HTC Wizard Coming to Market

Several rumors have been reported surrounding the latest Windows Mobile Smartphone from HTC. The Wizard replaces the popular HTC Magician, aka T-Mobile MDA Compact, i-mate JAM, etc. The Wizard is a GSM phone that is reported to include: EDGE, Bluetooth, WiFi, Windows Mobile 5.0, 2MP camera, mini-SD slot and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

According to Pocket PC Italia, the specs are as follows:

• Quad Band GSM/EDGE
• Texas Instruments OMAP 850 CPU
• 128MB RAM, 64MB ROM
• 2.8" QVGA display
• Bluetooth
• WiFi
• IrDA
• 2.1 MP camera with LED light
• Speaker/headphone jack
• Slide out QWERTY keyboard
• Mini-SD slot
• Mini-USB for sync

In the US both Cingular and T-Mobile will be able to support the phone, but it's far too early for either to comment. Rumors speculate HTC will be distributing units by early 2006.
