HTC beginning Froyo rollout tomorrow? Maybe, maybe not

HTC Europe director Mark Moons caused quite a stir this morning when he tweeted that the company would begin rolling out Android Froyo updates to devices tomorrow, starting with the Desire , but we wouldn’t get too excited yet — HTC tells us that it’s possible a rollout will begin tomorrow, but nothing’s finalized yet pending some final testing. We’ve certainly got our fingers crossed — and we’re sure Desire owners the world over will be hitting that System Updates button nonstop for the next few days.

SLCD-equipped HTC Desire ‘coming soon’ to Telus

We’d already seen an HTC Desire with North American 3G hit the FCC , and it looks like we now know exactly where it’s headed — Telus has just announced that the phone is “coming soon” to its network. What’s more, the carrier has also confirmed that the phone will be equipped with a 3.7-inch Sony Super LCD screen instead of the regular AMOLED display that’s in short supply . Otherwise, the phone is the same Android 2.1-powered, Snapdragon-based, Sense-skinned device we’ve seen all along, which is hardly a bad thing — unless you’re waiting for a Desire HD , that is.

HTC Desire listed for €419 at Amazon’s German portal

Curious as to what HTC will be charging for its Sense-enabled Desire ? If Amazon’s German portal is to be believed, it’ll go for a cool €419 ($572). Of course, the site doesn’t give any indication as to when it’ll actually ship to those that order, but it is clear that Amazon is doing the selling and not some third-party merchant. Just under six Benjamins for a souped-up Nexus One

HTC enhances Sense with Leap and Friend Stream (updated with video)

HTC Desire first hands-on (updated with video)

Well, we just got a little up close and personal with HTC ‘s “superphone,” the Desire . What you’re looking at is basically the Nexus One, sans trackball (though plus an optical touch area). Certainly the specs are the same, though you’ve got the new Sense UI on board for good measure.

Droid Eris turns up in Verizon training course

Filed under: Handsets , HTC , Verizon Wireless , Android Again, we have no idea why Verizon is burying the launch of the HTC Droid Eris alongside the Motorola Droid tomorrow (well, apart from the slow CPU and older Android build ) but if you had any doubts that Big Red was going to launch this riff on the Hero , well, these screenshots of the employee training course should put those to rest. Interestingly, the buttons and logo placement are slightly different from the pic that was leaked to gdgt , but this version certainly looks like what Eric Schmidt was holding the other day, so we’re thinking this is the final iteration. We’ll see what’s what tomorrow, we suppose.

HTC Desire with Sense UI and Verizon branding spotted

Filed under: Handsets , HTC , Verizon Wireless , Android Verizon’s on a roll with Android handsets these days, first with the heavily-advertised Motorola Droid and the reclusive / unannounced Calgary , and now with this fleeting glimpse of Android hardware progenitor HTC. Yes, it’s got 3G (or the Verizon equivalent of it), Sense UI, a trackball just barely discernible on the bottom, and from what Boy Genius Report is saying no physical keyboard whatsoever — all virtual. We’re definitely sporting a Hero vibe, but really, would it really have too hard to find a decent light source for this shot?
