Trains employees on an Android phone with large touchscreen

Taiwan-based mobile phone maker HTC Corporation announced last month, during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the launch of two new devices powered by Google's Android operating system, namely the HTC Legend and Desire, and now we learn that the latter might land in the US on T-Mobile's airwaves. It seems that the carrier already started to train its employees on Desire, which suggests that it might not be too long before the device makes an appearance on the US market.

[ADMARk=1]It seems that multiple sources already confirmed that T-Mobile is training employees on a new Android-based device, and that this handset might turn out to be none other than the HTC Desire in the end, a recent post on Androinica states. However, there are still no solid details on the new mobile phone T-Mobile is getting ready to launch, and while Desire seems to be a good bet, the reality might be another one in the end.

It seems that the device in question comes with a large touchscreen display, which means that it might not be the smaller Motorola CLIQ XT, but the name is still unconfirmed. For what it's worth, considering that T-Mobile already has the Nexus One by HTC on its airwaves, there are great chances that Desire will also land there, especially since the two phones are basically the same device. However, previous rumors suggested that other carriers in the US would receive it, and this remains in the rumor side until further confirmation emerges.

The HTC Desire has been already announced as slated for launch on a series of carriers around the world, but none of the US operators unveiled plans to release it. Most of you might know by now that the Desire will arrive in the UK on almost all major carriers there, and that Australia will also receive it, but it remains to be seen who will bring it to the US and, more importantly, when that happens.
