The photo below is showing us a list of the HTC current smartphones, but what make it differences is the 3 unknown smartphone at the lower row. If this picture is not fake, you might be seeing this at the coming HTC special event on May 6th in London, UK.

Some suggests that the new devices are having the same hardware design, but different in QWERTY keyboard hardware in the slider body.

The FCC, a treasure trove of unannounced but pending handsets, has revealed that the HTC Touch Dual, headed to the U.S. market, comes complete with the addition of support for AT&T's 3G HSDPA network.
Read the full story here.

The HTC Touch Dual Neon300 was just spotted on FCC’s website. The new handset features a 400Mhz processor, 2.6 inch touchscreen display, 256MB ROM/128MB RAM, Bluetooth 2.0, and microSD card slot - all powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.

Basically, the HTC Touch Dual Neon300 is just an upgrade to the original HTC Touch (which is already available through several US carriers). This particular model will also work well in the US with it’s HSDPA 850/1900Mhz frequency bands. No word yet if any carrier will pick this up, release date or pricing. Stay tuned for more details.

The T-Mobile HTC Shadow II has surfaced. The T-Mobile HTC Shadow II is a smoother, shinier successor to the original Shadow. Besides the sleek new look, it is also going to come with MyFaves & HotSpot@Home support - meaning Wi-Fi.

The T-Mobile HTC Shadows II’s Wi-Fi support would make it the first Windows Mobile handset to run on T-Mobile’s HotSpot@Home network. The rounded edges and very shiny exterior of the T-Mobile HTC Shadow II are pretty, but it may create some smudging problems. Check back soon for more details.

PhoneArena reviews the HTC Touch Cruise: “The HTC Touch Cruise will provide a reliable and precise navigation when needed. Aside from that, you will make and receive calls with a very good sound quality, no matter in which country you are. The device can be operated single-handedly -thanks to the TouchFlo 2.0 technology and the rotating 4-way D-pad. In contrast to Artemis, which didn’t have 3G support, HTC Touch Cruise has a tri-band one, meaning that even if you are in an area with no WiFi coverage, you will still be able to reply to an important e mail, for example. If you are on the market for PocketPC with a built-in GPS, take a look at the HTC Touch Cruise, and if not, consider TyTN II from the same manufacturer.”

Today the Verizon Wireless version of the HTC Touch goes on sale. The device, known as the XV6900, has an auto-focus camera in it according to the press release. AF is something that the previous Touch versions have lacked. Update: The Verizon press release was wrong, there is no AF.

HTC’s Shadow 2 is sleeker than its predecessor or, for that matter, any HTC phone in recent memory (check out the ones we have in our archive).

The first HTC Shadow was not a bad slider, but after its initial stint in the rumor mill before launch the Shadow’s desirability fizzled right after launch. We have no idea why. Our expert’s page give us an above-average rating of the Shadow. Maybe it’s the Windows Mobile operating system. Maybe it’s the lackluster feature set. It has WiFi, but the lack of 3G and an average camera made sure it wouldn’t make it into people’s must-haves gadget list.

The second-generation Shadow may not have 3G as well. Rumored features such as MyFaves and Hotspot@Home is definitely good news. Best feature of the Shadow 2 in my book? The Palm Centro-like design. Though Shadow 2 will probably have a bigger form factor,, not to mention the additional slide-out keypad, it’s to date HTC’s sleekest handset.

HTC is auctioning off HTC Touches with unique one-of-a-kind designs. The sales are all going to the Children’s Cancer Foundation. Unfortunately only Singaporeans could purchase the phones, which are being auctioned off at eBay. The Green bamboo-themed one is now going for $302, while the Red one is going for just a little over $100. Chances are, you’d get this phone cheaper in a charity auction than on a store.

The auction will end April 19 and if you’re in Singapore at around that time, do place a bid. If you can get the blue one for less than $300, I’d be happy to round off the number for you.

It is bleedingly obvious that touch interfaces are the in thing for the mobile industry these days, and rightly so. Adding intuitive touch elements to the user interface of a device can make it a lot easier to use, and when it is done right, it can make the device more accessible for users from beginner to advanced. As with its older brother, the HTC Touch, the new HTC Touch Dual takes the proven Windows Mobile 6 formula and bolts-on elements to make navigating with a finger far easier. What di

If you’ve been thinking about picking up an HTC Touch but have held off because the design is just too sober, think again: the company has collaborated with Nicholas designer Nic Wong to create four limited editions of the smartphone.  Ranging from the subtle (a powder-blue Anaglypta-style design) to the strident (crazed red and white triangles), each handset is unique as in one-of-a-kind.  All proceeds from the four sales - which are taking place on eBay - will go to the Children’s Cancer Foundation.

Now for the bad news: if you’re not in Singapore, forget about bidding.  Sadly HTC are only willing to ship to addresses there, so if you fancy a unique Touch in your own country you’ll have to pester them to come to a similar arrangement wherever it is you live.  Still, I wonder if the eventual buyers can write off the cost as a charitable donation?

With the auctions ending on April 19th, as of writing the bids are just kicking off: the cheapest is at 1.05 Singapore dollars ($0.78) while the highest bid is 151 Singapore dollars ($111.49).

MobileBurn reviews the HTC Touch Dual: “The HTC Touch Dual still might not be ideal for road warriors looking to get through vast amounts of email or editing of documents (though the SureType-esque semi-QWERTY version goes far to help here), the addition of a keypad makes the HTC Touch Dual much more usable overall.

Another gripe we had with the original was its lack of 3G data, which again the HTC Touch Dual has addressed. This is offset, however, by the removal of WiFi access. For users that are predominately in 3G areas, this may be the perfect trade-off, but personally I don’t think this really helps the situation from the original.

