Verizon’s matching AT&T tit-for-tat in the race to get the first Windows Mobile 6.5 devices out of the door with the launch of the HTC Imagio, a phone that essentially amounts to a more deluxe version of the Touch Diamond2 with a larger screen, 3.5mm headphone jack, combo CDMA and GSM radios (both with 3G) for global roaming, and a FLO TV tuner to support Verizon’s VCAST TV service. We’ve had just a few brief moments to play with the Imagio so far, but after coming from the Pure — the AT&T-branded model that we used to compile our initial impressions of WinMo 6.5 — it’s a real treat. It looks and feels like a higher-end device thanks to a proliferation of soft-touch plastic (as opposed to the Pure’s glossy cover) and the kickstand is a cute touch, perfect for when you’ve got a few minutes to kill and you want to fire up the FLO-powered tube.
