HTC Line-Up Leaked; We’re Impressed
Without a doubt, the Google Android operating system has truly made its mark on the mobile phone industry. So far, the only OS that is even more used than the Android these days is the Apple iPhone, and there are those who would argue that if the iPhone had an iPhone-Android variant –it would do better than the original.
Anyway, with the XPERIA X10, Motorola Milestone and plenty of other Android devices coming up, it is no wonder that 2010 will be giving us a great big Android fest. HTC will certainly not be behind the times. Not only do they already have the HTC Hero (also, the Hero successor, the HTC Espresso), a recently leaked document shows that HTC has five more Android devices coming up.
They also have three promising Windows Mobile 6.5 devices, but nobody seems to give a hoot. So let’s talk about that later.
Anyway, leading the front of HTC’s new Androids is the HTC Bravo, this spectacular mobile phone brings to you an HD-ready 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen with a built in 5 mega pixel camera that can capture 720p videos. The phone also runs on the high speed Snapdragon 1 GHz processor.
Next are the HTC Buzz and HTC Legend phones. These sport 3.2 inch capacitive touch screens. The Legend also has an AMOLED screen while the Buzz has a standard TFT display. Like the Bravo, they also have 5 mega pixel cameras, but none have HD-quality video recording capabilities.
The HTC Tide and HTC Salsa sport 2.63 inch screens and 3.2 mega pixel cameras. It has not been stated if the phones will have auto-focus or LED flash (the pictures seem to show LED flash at least).
Rounding up the line are three business model WinMo phones. The HTC Photon is a basic touch screen smart phone, the Trophy sports a portrait keyboard and the Tera looks a lot like the N900. They all have business card scanners and use the HTC TouchFlo 3D UI.
