This morning T-Mobile released the new Motorola CLIQ XT Android smartphone. The third handset in the CLIQ line is a touchscreen-only device (no hardware keyboard) with Motorola’s MOTOBLUR widget-powered social networking software included. The CLIQ XT can be purchased today for $129 with a two-year service agreement from T-Mobile retail stores or from the company’s web site.
Today’s announcement also included interesting (and expected) Windows Phone news; the company confirmed that March 24 is the date for the release of the HTC HD2 Windows Phone. The cost with a service agreement will be $199. This information was provided to us by an inside source earlier in the month.
We have it on good authority that the T-Mobile HTC HD2 smartphone will launch on or around Wednesday, March 24th for $199. This information comes from a trusted source who is already using the HD2. We certainly hope it proves true.
The $199 price is, of course, after a two-year service agreement. Our source did not know the unsubsidized price (though it would likely be in the neighborhood of $500), nor were we told whether $199 is after a mail-in rebate or at checkout.
The HD2 is one of the most anticipated Windows Mobile smartphones in years, and features a huge 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen.
Thanks, K!
Well, it’s not a Windows Phone 7 Series model, but today HTC took the wraps off a new Windows Mobile handset: the HD mini.
The HTC HD mini is a smaller version of the HD2 Überphone, which is coming to T-Mobile in the spring. The smaller form factor does come with compromises: the HD mini has a slower processor (600MHz v. the HD2’s 1GHz) and a smaller 3.2-inch HVGA display. Other features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G wireless data connectivity, Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro with HTC Sense, 512MB of flash storage, 384MB of RAM, a 1200mAh Li-Ion battery, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
There was no official release date for the HD mini included in the press release, but you can expect the handset to hit the U.S. sometime after April.
You can read the full HTC press release after the jump.
HTC has posted an info page for the upcoming T-Mobile version of the HD2 Windows Phone. Aside from giving us our first look at the T-Mobile branded handset, it also reveals updated memory capacities beyond those of the non-U.S. versions of the HD2.
The RAM, system memory, and the flash ROM, file storage, have each received a capacity boost. The RAM has been increased from 448MB to 576MB. More interestingly, the ROM has been doubled to 1GB.
Why make these changes? Most likely to accommodate the version of Windows Mobile 7 expected to be made available for the T-Mobile HD2 later this year.
In addition to its internal memory, the T-Mobile HD2 will also ship with a 16GB microSDHC flash memory card.