Looking past those two areas, the HTC Touch Dual maintains all the things that made the original great, including the easy to use touch scrolling and menu, the intelligent touch screen to make small items easier to hit, and the great foundation of Windows Mobile 6.

There is nothing about the HTC Touch Dual that would prevent me from giving it a Highly Recommended rating. It is everything that was wonderful about the original and then some.”

HTC have just announced a special event to be held on May 6th in London, UK.  Since the tagline for the event is “Witness the next wave of HTC Innovation”, the general assumption is that it’s the official launch of HTC’s smartphones based on Google’s Android platform.  HTC have already committed to a mid-2008 release for handsets using Android (rather than HTC’s usual OS partner, Windows Mobile).

The HTC Dream has been long speculated as the company’s first offering running Android; it’s rumored to include many features already seen on the iPhone, such as full touchscreen interface and onscreen keyboard.  It’s predicted to measure 5-inches long and 3-inches wide. The picture below was shown in a BBC video as a prototype, and has been undergoing tests at Google.  Right now, this device is the closest thing we have to what the Dream phone looks like:

HTC revealed on March 24 (Monday), it will make the CDMA/EV-DO variant of the HTC Shift available for purchase through Amazon.com and its webpage HTC.com. Amazon has already listed it for pre-ordering, at the modest price of $1 499. This variant uses Sprint’s network for access to Internet, but keep in mind that it is an UMPC and not a phone, and cannot be used as one straight out of the box. However, running a full version of Windows Vista, it may be a brilliant ‘accessory’ for your phone,

As soon as Google announced its upcoming smartphone operating system Android, HTC, which already builds many Windows Mobile smartphones, announced that it would create an Android handset. The HTC Dream is now rumored to be that handset.
Read the full story here.

High Technology Corporation (HTC) is planning to release the first cell phone built around Google’s Android OS later this year, according to an article from the IDG News Service.

The HTC “Dream” will be a smartphone with a large touchscreen, full QWERTY keypad, measures five inches long and three inches wide, will slide or swivel and be built entirely around the much anticipated Android operating system.

Rumors indicate that Samsung is also in the advanced stages of bringing its own Android powered device to market.

HTC and Samsung are two of more than 30 members of the Google-founded Open Handset Alliance (OHA), an organization whose mission is to accelerate innovation in mobile technology, in large part through the use of the Android OS.

The HTC Dream Android phone rumors have surfaced again. The HTC Dream is supposed to be the first Android running handset released to the public. A person close to the situation recently told InfoWorld that this handset is indeed scheduled to be the first Android phone to debut, acknowledging rumors of the new cell phone.

“The HTC Dream Android phone is said to measure 3-inches wide by 5-inches long and feature a full QWERTY keypad that either slides out or swivels.” If the HTC Dream is indeed the first handset to be running Google’s Android, we would expect it to have tremendous specs - making Android look good.

When the HTC Shift UMPC was first announced so long ago several innovations really got the tech world buzzing. First was the form factor as the Shift was so thin and light in its closed state. The device was barely bigger than the 7-inch screen and less than an inch thick which makes it one of the smallest UMPCs with that size screen. Then there was the unique sliding function that exposed a nice QWERTY keyboard when you slid the screen up. The screen could then be tilted up and forward tu

It’s very long time I never review about HTC and now they will be launch HTC Advantage X7510 which is expected on March 2008. Maybe some of you have been saw HTC Advantage is look similar with T-Mobile Ameo aka Athena last year but it’s different people.

HTC Advantage is much bigger rather than mobile phone and HTC rework and upgrade and come with new model. Come with Windows Mobile 6 plus TouchFLO interface used on HTC Touch. What Windows Mobile for iPhone generation, with an improved interface and much higher user experience, and you may see what Microsoft is rumoured that work.

Advantage HTC X7510 measures 133 x 98 x 21mm and weighs 375 grams with the keyboard. Taking away the keyboard removed 85 grams of weight and 5mm thick. Most of the size of the new Advantage is taken up by the 5 “640 x 480 pixels, and of course the large QWERTY keyboard.

Internal storage is a huge 16 GB of flash memory (the old Advantage had an 8GB hard drive), and this can be extended by using microSD cards. On the back is a 3.1 ...

MobileTech reviews the HTC Shift: “The HTC Shift is certainly one of the best UMPCs we’ve seen to date with a large display and usable keyboard. Ultra-mobile computers are highly personal devices, so we can’t say the HTC Shift is for you: if you want a near notebook replacement with a display that’s easy on the eyes, a relatively good typing experience and wide area networking via cellular then the HTC is a good fit. If you want something that will fit in an oversized pocket rather than a notebook substitute, consider the significantly smaller OQO model 02 or Sony Vaio UX (or the Fujitsu U810 as a compromise between the two). We say that the HTC Shift has the best usability of any UMPC thanks to its very readable display, finger-friendliness and top-notch keyboard. The integrated high speed wide area networking is perfect for those whose travels extend beyond hotspots and home/work networks and there’s WiFi for home/work/Starbucks. Bluetooth 2.0 means you can use Bluetooth mice, stereo headsets and more so you need not carry the USB hub with you.”

QWERTY keypad is nothing new, but there’s always a room for innovation and HTC is trying to prove it. They have filed a patent of a new type of qwerty slider which when closed will serve as a numeric keypad. The following images will prove what its gonna look like. Even though the patented design looks really innovative (slide out for normal qwerty keypad and close it just for numeric keypad) but I dont think HTC need to go for that. Touchscreen phones with a qwerty keypad make them really b
