The Traveler 137 will be available sometime in the first quarter of 2009 with a MSRP of US$599.95. This actually appears to be about the price you would expect for a device with all of these features and functions. Specifications of the Traveler 137 include:
- Qualcomm MSM7201A 65nm 528MHz Processor
- 3.5” WVGA 480 x 800, 65K color TFT LCD with touch panel
- 256MB RAM and 512MB flash ROM
- Tri-band AWS 1700/1900/2100 MHz, UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA: 384K/7.2M/2M bits per sec
- Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, GSM/GPRS/EDGE
- Built-in GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM radio
- 3MP camera for picture or video; 0.3MP front camera for video conference
- microSD card slot
- Talk time: up to 4 hours; 200 hours of standby with 1380 mAh Li-Ion battery
A couple things I don't like about the device are the lack of a standard 3.5mm headset jack and the rather short talk time of 4 hours. The device looks like a direct competitor to the HTC Touch HD, which is priced about US$150 more and does not support US 3G wireless bands.
