HTC Android secrets revealed: Legend, Supersonic, Huangshan?

Every once in a while, someone sends me a leak that sounds pretty credible. I can’t say for sure if this information is or is not embedded in an HTC ROM, as reported, but it was strange to receive it as I downloaded the Hero 2.1 ROM for use on my G1.

That ROM didn’t work out for me. I got stuck in a boot-loop and will try again later. Still, having what could be a list of current and planned Android devices by HTC has quenched my geeky thirst for the day.

Posted over at the Android spin forums is the following message:

HTC-Phones


As you can see, phones thought to have been abandoned (Memphis), forthcoming devices (Dragon and Passion), and current phones (different Heroes), are represented. So it’s hard to know what to make of this right now. The poster thanks maxisma, who is apparently known for handling ROM dumps, for uncovering it.

I’m waiting for more info and confirmation…

The supersonic looks amazing! What a sleek phone. When will Verizon get the picture and snag one of these babies. I've been waiting for a Verizon iPhone for so long and seeing new android phones like this one I could care less about an iphone anymore. This looks just a good but more powerful. Verizon....

Heres my thoughts: C indicates CDMA, that would explain why Hero has 3 codenamesHero (GSM Euro Version) HeroC (Sprint verison) Hero CT (Verizon version)Sapphire and Dream are obviously the Magic/My Touch and the G1/Dream Passion (GSM) and PassionC (Verizon Version)Dragon and Passion are DIFFERENT phonesDesireC (CDMA only phone, could be up in the air for sprint or verizon)The memphis could have gotten bumped up specs like I heard AT&T requested after looking at the competition of android phones. Rumors say that the Memphis screen size will be bumped up to 3.2' inches, the processor and camera will be the same as Heros and will sport a D-Pad instead of trackball and a 3.5mm headphone jack.New Never Heard-Before Phones:BahamasBravoHaloHuangshanIncredibleLegendLibertyParadiseSupersonic

about your boot loop. wipe data, wipe ext, repair ext. then flashworks like a charm and make a nandroid backup of a stable rom so you can fall back on that one (without going through the whole flashing process) if you don't like the rom.but right now i don't need the later htc phones (unless they have twice the process power of mytouch and at least twice the ram and rom of the mytouch and it is affordable) i'll stick with my ROOTED mytouch

Simply put I'm looking for a solid smart phone that's Android based. The myTouch doesn't do it for me and I've already grown tired of my G1. Hopefully T-Mo USA will wise up and give its customers something worth talking about on that end. Hopefully something with a Sense UI and not some poor substitution like they did with the Cliq. Its like the sidekick on roids. That may be good for some but I did the sidekick, I've grown past that.

@A man + linkedit: Yah, this is very true. I'll still wait until after new years at least since VZ is pushing a bunch of new phones, but then I'll get one :D

You have to jump in at some point. When ever you buy a phone there's always a better one 6 months away.

It's looking like the Passion is CDMA and the Dragon will be the GSM version (probably for Europe only). Think Motorola Droid/Milestone.

If you're with T-Mo you'll likely have a better chance at nabbing a Sholes Tablet before you'll get your hands on one of these babies. With literally no information on these phones, and nothing even remotely similar passing through the FCC - I personally think we've still got a little while to wait. I think we'll see'em launch a little more than a month after they pass the FCC. Sometime late Q1 or maybe Q2 2010, but probably not this year. Although I won't be picking one up myself, I would like to be pleasantly surprised to see one soon.

You'll be waiting forever with a mindset like this! You should buy a phone you enjoy now rather than wait for one you'll like in the future. Your next phone will be better than both.

My only concern at this point is; with all these phones, will T-Mobile USA wiff on them?? U can probably sense my bias, but I'm just fed up of all these great handsets coming out on other carriers in the US or in Europe. I hope John is able to get the scoop the legitimacy of these codenames/handsets so we can move on to the more important stuff, like who's going to have them.

I've seen this before. It's really odd seeing the Dragon mentioned separately from the Passion, and it's even weirder that there are two Passion code names. The Dragon and the Passion possibly being GSM while the PassionC is a CDMA variant. We could be seeing a release carrier-wide. Will the Dragon be the same as the Passion?
