Nice to see the Iolite getting a little more play, and thanks to jouwmobiel.nl, a little more real. The specs we've heard apparently have the Iolite packing Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, 512 MB and 288 MB RAM and ROM, UMTS / HSDPA, quad-band GSM / EDGE, GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFi. If you take a peek at the front of the device you'll see a button with a small footprint on one side and a letter A on the other which will most likely hook into its GPS system in some way. We should get a pile more information by the time Mobile World Congress rolls around in mid-February.

Would be nice if it had android....
you took the words right out of my mouth.
The read link has the same specs that Expansys leaked as reported by Ziegler on 6 January.
Actually, they're missing that the 3G bands are 900/2100 MHz.
This seems a step backwards from my HTC's Touch HD, worse camera, worse specs, more buttons...
Seems just like the old touch cruise with some (bad) make up on; come to think seems a step backwards also compared to HTC's diamond and Pro, the latter of which I had for a couple of weeks and hated for it's small and inadequate touch screen.
Now I've had the touch HD for a couple of months and I can really tell you: HTC has got a real winner here, so what's the point in coming out with this...this?
Ah, but the Touch HD is supposed to be the top-of-the-range model from HTC; the Iolite is specced for those people who have better things to do than sit on the bleeding edge - you know, the people that you yourself have no time for whatsoever.
It looks like the new T-Mobile Shadow in a different casing so they can capitalize on the mass orders of internal components from T-Mob.
Is that TouchFlo 3D on a QVGA device? Methinks the (XDA)developers will be active soon...
Erm... small footprint? It's not spot-on, but it rather resembles the Gnome Desktop logo... (?)
Duh HTC, so hangup is equal to Home. And almost the same as OK/Back. Why do you have 3 keys doing that same deal on the horrible capacitive keypad on the Touch Pro, again?
