Americans can finally look forward to the release of the HTC Star Trek (aka: Qtek 8500, I-Mate Smartflip, etc.) as the FCC has approved the Star Trek for sale in the United States. Take a look at Arne' previous review of this phone, and these comparisons to other devices.

The HTC Star Trek is a revolutionary design in Windows Mobile Smartphones. Not only is it one of the few clamshell designs, it is the only "slim" clamshell design out there. See Arne's comparison pics above to see the Star Trek next to the Razr.

Rumor has it that the Star Trek will be coming to Cingular this fall.
