add to deliciousHere it is - my favorite WM6 device of this year (so far): the HTC Vox/S710. Check out the unboxing video below. After the jump, answers to the questions submitted over the weekend.
In case you're wondering, here's the rundown on the specs:
- Windows Mobile 6 Standard
- TI OMAP 201 MHz Processor
- 128 MB ROM (about 50 MB User accessible), 64MB RAM (again, about 50 MB of Program Memory)
- 101.5 mm x 50 mm x 17.5 mm / 120g
- GSM/GPRS/EDGE Quad-band
- WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0
- 2 megapixel camera
- Around 7 hours talk-time
On to the Q&A. If you have more questions, post 'em below!
I totally agree with you that its the most exciting WM6 device coming out. My one question is does it have wifi? I'm feeling it doesn't, which would suck a bit.
- Neil
It does indeed have WiFi, which is a relief as the s710 only has EDGE for wireless data otherwise.
2. Carriers?
3. Release Date?
4. Comparison shots with other US devices, Q, blackjack, or similar.

Sadly, no idea on carriers or release dates. I strongly suspect that T-Mobile will get it, though, as it looks like an excellent SDA replacement. I'll put up a bevy of comparison shots in the next day or two.
No 3G = No sale. This is not a revolutionary interface like the iPhone so the lack of 3G hurts this device.
- Jerry G
The lack of 3G is a pity (and a big one), but at least there's WiFi to lessen the blow.
how big is it?
what are the dimensions?
- skp
101.5 mm x 50 mm x 17.5 mm. Basically, it feels like your standard feature phone these days. As you can see in the video, it's smaller than the T-Mobile SDA, so it's pretty hand-friendly.
Does the vox have touchscreen? Can u edit windows office documents? How much did u pay for the device?
- Jack Borg
No touchscreen, as it's Windows Mobile 6 Standard Edition (aka non-touchscreen edition). Since it's WM6, you can indeed edit office documents, though creating new ones requires a little hack. Let's not talk too much about how much we paid - it's an import right now so it won't feel good to mention it. ;)
This phone looks great, thanks for the video!
But what's the deal with the even cooler S730/Wings that's supposed to come out in July (per http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=728)?? Will they really make the Vox outdated so quickly? Seems to make no sense...
