    IMO 200 MHz processor can not handle GPS.

    Dont be fooled by 200 MHz, this is a 32 bit dual core handheld processor.

    Will this be sold as an HTC product or is it a white-label product which will come out under another name?

    yeah, but dual core does not always mean twice as fast, software will only utilise the dual cores if it has been written with dual core in mind, meaning software written prior to the chips release will run roughly at the same speed as they would on the single core chip with that same clock speed

    p.s. does anyone know if the phone will have a macro function ?

    This is +very+ close to the device I want - I was on deck to buy an 8125, but it lacked native GPS (outboard Bluetooth isn’t a huge deal, but it seems simple to integrate).

    Any word on a “slide-out” keyboard version (ala, 8125) with all the same features (2MP cam, 11G, etc.)

    Thanks -

    DT
