Thanks to the good ol’ FCC, we’ve spotted a new CDMA-based HTC smartphone – Iris. As you can see from the image on the left, the device in question looks kinda familiar. Yeah, I’m talking about the phone used for demoing the Android platform. All the buttons are there and also is the screen size.
Apparently, the Iris will come with the EV-DO support, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2 MP camera, microSD memory slot and a very large battery. And even though we hope we’ll see the first device running Google’s mobile OS sooner rather than later, the Iris will most probably run Windows Mobile 6. Still we can hope…
NOTE: We’ve already seen HTC S640 (Iris) passing the FCC hurdle, but that one had a different keypad layout.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
