It appears that HTC has some major announcement scheduled for their June 5th press event. The event is just days before the Apple iPhone launch, and Engadget Mobile if it isn’t scheduled just to shake up Apple a little.
The invitation shown above is indicative of the lengths HTC is going to for this event – the most PR work HTC has done on for any announcement or launch, so it must be something interesting. The one hint from HTC is that the announcement “heralds a new mobile experience that will change the way we use and control our phones”.

Zenum’s first foray into the Windows Mobile device market is a strong contender on the Smartphone front. While it is only a tri-band GSM device and lacks EDGE or 3G capabilities, the trim unit has a great screen and a good keyboard.
Engadget Mobile believes that CNET UK gave the startup a little too much slack for not getting faster data services in the unit and points out that the device is still 4 months from production. They raise a good point – almost all of Europe and most of the US has 3G services, or EDGE at the very least. So why bring a GSM/GPRS device to market now?
