What's the HTC CONV100?

Don't expect the tight-lipped boys and girls at the Bluetooth SIG to tell you much, but HTC's brewing up something -- and that something has Bluetooth. Not the most informative bit of data, we know, but there's not a lot to go on from browsing the SIG's approval of the new device. HTC's internal model numbers typically start with the first four letters of the handset's codename, so start thinking of words that start with "CONV" -- bonus points for coming up with things tied to Greek mythology -- and let us know what you've got.

If it's a winmo phone:
convalesce
convict
convolute
convulse

If it's not (maybe their android phone?):
convey
converse
convenient
converge/convergent/convergence

If it's like the tilt:
convertible

I'm putting my cash on Converge.

CONVerter? (I.e. some sort of bluetooth-to-XXX dongle?)

CONVersation(alist)? Headset of some sort?

CONVulsion? (E.g. an ugly-looking headset?)

Aww. I give up.

I'm putting my money on Converge or Converse.

i could be wrong but im fairly certain theres not a single greek mythology name that even contains the letter "v". only when written in roman. but even still nothing starts with "co".

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 5th 2008 10:34PM]

maybe it's the new android series of phones. It's there CONVersion. Heh heh? Yeah, that was corny but it really could be the android models

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 5th 2008 10:39PM]

Or if we use Latin roots:

"con" (meaning against) and "v" for video drivers?

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 5th 2008 11:14PM]

its CON-vict. It will come with pre loaded apps for bank robbery and feature a switchblade as a stylus for its touchscreen!

"conVom" ....protects both you and your phone from Virtual std's....

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 6th 2008 12:54PM]

The incentive to make a cdma phone is low considering HTC's main audience is Asia & Europe...and neither are cdma.

Maybe they've gone with a MOTO naming scheme?

new HTC naming CONVention =P

(God save them if they go down that path.)
