HTC Libra

HTC LibraOver that the CTIA show in LA this week, a new Windows Mobile device was revealed from HTC, and the executives confirmed several key details about the device code-named Libra.

Libra has both a traditional numeric keypad and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The phone is significantly smaller than current HTC devices with a slide-out keyboard; it is closer in size to a typical bar-style feature phone.

The QWERTY keyboard has only three rows of keys, to accommodate the smaller device size. The Libra will be available in a CDMA version in Q1 next year, with support for EVDO Revision A high-speed data. A GSM version is also planned for next year.

It comes with Microsoft’s push email support built-in, includes a 1.3 megapixel camera, and also has a microSD memory card slot. All in a package measuring 112mm x 63mm x 13mm (4.4″ x 2.5″ x .5″).
