The HTC PDA phones are Windows Mobile 2003, 5.0 or 6.0 which have a display resolution of 240x320.  By default they do not come Java enabled, but IBM provides a JVM which will run J2ME applications.  Theoretically any phone that has a 240x320 resolution, a JVM and networking capabilities can run the Mobla Poker application.

Overview

The HTC Apache is the base model for many phones like:

• PPC 6700 (UTStarcom / Sprint)
• XV6700

And should be compatible with the HTC Wizard which is the base model for: 

• Qtek 9100
• Cingular 8100 / 8125
• T-Mobile MDA (U.S.) or MDA Vario (International)
• Dopod 838
• i-mate K-JAM
• O2 XDA mini Pro
• XDA mini S
• Orange SPV M3000
• Vodafone VPA II compact

An HTC Harrier (Audiovox/UTStarcom PPC-6600, XV6600 and i-Mate PDA2k EVDO) was also tested and worked fine.  The Harrier is the CDMA version of the HTC Blue Angel (Qtek 9090, O2 Xda IIs (UK and Ireland), O2 Xda III (Germany), T-Mobile MDA III, i-mate PDA2k, Orange SPV M2000, Siemens SX66, E-plus PDA III and Vodafone VPA III) so it should work as well.

The HTC Hermes is the latest in this line of phones will work: 

• HTC TyTN (HERM 200)
• T-Mobile MDA Vario II (HERM 300)
• O2 Xda Trion (HERM 100)
• Cingular 8525
• Dopod 838 Pro
• i-mate JASJAM
• Orange SPV M3100
• NTT DoCoMo hTc Z
