The i600 is was announced as quadband gsm. So looks like the Blackjack but is way more powerful.

I dont understand how the Cavalier would come out ahead. I mean both the i600 and Cavalier have the same features (quadband, 3g, wifi), the only thing the cavalier has is a 2mp camera. But the i600 has a 416mhz processor compared to the Cavalier's 300mhz which is hardly faster then the current on the Blackjack and Dash right now....]]>Dec 27th 2006 1:05PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/26/htc-cavalier-does-battle-with-samsungs-i600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/26/htc-cavalier-does-battle-with-samsungs-i600/Dec 27th 2006 1:48PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/26/htc-cavalier-does-battle-with-samsungs-i600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/26/htc-cavalier-does-battle-with-samsungs-i600/
Interesting that the full-length review says that Nokia, with the E61, started this craze (of 'thin and powerful'): I think some serious credit needs to go to Motorola for starting it with the Q. I'd also argue that the E61 is not quite that 'thin' as the dimensions (outside of the thin bottom section) are nearly identical to the HP 6500/6900 series - hardly a device folks would call 'thin.' But if you do agree that the E61/62 is thin then the 'who started it all' crown should probably go to the Canadians... but then we could have a discussion about 'smart' :)]]>Dec 28th 2006 1:14PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/26/htc-cavalier-does-battle-with-samsungs-i600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/26/htc-cavalier-does-battle-with-samsungs-i600/Dec 29th 2006 3:03AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/26/htc-cavalier-does-battle-with-samsungs-i600/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/12/26/htc-cavalier-does-battle-with-samsungs-i600/The good:
+ HSDPA rocks at 1.8Mbps (like ADSL) and you can use with your laptop easily through Bluetooth.
+ The large screen
+ The keyboard eventhough it's small
+ The size
+ Wifi, 3G, HSDPA, Bluetooth
+ Micro SD

The bad:
- Battery with 3G (can be switched down to G and solve the problem)
- No Java engine in Vodafone ES. I had to add it myself (I have found IBM Java engine)
- No MSN
WM5.0 instead of WM6
- Internet access problem when use with realmail (Vodafone). Realmail has to be switched off manually in order to connect to internet. The reason: the phone cannot connect to 2 different profiles (Internet and Push email) at the same time.
- 220MHz but I have to admit that up to now it is fast enough
- Compatibility with existing WM5.0 programs (ie recording programs)
- Non standard USB conector (phone side)

I would buy it again. I come from a HTC Qtek 8310.]]>Apr 4th 2007 6:38AM
