HTC lining up 15 new Android devices

HTC have stated they are going to down the number of phones produced and concentrate on promoting those devices. Fewer devices and better level ingenuity in each. So, HTC have announces no less that 15 Android devices, So of the name include – Bahamas, Bravo, DesireC, Dragon, Espresso, Halo, Huangshan, Incredible, Legend, Liberty, Memphis, Paradise, PassionC, Passion, Sapphire, Supersonic, Dream, HeroCT, HeroC and Hero. Some models are already known, and others are new.

So in actual fact they have downed the number of Windows Mobile devices in favour of Android. I would imagine that a number of these are variants of the same model.

Shoddy phones on the market

In light of the recent Sony Ericcson mess The Inquirer have typed up an article that I’m sure any mobile phone user can identify with, buying a new phone that just isn’t up to scratch. Be it a hardware problem, undeveloped software or just plain broken right out of the box, The Inquirer has outlined feelings on both sides of the board.

T-Mobile Pulse under £100

Built by Huawei and is a rather splendid Android handset which is getting positive vibes across the web.
Inside you’ll find a 3.2 megapixel camera, 3.5" 320 x 480 screen, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, compass and more. Now it’s even cheaper than ever before – just £91.34 on Pay As You Go! Mental! That’s a real bargain, and I’m seriously considering buying this as a Christmas present.

HTC Tattoo is growing?

Doing a little Youtube watching tonight I found this video of the HTC Tattoo and I think HTC have decided to market the device as being a great deal larger than it actually is. I have one sitting here and unless this is the child’s finger there is no way the HTC Tattoo is this size. Are they embarrassed about how it ended up? the screen is super small and something quite off putting, especially with “stumpy” fingers as a comment once declared on one of my video. See the video and my comparison after the break:

Dealers are going to be loosing out on a few bob for every Storm 2 sold so they are simply refusing to sell it.
