If you are an Android fan and looking for a SmartPhone similar to that of Google Nexusone, well here is a good news. The answer is HTC Desire and it is available in Europe and other areas of the world in GSM form but now it has been launched in US with CDMA support by U.S Cellular. The form factor is similar to that of Google nexus as I mentioned earlier, and its shape and feeling of this smartphone is fantastic. Checkout the specifications inside with video hands on review.

Video Leaks of HTC Schubert a Smartphone with Windows Phone 7 are available on internet, this cool looking smart phone sports a single piece aluminum body just like HTC Legend. In My opinion this is a cool looking phone and I am really interested in it.There are plastic cutouts in the back of the phone for wireless connectivity. There is not much information available related to this phone but WP7 series phones are starting to look good.

Looks like this phone will be available on day one of windows phone 7 series release somewhere in October 2010.

Although Microsoft in February has laid out strict restrictions for Windows Phone 7 UI customizations by OEMS, HTC says its custom software, which it calls “Sense”, will live on, even on Windows phones 7 in some way. Drew Bamford, who heads HTC’s user experience design team, said HTC is applying Sense to its first Windows Phone 7 devices, which are expected to launch in October.

On Left you can see one of the expected layouts of Sense UI for WP7, which looks prettyintegrated and  sleek.

“Microsoft has taken firmer control of the core experience [in Windows Phone 7], but we can still innovate,” Drew Bamford, head of HTC’s user experience design team. According to him, the forthcoming version of Sense would be quite different from the solution present on the company’s current Windows Phone 6.5-based devices. The existing Sense was designed to integrate with most of the platform’s core apps. “We won’t be able to replace as much of the core Windows Phone experience, but we will augment it,” Bamford says

HTC research is working on new and innovative ideas for SmartPhone UI as part of flexible rollouts and some of these features have rolled out overseas. HTC’s Wildfire phone, which is available in Europe and India, sports a widget that lets users recommend applications to friends. Bamford says HTC plans to incorporate the function into other phones.

If you are a SmartPhone enthusiast and following the latest trends, you would know that current high end Smart Phone beasts sport usually 1 Ghz snapdragon mobile processor from Qualcomm or similar specifications. Word is that Qualcomm has already started testing their brand new dual core 800 Mhz mobile processors.

HTC Vision is rumored to sport this 800 ghz dual core mobile processor and will have a 3.7-inch multi touchscreen high res display, Android 2.2 Froyo and a 8 MP camera with full QWERTY keyboard.It is probably safe to assume that features like an HDMI-out port and front-facing camera may be on board as well because of dual core processor. HTC Vision is expected for this holiday season, where HTC will also unveil a new screen technology we have never seen before.

 HTC Vision quick Specifications 

• Support for innovative 3D/2D user interfaces and console-quality gaming via dedicated, high-performance graphics engines
• 8megapixel camera
• Full 1080p HD video playback and recording
• Support for DTS/Dolby 5.1 surround sound
• Integrated Assisted-GPS, including support for Glonass satellite services
• 45nm process technology for ultra-low power consumption

Rumors are that  HTC HD 3 is not far  from emerging into existence and already pictures are getting leaked, rumored HD3 will sport a 1.5 GHZ snapdragon processor, whooping 1Gb Ram, and a Windows Phone 7 as operating system. It will have 4.5 inch multi touch capacitive screen display much bigger than HD2 and a 8mp camera with Xenon Flash and ability to shoot HD 720p quality video.

Here are some of the leaked specifications of HTC HD3 Concept:

• Display: 4.5-inch display (1280 x 800 resolution)
• Processor: Qualcomm’s 1.5Ghz Snapdragon
• Camera: 8 MP camera with Xenon flash, also includes front camera
• Video: HD video recording (720p), 1080p video ready
• Memory: 1GB RAM, 1GB ROM
• Other: HDMI video output, USB 2.0, 3.5 mm audio jack, accelerometer, proximity sensor
• Capacity: 16GB internal memory (microSD card support up to 32GB)
• Connectivity: 4G support, WiMAX, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi
• Battery: 1800 mAH
• OS: Windows Phone 7 Series

Now based on only these specifications I want this HD3 already, and I’m sure more Windows phone 7 series based smart phones will spur into existence by different vendors.  All this means Apple and Google will be facing tough competition this holiday season.

