Vodafone has had a lot of coverage over the past few days, though perhaps a little prematurely for its liking: since a presentation detailing the upcoming 2008 UK lineup was leaked, there are few secrets left in their corporate cupboard.  We’ve already discussed some of the more interesting models - Blackberry’s new 8000-series smartphone (possibly called the 8920), Nokia’s QWERTY-blessed ‘Liam’ E71 and ‘Dora’ super-slider, the imageless Palm ‘Drucker’ and the bland Palm ‘Wanda’ that so incensed Vincent - but there are a few left over.  For the sake of completeness, may we present the HP Oak, HP Silver and ODM v16xx.

Details on all three handsets, together with the 2008 roadmaps themselves, after the cut

Of the three, the HP Oak is the most interesting: full 7.2Mbps HSDPA/HSUPA as well as WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and both a numeric keypad for speedy dialling and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for messaging.  The Oak runs Windows Mobile 6 Professional, has a touchscreen of as-yet unconfirmed size or resolution (please let it be at least VGA!) and ambitious battery life ratings of up to 3.5hrs talking/360hrs standby from a 1010mAh power pack.  In fact, the only really disappointing thing about the Oak is the September 2008 release date, when it’s estimated to cost £260 ($513).

HP have also given the Oak a smaller, WM6 Standard sibling, the Silver.  Available before the Oak, in July, though for almost the same price, the Silver uses RIM’s SureType keyboard where two letters share space on each button and a predictive dictionary works out what you’re trying to write.  It too has 7.2Mbps HSDPA/HSUPA, WiFi and GPS, as well as the same battery pack, but the display is QVGA (320 x 240).

If both the HP models run a little rich for you, the mid-tier ODM v16xx might tick the right boxes; priced at around £120 ($237), it lacks the HSDPA high-speed data connection (making do with a 2.5G tri-band chip) and WiFi but still has GPS, a full QWERTY keyboard, QVGA (320 x 240) touchscreen and somewhat paltry 1.3-megapixel camera.

Finally, there’s also a mysterious Windows Mobile Tablet with HSDPA and GPS mentioned on the roadmap as launching midway through Q2, which The Boy Genius reckons is Vodafone’s version of the HTC Shift.

Massive hat-tip to The Boy Genius, who as ever astounds with their ability to ‘acquire’ and liberate confidential information.
