HTC "Polaris" live pic?

It's about time that HTC's Artemis gets kicked to the curb and its replacement may well be the hot little set pictured above. Dubbed the Polaris -- we've heard rumblings and rumors since way back -- it stands out with Windows Mobile 6 Pro, a 3.5 inch VGA screen -- VGA, those three letters are music to our ears -- 256 / 128 MB ROM and RAM, GPS, 3 megapixel camera with autofocus, and quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE. HSDPA also figures here -- but will only be beaming to this set in the 2100MHz range -- with the rumored specs rounding out with a mention of a "digital compass" and FM radio. Release date seems pegged at October this year, let's hope that the deluge is set to start, we need some QWERTY sets with similar specs, like, yesterday.

WHY!?! I was happy sitting and waiting patiently for the Eten X800. Now I'll need to wait for more details of this to come out.

The Polaris is 2.8", not 3.5"

if this rumored info is accurate, and after having played with a 3G
phone connection, this would really be a bad blow to the polaris to be
2100MHz band only (high speed data not supported in US).

i'd rather have the less-ram/bloody-eye glofiish with tri-band 3G.
