Pocketnow's source has taken some photos of not yet officialy announced HTC Incredible. It's packed with Android 2.1 and HTC Sense, Snapdragon processor, 256 MB RAM, 3.5-3.7" WVGA screen (probably AMOLED), optical mouse pointer, and dual LED flash. There are few speculations about the possibility that Incredible is Bravo in reality, over on Phandroid. From the attached video, you can see that the device is really, really fast.

The first 1GHz Snapdragon Android phone is here. Nexus One has been the hot topic of all the technology blogs around the world.

Nexus One

Engadget has the full review here. As far as we European users go, Vodafone has announced that in just a few weeks it will have it in it's offer. It appears that HTC outdid itself, making the most powerful Android smartphone on the market. It looks very similar to the Bravo that we announced a while ago, and it looks like HTC will hold it's breath until the Q2 to roll out the Bravo (probably with new version of Sense). Will there be enough Nexus One models in the stock for all the interested customers ? $530 is just great, with the dollar being so down, can we expect a european Bravo to be under 500€ ?

Can and will you wait for the Bravo or try to get the Nexus One ? Shout in the comments and enjoy the following specs:

  • Processor: 1GHz Snapdragon
  • Display: 3.7" AMOLED WVGA (480x800)
  • Memory: 512MB RAM + 512MB ROM + microSD (4GB, expandable to 32MB)
  • Camera: 5MP AF + LED Flash
  • Android 2.1
  • 1400mAh battery

While we wait for the final HTC HD2 ROM to appear (16. october 2009), lets have another quick look at the test sample in action. General impression is -- HD2 is fast! Even with many programs in the background it completes every task flawlessly. We are eager for the final ROM and new version of TouchFLO 3D (or HTC Sense UI as it is now called).

Update: There has been an interest in photo quality. Here is one taken with our test HD2 model.

Uveiling of Windows Mobile 6.5 will give us the opportunity to see wonderful new devices on the market – starting tomorrow. On of the most anticipated is of course HTC Leo, and according to our trusted sources, HTC Leo will be officially announced on www.htc.com tomorrow (6. october 2009.). However, this will not be the launch date for Leo, and we’ll have to wait until the end of october/start of november. That of course doesn’t mean that ai.rs readers will have to wait that long. We will have extensive video review during the following weekend.

HTC Leo

Stay tuned for video review by the end of the week.

Update:

Final name is definitely HTC Touch HD2, and final ROM should be ready on 16. october.
