HTC Special: HTC’s 8 Upcoming Smartphones

HTC is the main player in the Android and Windows Mobile smartphone bazaar and has the 8 following handhelds scheduled for release in 2010. Some of the information here is speculative, but the data is trustworthy. The Legend is all but confirmed to be HTC’s first Android phone for this year, while the Bravo looks to be Nexus One’s match. I am excited that all phones are both CDMA and GSM, so they should work with any carrier in the world. From my perspective, the only significant area that HTC phones need to do catch-up on is multi-touch, which Apple does just so splendidly.
