I guess you have already noticed the latest trend on the technology related blogs and websites. If you haven't, let me point it out to you: as a direct result to the launch-mania taking place at 3GSM, most of them just couldn't keep up and just gave up looking for the releases that took place without the 3GSM bells and the whistles.

Such a case is HTC's P3400 handheld, a device that slipped silently on the mobile market just like a ninja in the dark.

I don't know why HTC decided it doesn't deserve a place on the catwalk near its other three siblings just launched at the 3GSM fair (the Vox, the Advantage and the Love handsets) but it could be because the P3400 doesn't have any out of the ordinary features: no special skills nobody has ever before seen and no design that could leave mouth open and wondering around all day with nothing else on your mind.

Its specifications sheet mentions a Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, a 2.8 inch TFT LCD QVGA touchscreen display with a 240x320 pixels resolution, quad-band GSM/GRPS/EDGE radios, a 2 megapixel digital camera, 5-way navigation pad, Microsoft's Windows Media Player Mobile, wireless Bluetooth 2.0 with stereo A2DP profile, HTC's ExtUSB cable for PC connectivity, 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM memory, SDIO/MMC memory expansion card slot and Direct Push technology.

That wasn't very out of the ordinary was it? Probably that's the reason some people just went straight over it and headed over more interesting subjects and stories.

But who knows, it may just have the thing to make it a best seller anyway and in case it does, I wrote about it, didn't I? :)
