| Shame about lack of 3G. There's no compact 3G Windows phone with a qwerty keyboard and so it would have been unique. |

While HTC Herald and HTC Hermes are fine devices, they have keyboards usable only with 2 hands and success of BlackBerrry devices has proven that single-handed QWERTY keyboard is a must! While HTC Excalibur features QWERTY keyboard for single handed usage, it is powered by MS Smartphone ( Windows Mobile smartphone edition) what means that it has no touch screen and thus can't compete with Palm Treo and other smartphones. |
At one point you talk about the success of the blackberry yet how many blackberry's do you know that have touch screens.
You are so obsessed with having a touch screen yet it's not even necessary. |

but blackberry-s have genuine wheel that makes up for the lack of touch screen.
in my opinion a phone should have either touch screen or genuine wheel (or both).
yes, touch screen is not necessary but without a wheel and without touch screen navigating is very difficult... and finally: some people got used to touch screen and cant go back to touchscreen-less device... |

The link to the forum on CE4arabic.com is asking us to create a login (in arabic) I think. I can't view the info on i-Mate devices. Can someone post info? 
Also is there anymore to HTC's roadmap slides than info on Vox? |
