There will be two devices manufactured by former Danger ODM Sharp, the device pictured at right codenamed “Turtle” and another device which will be a horizontal slider codenamed “Pure” with HVGA resolution displays and QWERTY keyboards. The software platform will be based on Windows CE 6.0 and be powered by Nvidia’s Tegra platform.

Verizon will be the exclusive carrier partner for the US version owing to its CDMA EVDO Rev A radios, while Vodafone will be the exclusive international carrier across its network around the world.  Preliminary information suggests an April 20th launch on Verizon with an early summer launch on Vodafone networks around the world.
