New HTC handsets get leaked

Still on the leak bandwagon, we now have a bunch of HTC handsets for your perusal courtesy of PocketNow.

HTC Desire2

First up is what looks to be like the successor of the HTC Desire. Gone here is the optical trackpad and physical buttons, and in place are a set of resistive touch controls beneath the display. Also new here though is the front-facing camera, which we’re guessing will now be present in most high-end Android smartphones with Gingerbread finally supporting it. Unfortunately, that’s about it for now with this particular handset.

HTC Android buttonless

Next is something for Verizon, and its twin for other carriers. We don’t have its name yet nor its specs, but one thing noticeably new here is the button-less interface. No optical trackpad. No touch sensitive buttons below the display. Nothing. Just a plain touchsreen display. There also appears to be a 3.5mm jack on top of it.

HTC Smart2

This one, meanwhile, is HTC’s new Brew-powered handset. As Unwiredview puts it, this will most likely be named the HTC Smart2. Only thing confirmed with this baby is that it’s now got a home button where the back key used to be.

HTC China

Last, but certainly not the least, are three new touchscreen phones headed for China: the HTC A3360 TianShan (right), HTC A3380 (middle), and an unnamed handset purportedly China Telecom-bound.

While we don’t have a launch date yet to look forward to for these HTC 2011 offerings, we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for these at the coming MWC even in Barcelona next month, and hopefully, one or two of these new goodies will be making its way to the Canadian market.
