At the forum of MyPDACafe.com you can come across photos of the O2 Mars communicator, which is not yet officially announced. With its design and specs it looks like O2 Xda trion (another implementation of HTC Hermes platform), however there are some differences.

The preliminary specs of O2 Mars:

• Operating system Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone
• Sliding QWERTY-keyboard
• 2-megapixel camera (without macro mode)
• Processor Intel 512 MHz
• GSM, GPRS, EDGE and UMTS (no support of HSDPA)
• 64 MB RAM and 128 MB flash ROM
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
• Slot for miniSD cards

Thus the differences are as follows: the lack of HSDPA high speed data transfer standard, other CPU (Intel 512 MHz, instead of Samsung 400 MHz), the miniSD slot instead of microSD.
