HTC’s P5500 ‘Nike’ slated for September launch?

Filed under: Cellphones

Although the most recent hunch about a handset release did indeed prove true, we’re not so sure about these HTC claims. DigiTimes has it that High Tech Computer is “expected to launch its second touchscreen-controlled smartphone supporting a 3.5G standard perhaps as soon as September,” and while it didn’t confirm, the site did insinuate that the mobile in question is the P5500 “Nike.” Additionally, the rumors suggested that the phone will be “built using a CPU from Samsung and chipsets from Qualcomm,” while also supporting W-CDMA. Of note, these same “sources” claimed that a device codenamed Vogue would be hitting North, Central, and South American shores, and we certainly can’t find any room to argue with that.
