Msmobiles.com has some real-life photos of the HTC Hermes in action. The one thing that stood out from our previous news is the photo of the jog wheel (!) which could be a god-send. It can act as a scrolling wheel/enter button, familiar to users of RIM’s BlackBerry devices.
It supports HSPDA and UMTS, and has two cameras — one front-facing
that is aimed for video conferencing use. This is everything I wanted
in the Wizard and more! The heart of the unit is a Samsung 300MHz
processor, which (rumor has it) is faster than Intel’s 416MHz
processor.

processor, which (rumor has it) is faster than Intel’s 416MHz
processor.
Will be strongly considering this device, but the following are my concerns:
- Will the photo camera’s quality be equal-to or better than my HTC Prophet? We’ve seen that the Prophet’s camera is better than the Wizard.
- Will it really have A2DP out of the box?
Estimated release date is July 2006.
Update: the::unwired has posted some nice photos of the Hermes as well from CeBIT 2006 :
