HTC Oxygen bagged in the wild

Well, that didn't take long. Just a couple weeks ago, we didn't know what the heck the HTC Oxygen was, and now we have some shots of HTC's freshest candybar Windows Mobile 2005 Smartphone doing its thing. PocketPT.net is reporting 64MB of RAM, 64MB of ROM, a 220 x 176 display, 1.3 megapixel camera, and a 201MHz OMAP850. Fairly pedestrian specs for an as-yet-unreleased HTC smartphone, but according to our sources, we believe they missed a crucial line item: some sort of mobile TV support (though we're not sure what standard). HTC tends to be good about quad-banding their GSM devices, so let's all hold hands and wish for this bundle of joy to cross the pond.

Maybe this will be a budget smartphone...for the masses. The HTC code name could be a play on words...you know cuz we all need oxygen, maybe we all need an HTC smartphone.

Cingular's doing pretty well with their 2125 and that has nearly, if not the same, spec's as this and its cheap with contract.

This is what a smart phone should look like - a regular phone with better features. The space is a little crowded with big fat flat pieces like Treos, Blackberrys, and now the Q that just want to get big screens and lots of keys. Can't wait to see how this is priced or who might carry in the U.S.
