14 DAY TRIAL // In case you were wondering what would HTC have in store for us on the Android area of the market for the not too far future, you might have just got an answer, in the form of a HTC Speedy smartphone, reportedly headed for Sprint's airwaves in the United States.
This is not the first time the HTC Speedy name emerges into the wild, but it seems that it is the first time when more info on what this handset is all about surfaced.
As its name suggests, the phone should be a fast device, and the guys over at pocketnow suggest that it might be released with an 800 MHz processor on board.
Moreover, the upcoming mobile phone should pack a 3.5-inch touchscreen display that boasts a HVGA (320 x 480 pixel) resolution, as well as slide-out QWERTY keyboard, most probably a landscape one.
Among the other rumored specifications of this new mobile phone, we can count 386 MB of RAM, as well as a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with flash and, most probably, with video recording capabilities.
According to the news site, citing info leaked on YouHTC, it seems, the handset should land at Sprint with Android 2.2 Froyo on board, on top of which HTC loaded a new version of Sense, it seems.
The Home, Menu, Back and Search buttons on this device should be capacitive ones.
Moreover, it seems that the phone is called “HTC Evo 4G's younger brother” by an anonymous source, suggesting that its connectivity options might include 4G too, but we'll have to wait for an official confirmation on this, that's for sure.
No info on when this device might be launched on the market emerged, nor on the price tag it might sport.
However, chances are that it would be released on more markets, as PocketNow points towards HTC Speedy as being a variant of the HTC Blitz, since the two sport similar codenames.
