There seems to be a few HTC rumours around this week with the latest one being that HTC are working on the HTC Touch Pro3 with a tentative launch date of this summer.
The rumoured information comes from the XDA Developers forums where the information says the device will be smaller and slimmer than the Touch Pro2 (pictured above).
Other than that there is no other information other than it could possibly run Windows Phone 7 Series (assuming it meets the criteria). [click to continue…]
We learned recently that the HTC HD2 is not going to be getting a Windows Phone 7 Series upgrade. Instead we are now hearing that HTC are actually working on a new phone called the HTC HD3 that is in response to the requirements set out by Microsoft [MSFT] in that it needs three primary buttons on the front along with a certain processor and graphical capabilities.
The HTC HD3 supposedly will come with a new Snapdragon processor that runs at 1.5GHz built by Qualcomm and will have 1GB of RAM.
As well as the above the HTC will also get a high resolution 4.5 inch AMOLED multi-touch screen that has an impressive 1,280 x 800 pixels along with an 8 megapixel camera (dual-flash), 1080p HD playback and 720p video recording. A HDMI output has also been rumoured. [click to continue…]
The HTC Touch Pro2 is a Windows Mobile device that you’d normally expect to be running Windows Mobile. The XDAndroid project was designed for Window Mobile devices to run Android. Pocket Now have tested by running Android on their Touch Pro2 device and the results are so far, quite amazing.
There are a few things that don’t currently work which includes Bluetooth, GPS and a few other things, but generally it works well and allows Android to run quite smoothly on the device. Features that are seen working in the video Pocket Now created (embedded below) show calls being made, text messages being sent and received as well as the browser functioning with the data connection. All apps that were loaded on to it worked well although a couple were a little laggy, but not far from being fixed. [click to continue…]
HTC have also announced the HTC Desire today. Also, Orange UK have announced that they will be rolling the phone out over here in the UK.
The HTC Desire is another Android based phone. It runs the Android 2.1 OS and is powered by a Snapdragon 1GHz processor from Qualcomm.
The HTC Desire is 3G+ enabled allowing it to connect at the fastest speeds possible on Orange’s network. Other features on the phone include a GPS sensor, a gravity sensor, digital compass, 512MB of memory that can be expanded with up to a 32GB microSD card.
The screen on the HTC Desire measures 3.7 inches and is in WVGA format. The screen is capacitive and has an anti-fingerprint screen coating to prevent marks saying on the screen that normally plague touchscreen devices. [click to continue…]
Bear with us for the next 30 minutes or so as several new handsets have been announced over at MWC, three of which are from HTC although this first one is an LG handset. First off is the LG Mini GD880 which claims to be the worlds first 3 way sync feature phone… we’ll explain what that means shortly.
The LG GD880 Mini is a phone measuring just 10.6mm in depth and weighs just 99 grams. The LG 3-Way Sync service is called LG Air Sync and allows mobile phones to sync continuously with their home computer so that when data is uploaded to one device, it is automatically backed up on the other device over the internet. Files that could be included in the LG Air Sync are photos, video clips, phone books, celendars to name a few.
“We live in an information-oriented society with vast amounts of data and content scattered all over the place. Because of this, one of the major battles in the future mobile market is likely to be in the data management technology industry, focusing on seamless access among different devices,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We have developed the LG Mini, which offers technological integration with its unique LG Air Sync service, in response to this trend.”
T-Mobile have officially announced that the HTC HD2 is heading to their network in the US. Rather than being a traditional HD2 branded by a carrier, this particular model will have what T-Mobile call “a never-before-seen mobile experience” to those in the US.
What that means is subscribers to T-Mobile who pick up a HD2 will have access to several entertainment features that are pre-installed on the device. This includes a Barnes & Noble eReader that gives you access to more than a million eBooks, newspapers, magazines etc…
Blockbuster on Demand is also pre-installed and allows users to download movies on to their phone. MobiTV is also included that installed that brings a number of channels including MTV, NBC, Comedy Central and ESPN to the HD2. [click to continue…]
The HTC Legend has been snapped a few times before and here we find another picture of it, but this time the picture also was sent with a number of specs to let us know exactly what will be included with the phone.
The Legend looks to have an aluminium casing that wraps around the edges of the phone. The smartphone has a 3.2 inch HVGA AMOLED capacitive touchscreen and the phone is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7227 processor that runs at 600MHz.
