HTC Hermes looks exactly like HTC Wizard - a slide out keyboard on the left side and quite small size. One thing is different though: it also supports UMTS and HSDPA and 3G video calling ...

Ugh! No EDGE on the device, at least? For the non-rest-of-the-world-UMTS areas such as the US, this device will be another niche product like the JASJAR. And, what's with the name JASJAM anyway? What does JAS mean?

Will HSDPA be US-friendly, or will that follow suit with UMTS on a different frequency that carriers such as Cingular won't be able to use again? Evil or Very Mad

I was looking forward to this device, but the lack of EDGE really, really gives my O2 XDA Atom a lot more time left in my hands - I'm really appreciating the speed (at least over GPRS!) and the XScale processor together.

Of course, I'm assuming the original specs for the processor of the Hermes will have to be XScale, since 3G video calling can be processor-intensive, something that the OMAP processor will lack the power to do, yes?

HSPDA will be US-friendly, so don't worry about measly EDGE Wink

And yes, it will have an X-scale 416 Mhz processor. TI OMAP processor's will be limited to smartphones only here on.

You're all excited about HSDPA in the new JasJam, but I suspect if Cingular brings this phone out (or other HSDPA phones) then it would be downward compatible to EDGE for those regions of the US where the higher speeds are not available. The carriers can be greedy but they are not typically dumb when they have a chance at getting your $$$$$.

Thank you for the links with the pictures. But they are from november. When I look at the Startrek; the design is changed.

So maybe, no probably, reading the description from msmobiles, the device appearance changed. So that is why I am curious to see the pictures taken during 3GSM 2006!

This phone looks real good. I was hoping for a 416mhz x-scale processor but it looks like they went for the samsung 300mhz processor. Besides that the phone is perfect in my opinion
