Since 1997, Taiwan-based HTC has been making handsets for mobile carriers under their own labels - until now.
It seems that HTC may be going out on its own with two new handsets - the TyTN and MTeor (yes, the names could use some re-working).
The MTeor is a slim candybar-style smartphone while the TyTN is more tailored to the enterprise crowd (BlackBerry, here we come?) with tri-band UTMS for roaming on the various carriers' networks from GSM to even Wi-Fi.
This looks interesting...

I-mate recently announced the Smartflip Windows Mobile phone with a thin clamshell form factor. Looks like they're targeting the Motorola RAZR.
As with the RAZR, the Smartflip will be a quad-band GSM/GRPS/EDGE phone with the exception that it'll run WM5. It will also have a camera and bluetooth.
It's reportedly 0.6 inches thick and weighs only 3.4 ounces and will be manufactured by HTC but sold under the I-mate brand. Stay tuned for details.

Well, sorry! I didn't have a camera handy as I played around with the new Motorola Moto Q running on Verizon Wireless' network.
My general impression of it was - cool! However, that quickly subsided as I actually picked up the phone and played around with it some more.
Why? Well, first off, the build quality of this phone isn't quite what I'd expected from Motorola...
