Via Engadget:
Without much ado, the HTC Raphael, now called the T-Mobile MDA Vario IV in Europe, will hit streets sometime in Q2 2008. As for specs, we're looking at 158 grams, 300 minutes of talk time, 480x640 pixel screen, tri-band GSM, a 528MHz processor, 256MB on-board RAM, Bluetoorh, WiFi, GPS, FM radio, and a 3.2MP camera. Don't expect a stateside release -- at least in this incarnation -- given the tri-band action, so we'll continue to hold out for the Sprint version.
In my opinion the HTC version should look better than the T-mobile version since it will look like the diamond.
Anyway 256MB Ram just like the X1, that's awesome.
More specs.

Indeed, thats a really nice piece of hardware right there!
THe size will be phenomenal, since its about the size of my touch. And thats just tiny....
Really cant decide whether I should go for that beauty or sex1...?

It looks awesome and has a excellent spec sheet as well! The Xperia needs to get its panels sorted and fast like the TouchFlo3D. This is bound to be a hit, the SE panels are not so hot while HTC offers much more eye candy and the basics are mainly finger based.

I thought this was an enhanced Diamond Touch with a keyboard. It doesn't mention GPS or a flash in the specs on the site linked in the original post!

Hi all,
Well it does indeed look very good and i think the keyboard definitely looks better than the X1's, plus this will be out months before the X1 and most probably be cheaper to.
Which raises the question as there will most probably be Network versions from not just T-Mobile, O2, Orange and Voda in the UK and Europe just who will stock the X1 other than sim free. As in the US they have Network branded HTC products so again who will stock it other then Sim Free and i do see that as being a major hurdle for the X1 to overcome. Over an already established HTC product that comes with Network subsidies.
As we know Business tend to get it's phones with contracts as do the majority of end users so just who will spend their money on a sim free expensive X1 instead? of this product.

Users who owned phones with big screens (E90, iPhone,..) will have a hard time adjusting to this. Resolution is nice though but the size certainly isnt.
I believe that 3.0" is a minimum these days.. but I would say I am not going under 3,5".
Other then that, it seems like a nice phone.
