HTC IrisThe FTC (Federal Communications Commission) has inadvertently revealed some tantalising information about HTC’s new Windows Mobile smartphone, the 'Iris'.

The Iris’s design is a departure from HTC’s current range of devices and is similar in design to both RIM’s BlackBerry 8000 series and Palm's 680 and 700 smartphones, the Iris has a Qwerty keyboard on its bottom half and a 2.4in 320 x 240 screen at the top.

According to the FCC documents, the phone has CDMA850/CDMA1900/1x-EVDO, 802.11g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, along with a 2-megapixel camera and built-in GPS.

There’s no news on UK availability yet, but HTC tends to launch new devices in Europe at the same time, if not before, the US. HTC has apparently asked the FCC to keep some details of this smartphone confidential until September 17, which suggests that a launch date isn’t too far away.