Other features include a fairly decent five megapixel camera that uses an LED flash to light subjects. For connectivity it has Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and WiFi. [click to continue…]
As expected, Google have announced the Nexus One officially at the press event held a couple of hours ago. The Nexus One is a phone developed in close partnership with HTC and is described by Google as being in a new category called Superphones.
All the leaked specs we found were also true in that the phone has a 1GHz Snapdragon processor along with 512MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM. The screen is a very impressive (and labelled by a reviewer as the best screen ever) measuring 3.7 inches and runs at a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. For storage it uses a microSD card slot that is capable of accepting cards up to 32GB in capacity.
The Nexus One runs the Android 2.1 OS which is Googles latest Android OS. The camera on the back of the phone is capable of capturing images at 5 megapixels and an LED flash can also be found to light up nearby subjects. Other features include a proximity sensor, GPS, compass and an accelerometer. [click to continue…]
Tablets are getting a lot of mention these last months with mentions of the JooJoo and the Apple iSlate recently. Of course Google can’t be left behind in all the fun and information has now leaked saying that both Google and HTC are working together (for the last 18 months) on a Google Chrome OS tablet device.
The source actually mentions that Google have collaborated with HTC on a few test models with one of them running Chrome OS and perhaps the others running Android. [click to continue…]
A few days ago we mentioned the HTC Espresso was spied with some updated Sense UI features. The images of the ROM showed some new buttons that had translucent backgrounds along with a bit more integration with contacts.
A video has now been revealed showing the ROM in action that is running on a HTC Hero. Although it does look like quite a nice ROM the main problems I see on the video is the lack of response to the user touching the screen and a bit of lag with things loading up. One thing to note though is that it is running on different hardware to what it was designed to run on, so perhaps with some tweaks to the ROM things will function at a decent speed.

A bunch of cloned phones exist around the world, usually being created in the same country. The next on the list is called MyTough 3G that is built to look just like a MyTouch 3G. The original real phone is actually an Android based phone built by HTC whereas the MyTough is a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone built by another company.
Features of the phone include all the standard stuff such as Wifi and Bluetooth. It is unknown if it has GPS although it would surprise me if it didn’t. [click to continue…]
Over on XDA developers there’s an interesting thread that reveals upcoming phones for the 1st half of next year. Included in the set of phones are five Android based phones along with three devices running Windows Phone. Pocketnow wonder why only 3 windows phone’s were only mentioned and suggest it could be related to a second half 2010 release of Windows Mobile 7.
From the XDA thread we read that HTC has four categories of phone which includes Design / Lifestyle, Social, Performance, Productivity.
Two phones listed in this category which are the HTC Legend and HTC Salsa.
The social category also brings two phones which are called the HTC Tide and HTC Buzz.
The performance category gets one phone called the HTC Bravo.
The final category called Productivity gets three phones called the HTC Photon, HTC Trophy and HTC Tera. [click to continue…]
The HTC HD2 was recently launched on to the Vodafone network in the UK costing nothing on a £35/month plan and above. O2 have now started selling the HD2 and offering it for free, but for £45 on their network. The contract might be £10/month more expensive, but the more expensive contract only ties you down to 18 months rather than the 24 months of the Vodafone contract.
The phone it’s self has a very large 4.3 inch touchscreen and the HD2 runs the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system that runs HTC’s own custom Sense UI which actually makes WM6.5 quite good from what reports say. [click to continue…]
Vodafone [VOD] have launched the much anticipated HTC HD2 on to their network in the UK, and good news is that if your willing to spend £35/month on a 2 year contract, you can pick it up for free.
The 35/month 2 year contract also entitles you to 900 minutes of free calls to landlines and other mobile networks along with unlimited internet access.
The main feature of the HTC HD2 is that it has a large 4.3 inch capacitive touchscreen along with a 1GHz SnapDragon processor that allows it to work very smoothly. HTC decided to go with Windows Mobile 6.5 on the HD2 although they also have installed the HTC Sense UI hiding some of the frustrations that Windows Phone operating systems bring.

Verizon have officially announced that they will be offering the HTC DROID Eris and that it will be launched tomorrow on their network. The DROID Eris is another version of the HTC Hero and has a 3.2 inch capacitive touchscreen along with a 5 megapixel camera, EVDO Rev.A and it uses the HTC Sense user interface.
For storage the HTC Eris has a microSD card slot with an 8GB microSD card being provided in the box. The phone unfortunately does not run the Android 2.0 operating system which of course means it will lack the fancy new Google Maps Navigation that the Motorola DROID will be getting.
