14 DAY TRIAL // Taiwan-based mobile phone maker HTC has been long rumored to aim at delivering a nice range of new handsets on the market during the ongoing year, and now a few more details on some of its future plans have just surfaced around the Internet. The new pieces of info are related to new Android-based devices the company should bring on the market in 2010, it seems, and emerged via a leaked roadmap for Dopod, the handset manufacturer owned by HTC.
One of the devices spotted in the leaked roadmap should ring a bell to most of you, since some rumors on it emerged since the third quarter of the last year or so. The phone in question is the HTC Dragon, which the guys over at androidcentral say should land with a 3.6-inch touchscreen display that boasts a WVGA resolution, and which is expected to become available for purchase only on the Chinese market, it seems.
At the same time, the leaked roadmap also includes an HTC A6388, which is expected to arrive with a 3.4-inch display that delivers an HVGA resolution. Another phone should be the Huashan, which reportedly boasts a 4.3-inch display of WVGA resolution. There are great chances that this handset will arrive on the market with Windows Mobile on board, yet nothing is known for sure for the time being.
According to the roadmap for Dopod, HTC should also bring other two mobile phones to the Chinese market in 2010, including the Tianshan and the Songshan, including a 3.2-inch QVGA display and a 2.8-inch QVGA screen, respectively. However, nothing specific on the launch of these phones is known for now, though additional details might emerge soon.
Since some of the names that appear in the roadmap are already known, there are great chances that the devices will arrive on the market one way or the other. However, considering previous reports on HTC deliberately leaking misleading info on its future devices, we won't be too surprised to learn that the rumor hasn't panned out.
