HTC Prepping Sequel to RAZR-Thin Star Trek Smartphone

Today arrives word (and a picture), courtesy of the Internet rumor mill, that Taiwanese original design manufacturer High Tech Computer (HTC) is planning to follow up the Star Trek, available in U.S. since September from Cingular as the 3125, with a similar-looking model that adds - at the least - a GPS (global positioning system) chip to the current device's mix of features.

Star Trek is perhaps the thinnest and most RAZR-like Windows Mobile Smartphone currently on the market. The flip phone, which has received kudos from most quarters, debuted in Asia and is also available in Europe under a variety of banners.

Because it’s so earlier, nothing else is really known about this smartphone, other than its possible codename: Erato.

We can speculate, however, that Erato may add a higher resolution camera than the Star Trek's 1.3 megapixel type; high-speed 3G HTMS/HSPDA cellular data networking (the current model tops out 2.5G EDGE technology; and, just maybe, Microsoft's next-generation mobile operating system codenamed Crossbow.

Among other improvements, Crossbow is supposed to deliver the ability to edit – and not just view - Microsoft Office documents on a Windows Mobile Smartphone for the first time.
