The teaser shot of the keyboard on Voda’s site might not be very revealing, but hey, we’ve got plenty of evidence lined up to know pretty much what’s in store for Vodafone customers come September 12 either way. Businessfolk on the carrier’s UK site are now being encouraged to preorder the device, which will be “using Vodafone’s high-speed 3G network” humming along atop Windows Mobile 5.2. The remainder of the spec sheet (if accurate) is nothing we couldn’t have guessed, suggesting a 1.3-megapixel cam (we’ve heard 2 megapixels thrown around; we’ll see), Bluetooth, and that fabulous HSDPA radio, though there’s no mention of WiFi — potentially a deal breaker for some. And for the record, yes, we’re figuring that if they panned up on that annoying teaser shot, there’d be no external antenna in sight.

Vodafone’s tapped Toshiba to bring its latest music-oriented flip to market, answering the call with the TS808 shown off at IFA this week. The phone can’t exactly be billed as high-end, sporting only a 1.3-megapixel cam and a meager 10MB of internal memory, but a miniSD slot helps restore some semblance of meaning to the external music controls and generously sized external display. Integrated stereo speakers, and of course, Bluetooth are also along for the ride on the phone, which is expected to launch on Voda-owned Swisscom Mobile this month.

Cingular may still be playing dumb about its next-gen Treo launch plans — but Vodafone and their partner network in Singapore, M1, are happy to share theirs. It turns out that M1 will be launching the Windows Mobile-powered 750v in October of this year, 3G data and all, which could ultimately make it just the second launch for the stubless Treo globally (after Vodafone proper). This all depends, of course, on whether Cingular wants to get off its hindquarters and kick things into high gear; we’re not holding our breath, so enjoy your 15 seconds of fame, M1.
