The next Android 2.1 phone has risen into the spotlight today. The HTC Desire has been speculated for a while and some new pictures and specs that appear to be the official line have surfaced. The Desire will earn its name with a 1 GHz Snapdragon powering the show, a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen with 480 x 800 res, 512 MB ROM and 576 MB RAM. The phone will get Android 2.1 with HTC’s Sense over top. Other features include 5 MP camera, GPS, digital compass, Wi Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, optional trackball and microSD expansion.
A second HTC phone was also included in the leak: the Legend. This phone includes a 600 MHz processor, 3.2-inch AMOLED HVGA screen, 5 MP camera, Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi Fi. It also features Android 2.1 with Sense.
HTC is expected to make the launch of the new handsets official tomorrow at Mobile World Congress. [via MobileMag and Gizmodo]
