Autumn Launch Predicted for HTC Desire HD

Autumn Launch Predicted for HTC Desire HD There is another Android super-phone due to be launched - according to unconfirmed sources - that will give the iPhone 4 a run for its money.

The new handset from HTC will be called the Desire HD. A report from Mobile Choice believed that it could make an appearance in the mobile phone market at some point in October of this year. Sources claimed that the new Desire HD will be a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, running on the Android 2.2 operating system. It will proudly boast a large multi-touch 4.3-inch WVGA screen.

The camera has been significantly improved from the previous model and is rumoured to be 8MP. It will also come with 720-pixel HD video recording and will support Xvid video, as well as SRS surround sound and a high-quality digital file format.

The camera was reported to have automatic face-tracking software and the phone itself is expected to have 4GB of internal storage. As it will be running on Android 2.2, the phone will also support Flash player.

As far as the design of the new handset goes, the Desire HD will sport an aluminium unibody. This would certainly be in keeping with the company's popular series of Legend style phones.

Previously expected to be called the HTC Ace, the new phone has been tagged a "European version (presumably 3G-only) of the HTC EVO 4G". While the HTC camp has not produced an official statement as of yet, they are expected to give details on the phone's projected price and availability in the near future.

Typical - HTC

I guess that would explain why the HTC Desire does not have the Android 2.2 firmware yet. HTC is too busy with this new phone to bother with the existing phones. No wonder a date can't be set for the existing phones' firmware upgrade OTA. Strange how other developers can get 2.2 working on the Desire but HTC can't at present. The excuses seem pretty lame to me and there is no point anyone contacting them because you get fobbed off with different excuses. Why can't they finish one thing before starting another? It only causes further delays.
