HTC has announced quite a few new Android devices coming out later this year. There’s even a couple that have a dedicated Facebook button (I know, I don’t see the point either since you just need to put a shortcut on your homescreen, but whatever works). There’s the HTC Salsa, ChaCha, Desire S, Incredible S, and Wildfire S. There’s even a tablet, the HTC Flyer.
First up is the HTC Salsa. Here’s the demo video:
600MHz processor
3.4-inch touchscreen with 480 x 320 resolution
512MB internal storage
512MB RAM
Bluetooth 3.0
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
micro-USB
5MP camera with auto focus and flash
VGA front camera
microSD
1520mAh battery
HSPA/WCDMA 900/2100MHz
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:850/900/1800/1900
The HTC ChaCha (sorry, no video of this one):
![]()
600MHz
2.6-inch touchscreen with 480 x 320 resolution
512MB ROM
512MB RAM
Rear 5MP camera with auto focus and LED flash
VGA front camera
1250mAh battery
microSD
Bluetooth 3.0
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
micro-USB
HSPA/WCDMA 900/2100 MHz
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Then we have the HTC Desire S:
This phone will have a 3.7″ WVGA display, 1GHz Snapdragon processor and rear and front-facing cameras.
Next is the HTC Wildfire S:
This phone is probably an entry-level Android phone. It features a 3.2″screen with a resolution of 320×480, 600MHz processor and 512MB of ROM/RAM.
The HTC Incredible S:
This phone has a 4″ WVGA Super LCD display, 8MP rear camera with dual LED flash, a front-facing camera, a 1GHz processor, 768Mb of RAM, and a 1450mAh battery.
And finally the HTC Flyer:
This is a 7″ touchscreen with a stylus…yes, we said a stylus, although they call it a Scribe pen. It has an aluminum unibody shell and a 1.5GHz processor. It won’t ship with Honeycomb, but it looks like there will be an update available at a later date.
UPDATE: HTC also launched a 1.5GHz, 7-inch Android 2.4 Tablet
What sticks out to us about this tablet is that it will have Android 2.4 over Honeycomb. Rumor was Sense wasn’t going to be put on this device, but HTC has put a different version of Sense in it actually. Some other features include a 1.5GHz single-core CPU, 1GB of RAM plus 32GB of flash storage, an aluminum unibody construction, 1024 x 600 resolution and of course the tablet-optimized version of Sense.

So do any of these phones catch your interest? What do you think about the tablet compared to the other ones on the market already?

Boring, nothing here really excites me. The htc flyer did kind of caught my eye slightly though and I would have a phone like the next htc incredible would have a little bit of umph instead of being a mytouch4g with a 4″ screen. Come htc, where are all your highend stuff that will compete with motorola, samsung and lg?
meant to say I would have thought(in the second sentence). We need an edit button for when we post on the home page…
QQ the days of htc being awesome are over. complete and total epic fail
HTC was never known for “top end” hardware >.>..they were just known for being “the only hardware choice you had”..
I find this sad for 2 reason..
1) obviously the hardware is pathetic…on the phones and on the tablet
2) HTC finds it more important to give us Sense rather then the latest software…and at same time shatters the possibility of ever having an ASOP experience from HTC :/
—
oh and can anyone see a Samsung vs HTC lawsuit..on that “S” thing >.>
LOL @ the phone with the highest specs having the lowest batt capacity.
Crappy, crappier and crappiest! I’ve lost all hope for a good phone from HTC anytime soon…
I like the 2nd Tablet….
and why make a Press Announcement that your not making FB phones, then show up at MWC with 2 dedicated FB phones… just seems stupid to me…
idk, i expected more from HTC, especially with HT CHO as a keynote speaker(yes he used his initials to name his company)
I agree with Muffinman, nothing there that’s an wow factor!?! I.e. the LG Optimus 3D and the Samsung Galaxy S II! Both of these phone have the “wow” factor and catches thee eye! Innovative and Trend-setting is the way to go if you want the top spot! At one point there were in the league of their own when it came to smartphones, but now that competitions has set in, HTC lacks! If HTC want to be number one, going in the current route their headed they won’t ever make it! (Hopefully they have something up their sleeves!)
not 1 windows phone 7 for cdma networks announced.. last year in november they announced a 50/50 split for android and wp7 device manufacturing..
It’s all about the $$ man… Unfortunately CDMA requires too much work when the rest of the world is GSM. I really don’t want to switch to AT&T…
what ever happened to this device………..

should be out but no mention of if at all. please correct me if i am wrong
Well after seeing these videos I can see why you are all disappointed. Not becuase the phones are bad but because these videos are scaled down commercials, that don’t show any one feature that these phones and tablet has to offer. These videos should have shown more hands on usage and highlighting of their best features. I too was underwhelmed with what I just saw.
As for the tablet. I use my stylus from time to time on my Windows Mobile phone so I don’t see a problem with including one. Some people actually do prefer to write than type. Especially those with unusually large fingers. I just wish that anyone besides and Dell and Apple would come out with a tablet PC that is larger than 8 inches. I would so prefer a 10″ tablet and I am holding out. The Dell Duo looks good but is too expensive considering I already have a netbook.
I have to agree I am still using my TP2 because nothing has excited me and I have been up for a new phone on Sprint since the beginning of September!!! I am probably going to switch to Android but if everyone keeps releasing crap for CDMA I may just have to switch to GSM which I don’t want to do.
If anyone is listening that makes these phones this is what I am looking for:
-1Ghz or higher dual core processor
-1GB of ram
-8GB+ of internal storage (Come on memory is cheap!)
-3.8 to 4″ qHD screen (or something higher than WVGA, going from WVGA on 3.8″ to larger screen only decreases the overall resolution)
-Qwerty Keyboard and tilting too like the TP2.
-Latest Android release.
-4G since I am going to be paying a premium anyways and only get an upgrade every 22 months now as premiere silver.
-5MP+ Rear camera with flash
-1.3MP+ Front Camera
-FM Radio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, MicroSD (These should be standard anyways)
-The biggest battery that you can put in it 1930mah+ (I love a phone with some weight to it)
Maybe Thunderbolt + Atrix + TP2 and I wouldn’t mind the higher $299 to $349 price tag either maybe even $399. Did I miss anything anyone?
Ditto to that, I don’t know enough about CDMA vs GSM, is there something fundamental about how CDMA operates that makes certain phones and apps incompatible? I love the prices on Sprint’s data plans vs everyone else and ATT service sucks in my area, are they going to come out with some smokin dual core processor phones for sprint any time soon or what? I am due for my 12 month upgrade this april 1st which is also when they are changing the rules on premiere status and I will be silver status so that is also when I will be changed to every 22 months on upgrades. So I have a 10 day window to upgrade but I am not too excited about my options, and don’t know if I want to get an evo or an epic just to have some awesome dual core phones come out a few months later and I’m locked in for 2 years!!
