The first images of an as yet unannounced messaging device for AT&T have surfaced.
The UTStarcom GTXT75 (Knick) at first glance resembles the Sidekick Slide with a slightly rounder shape and vertical sliding mechanism, but the similarities end there.
The device features quadband GSM/triband UMTS access, microSD expansion slot, support for AT&T services such as Mail, Cellular Video, IM, and GPS, Polaris HTML browser, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, QWERTY keyboard, voice control, and 1.3 megapixel camera with video recorder.
No further details are available at this time.
isn’t HTC the OEM for both Danger and UTStarcom?
Danger uses different OEMs… but HTC is not one of them. Sharp is responsible for manufacturing most Sidekicks, Motorola was responsible for the ill-fated Sidekick Slide. PCD (formerly UTStarcom) handles device adaptation and intermediary relations.
HTC does use PCD (again, formerly UTStarcom) for device approval and carrier relations, on CDMA devices. That is why older HTC CDMA phones were branded as UTStarcom. More recently, HTC uses their brand on the devices, while PCD still handles carrier relations, testing, and approval work in the U.S.
