no touchscreen, there isn't any buttons for scrolling purposes. While we're at it, let's talk about the screen in comparison to the QWERTY keyboard. I don't know if I could practically use a keyboard that is flipped like this. I mean, it's sideways, for crying out loud! Most smartphones usually have their screens as a wide, not like this.
Something tells me that there is probably some truth to these rumors, at least as far as the specs are concerned. I'm betting that this photo was probably made simply so that consumers would have something to look at, therefore something to look forward to. This is the "sight and sound" generation, and I think we would be bored with just a rumored spec sheet. So don't be surprised if the HTC Vox S710 Smartphone does come out with all those features, looking nothing like the picture. Or maybe it will. Until then, let's just assume that HTC is not in the final stage of this phone.
