Well I can say I've given up on speculating recently, not that I'm wrong or nowt... 
Just I don't want to disappoint you...
But there are times when I hear things in Blogs and press about things that are just not true or are completely without any facts! (Which is the same thing - ed)
Rant over, time for facts...
- AT&T are the new Cingular
- Vodafone have a big interest in the above
- HTC Hermes (v1605) has been out for a while now
- HTC Kasier is to be released on the AT&T network
- The v1415 is the new device on Vodafone
So, shall we put our hands together for the v1615?
Have a look at the opening of the Kasier here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP637Mq4qHA
The HTC Kasier has WiFi, BlueTooth, GPS, Full flip up keyboard with 256MB RAM and 128 ROM!!! This is a fully loaded device... What's wrong with it!!!
Though I might be wrong, it might not every get released on Vodafone...
Let's hope not eh!
