14 DAY TRIAL // The HTC Willow has been spotted quite a few times before wandering in the wild, and now it is time for some more photos of it to surface, showing it in action. The handset is the Sprint-branded CDMA version of Snap, or the S511 that has already been rumored to come to the market.
What the HTC Willow for Sprint brings is a 528MHz Qualcomm processor, 256 megabytes of ROM and 128 RAM, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, and a 2-megapixel photo snapper. The device also includes the Inner Circle button that HTC announced that would come with the Snap. One thing that seems not to be to the phone's advantage is its screen, which seems to be smaller than expected.
On the other hand, the Windows Mobile handset comes with a QWERTY keyboard, while also being reported to include a powerful battery, 1500mAh, which should provide enough power for long usage. According to an OrionsBuckle user from PPCGeeks, the guy who posted the pictures, the HTC Willow is expected to be released on Sunday, June 7, the usual launch day for Sprint, while sporting a price tag of around $149.
In related news, we learn that another HTC-made mobile phone, the Magic, which is the second handset in the world to feature Google's Android operating system, will become available in Taiwan starting tomorrow, May 15, featuring a price tag of $640 without a contract.
In addition, one of the most interesting facts about the phone is that it is reported to come to the market with a Black cover, while also sporting a possible custom Red border. As many of you might already know, the first Android phone, the HTC Dream, was available in two colors, white and black, and the HTC Magic was expected to feature both color options as well.