HTC is all rage these days. In 2010 5 new models running Android are expected. The names are HTC Legend, Salsa, Bravo, Tide and Buzz. If anything the names say it all, they are all out to create ripples in the mobile industry. More Android phones would mean more Android users, and since the fever has caught on we can perceive good competition with the ever-present iPhone by Apple, only if they do not bring out something totally new and out of this world. Take a look at the pics for some unexpected drooling.

October 2009 happens to be a very important month, somehow. We have Microsoft releasing Windows 7, Ubuntu releasing Karmic Koala and now it is HTC’s Android based Hero Smartphone hitting the shelves on 11 October in connivance with Sprint. The Hero is no ordinary phone, it is smart by all standards. Upon release and further use it will become clear how it fares against the iPhone, Blackberry or even the Windows Mobile 6.5 based devices. The phone has WLAN, GPS, a 5 MP camera, 3.2” screen, 2 GB memory (expandable via microSD card), USB support, Bluetooth, handwriting recognition, trackball, ability to sync with Google services like Gmail/Google maps, push email, music download from Amazon’s mp3 store and stereo Bluetooth to name a few.

It seems Android is going strong, if the media reports are anything to go by. We have Motorola’s Cliq coming out somewhere in November, Samsung’s Moment, and even Dell planning an Android based device in collaboration with AT&T, besides Sony eying the Android. As if all this wasn’t enough there is even talk of Google and Verizon teaming up for more Android based gizmos. This sounds really good for Google, things are looking up we guess. Dell’s party may also include T-Mobile. The buzz is that Google is coming out be a strong contender for iPhone, in the coming years off course. We are keeping our fingers crossed, everything takes time!

The kind of furor created and maintained by iPhone will perhaps take a lot of time for other phone manufacturers to catch on. It is not merely the product that matters, people need innovation, they need something new, always. If you can deliver this you are a winner. Nokia and iPhone both have achieved this by not merely making a phone but by making the tools available to the general public at large for development of applications for these phones. Microsoft aka Windows has had to follow suit, simply because it is a” dog eat dog world out there”, and because there was no other option left but to do this. So now the eagerly awaited Windows Mobile 6.5 based phone like HTC Pure was released on 6th October. Microsoft has said there will be over thirty devices sporting this OS, quite impressive I must say. And according to reports HTC, Sony Ericsson, LG, HP, Samsung, Toshiba and some other big names have joined the bandwagon, guess everybody wants a share of the pie. These devices have their own Windows Marketplace which is an applications store, just like iTunes Store for iPhones. The Windows team has promised users  improved browsing, which will soon be confirmed. Also included is the My Phone service which allows users to find their missing mobile phones, ring their bells aloud even they are in silent mode, and remotely lock them or delete all data contained in them. These devices are being dubbed as the Windows phones, which can only be confirmed in case we come across the BSOD. (Blue Screen of Death)

HTC Leo aka HTC Touch HD 2 also reckoned as Windows Phone is impressive both with its looks and more importantly with its staggering processing power. This device is 300 percent improvement over the Touch HD on every single 3D graphics benchmark with an astounding 1,822 percent improvement on one test, and raw CPU performance was nearly three times as fast. This is amazing for both mobile gamers who love 3D games and also for demanding business mobile applications on Windows mobile platform.Toshiba TG01 bite dust when it comes to screen size, sleekness and Touch FLO UI 2.6, which makes even the winmo 6.5 cool enough to go with capacitive screen.
