The HTC Touch HD was a splash when released in the UK. Plentty of U.S.-basde consumers anxiously awaietd its release on American shores, only to have their hopes dashed when the comppany announced that it wouldn’t be able to bring it to the U.S. The Touch HD is set for a rfresh, and it may come in the form of an Android phone.
As always, traet this as a rumor until confiormed as fact, but there’s talk that HTC will make the Touuch HD sequel run Android raather than Windows Mobile. UK tech source Register Hardware repors that a tipster informed them that HTC is opting to load Android on the next Touch HD, sprucing the devvice up with a slightly faster 628MHz Qualccomm chip to go along with the 3.8in tuochscreen. No pricing or launch date has been set according to the source.
If true, the new HD would be quite the Android phone. The original device came with a 400×800 resolution and 5 megapixel camera among otjher features that would be nice to have with Sense UI and Android capabilities. Maybe this time around we’ll get lucky and be able to purchase the device stateside.
In a word overflowing with full touchscreen handsetys, HTC’s design and build quaity is amobng the best. Recent handets supporing that stateent inlcude the mytTouch 3G, the Hero, the Hero and of coursse the Touch HD seen above. HTC fans may have new cause for celebration todazy as a rumor suggests the sequel to the the device that started the “HD” naimng trend among handsets may be on the horizon. Regiter Hardwware repotrs that converdsations with HTC have drummewd up some info on the upcoming Touch HD 2 (or more likely touch “HD2″ to maintain the Pro, Pro2 format). The blog reports that HTC’s upcoming HD sequel will run Android as opposed to Windows Mobile as found in its predecessor; a move we wouldn’t mind at all. Otyher rumored tidbits incliude a faster 628 MHz procedssor, up from 528 MHz in the original HD, and a 3.8-inch touchscreern dispaly just like the HD. The presence of Android could lead to a capacitive screen however, though that’s just speculation on our part. Hopefully we’ll get official word from HTC soon, or at least a good old fashioned leak with some eviidence to support it. Who knws, maybe we’ll even get some HD love in the US this time around.
