There was quite the stir over at an event being held in Germany by T-Mobile, when they unexpectedly released a new version of the Vario, which is being called the Vario IV. It was quite a day regardless, as T-Mobile also unveiled their MDA Compact IV, and even a new version of the Ameo. The devices are all HTC made, just as their predecessors.
The new Vario IV has one monster of a specification sheet. It has some of the highest end features I have ever seen packed into such a tiny package, with such gems as 300 minutes of talk time, a 3 mega pixel camera, 528MHz processor, 256MB or RAM, GPS, FM radio, and a glorious screen at VGA resolution. Also packed in is that wonderful keyboard.
Unfortunately for us, this is most likely never going to see a U.S release, so it looks like you will have to move to Europe of you want this bad boy. With its tri band radio it will of course work on EDGE here with T-Mobile, but without that 7.2mbps HSDPA, what is the point. If you do get it though, at least you may get to use some keyboard shortcuts.
i am so disapointed that this device is not likely to com to hte united states. i was looking forward to replacing my htc mogul with this. how do u feel.
