Mystery HTC phone

HTC has had something of a leak problem lately, and once again one of its unreleased and unannounced phones has found its way on to the web. The device you see above seems to be the same one that got spied on a subway in Taiwan late last month. Hopefully HTC will end all this speculation and just announce its upcoming lineup once MWC rolls around in a little more than a week. [Mobile01 via Engadget]

Mystery HTC phone caught on camera yet again


It'll be coming to Europe and possibly Asia just like the Desire and Legend did last year after their announcement at MWC.

The more I see these HTC phones the better they look, might have to roll with them next time I updrade. My X is all good for me right now. I want better batteries in these new phones, looks like they are starting to get better though.

I woupdnt call the inspire an evo 1.5 maybe an evo 1.2 not 1.5 and I'm going out on a limb here but my guess is that the us desire 2 maybe the telus ( or whatever company is getting it) Desire HD since we already have a deaire 1 ( the desire) and no one in the us has released the desire HD so my guess is UK desire HD = American Desire 2

That would be correct sir. This phone won't make it stateside till at least summer or after if it ever does at all and when it does it won't be on any of the big four carriers because they only like to have exclusivity type handsets. So this would likely go to the same smaller carrier that got the Desire.

This will be the US variant of the Desire HD 2. It might be the desire HD 2. The pyramid might be the US version of the desire hd 2.

Concidering the camera and LED flash look like downgrades from that found in the Desire HD, I'm doubting it'd be a successor to anything in the Desire range. Maybe a successor to the Wildfire? they're basically giving those away in Europe/UK at the moment.

Of course sprint's gonna have something android related announced soon! Like all other big sprint releases,gotta wait til June...

How long do you spend looking at the back?
It might be in a case for all we can gather from these pictures.

I agree it's ugly. The phone looks conflicted.

And I actually put my Evo face down all the time. I hate putting it face up because I don't want the camera lenses to scratch up. And I do enjoy looking at Evo's sexy back :).

I wouldn't call it an Evo 1.2, 1.5 or anything. It is a phone in a family of phones called Evo

Just like you have the Droids & Mytouch family, it's just a member of their phone

But i really wish(like a lot of others) Htc would find a different style of phone :( I am tired of this same look

...once you slap that BODYGLOVE or OTTERBOX case on it you are not going to give a F**K what the back looks like!

i never understood people who complain about the look of a phone. it's a phone. there are only so many form factors to implement. every manufacturer needs a form factor that will let the consumer know that this is that particular manufacturer's phone.

It's a Droid Incredible sized, Dual Core, 1GB RAM, 4G, Sense 2.0, Allows for sideloading and coming to AT&T.......I hope anyways. :-)

Please let this be the HTC Pyramid slated to come to tmobile. Finally a legitimate successor to the Nexus one. LOOKS GREAT!

Oh no, it's not a pretty phone. It's the end of the world and I'll never be able to use it. Oh no!

Silly me, I always though function was more important.

Im gonna guess the Pyramid by the fact there is a triangle "Pyramid" in the background, although the current pics of the pyramid conflict with this

its the new incredible sorry sprint suckas your carrier isnt coming out with crap so your stuck with that over rated evo!! atleast you got a smaller version of the evo : )

what a weird looking phone. 1/2 Thunderbolt, 1/2 Nexus 1. Plus I don't like the ffc inside the speaker grille. looks unappealing and somehow more asymmetrical.
