HTC Announces TWO new Android Devices and a Windows Phone!
Today at the World Mobile Congress via Press Release, HTC has announced their latest additions to their family of Android and Windows Phone Products.
Their first set of announcements includes updates to their series of HTC Sense UI system for the Android Operating System. The HTC Sense will feature new products such as The HTC Friend Stream, perhaps containing properties similar to those released and announced by Microsoft in their Windows Phone 7 demos.
Along with the updates to HTC Sense comes two new devices, the HTC Legend and HTC Desire. The HTC Legend is a 3.2 inch AMOLED device that is to be built around their HTC Sense Improvements, utilizing an optical joystick, rather a trackball or D-Pad as seen in previous models.
The HTC Desire is intended to be released as a device for a rich multimedia experience in the form of news, videos, friends, and more. It will be built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, to maintain a high level of speed and functionality. It will have multimedia upgrades to allow a better experience on its 3.7 inch AMOLED WVGA resolution screen. It is also announced to be Adobe Flash 10.1 Ready upon release later this year. Both devices are intended for initial release in Europe and Asia, but there are chances these devices will hop across the ocean sometime in the near future!
Lastly, the biggest release on the Windows Phone end of products for HTC and their press release is the HD Mini (Seen above,) an intended sister product to the HD2, which is an announced windows phone 7 capable device.
The HD mini will feature high levels of usability, including HTC SENSE! That's right, HTC intends to keep the ball rolling and include their famous UI system, probably now adhering and collaborating with Microsoft's METRO UI system, which is a standard to their current family of products.
The HD Mini will feature all of the major advantages and releases as announced by Microsoft and their Windows Phone 7 Series, such as pinch to zoom, extreme connectivity to social networking and other products, and have a similar feel and intention like that of the HD2. The HD Mini intends to hit European Markets this April, and perhaps then reach the American shores by X-Mas

Give the HTC Mini a keyboard and trackball/optical navigation and I’m sold.

I don’t think they’d redesign the philosophy of this phone for any market now, It’s what it is.
and that’s to say, It’s a mini, there not much to begin with
Guy who drives a mini cooper might consider getting an HTC HD Mini, maybe..
Ok so this should solve the questions on customizable UI’s for WM7..
hands on over at engadget

Hmm I also like how HTC kept the Call and End buttons as well as flush volume buttons on the side. really dislike the TP2′s extended volume buttons that make it hard to hold and type since the button rest on my finger. Damn HTC devices are looking sexy and sleek still.
are they ever going to release a phone very similar to the touch pro2 with android? i would def buy that phone if i didnt like wm7
Oh I am digging the 3.7 inch display. A keyboard would be nice. They could release in say 3 months. Perfect time to upgrade.

Anyone know where i can get that new wallpaper?
@ faldiin
it’s actually a 3.2″ screen hence the “mini”
