That's not directly a Microsoft made product, HTC are well known in the market for the manufacture of Windows Mobile powered pda phones. The o2 Orbit is one such example.

Well the HTC bit is just a standard HTC PDA, its the OS (which was mainly developed by MS, that has iphone rivaling intentions) But whatever you want..

The iPhone rivalling features of the phone are the Touch Cube and TouchFLO software both developed by HTC and not Microsoft.

Windows Mobile 6 is the same version found on many new PDA's.

Touch flo is a licenced version of microsoft shift.

It may well be a similar idea but it is not licenced from Microsoft and is been marketed by HTC as a system developed by them alone.

I'm sure many manufacturers have a version of this, it's not exclusive to MS.

In an effort to return the discussion to the phone, HTC have a great looking product there £318 sim free. I still think I'd prefer a real keypad.
