Besides that new BlackBerry Gemini that’s now available, T-Mobile has another hot phone waiting for you in its stores. The myTouch 3G is going to cost you $199.99 with a new 2-year agreement, but it’s definitely an Android device worth considering as you’re next smartphone. The phone is also available online and in partner locations.

And if you happen to live around San Francisco then you should check out the skydiving show that’s going to take place at noon in honor of T-Mobile’s myTouch3G launch. What do you say, ready to get it? Or are you waiting for Sprint’s HTC Hero?

What you see above is a screen shot of the HTC Hero’s support page over at the official HTC website taken by Engadget.

As you can see, it clearly displays that there will in fact be a CDMA version of the HTC Hero for use on Sprint’s network. There’s no official word on this so it’s possible that Sprint won’t have exclusivity with the device but at least we now know at least one carrier that will be getting the phone.

One of the key features of the HTC Hero is the in-house developed Sense UI for the phone’s Android operating system. It features a beautiful yet useable interface that any user is sure to love, somethign that Windows Mobile has yet to get down.

Luckily, a hacker has been able to port HTC’s Sense UI to run on the Windows Mobile touting HTC Vogue. Sure, the interface is pretty laggy to the point where it’d be more of a pain rather than a pleasure to use but this proves it is possible. Now let’s see where the community will take it.

Sprint is another carrier ready to sell the HTC Touch Pro2. The phone will be available at an undisclosed time in the future as the HTC Rhodium. Sprint hasn’t fully announced it but as always, a human error made it possible for all mortal to know the carrier plans to launch it. The Rhodium has been spotted in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile application as a “compatible phone” which will offer you full audio and video content. All we need now are some arrival dates and prices.

Just as we suspected, the HTC Hero seems to be heading to Sprint. The picture here even shows a date for the HTC arrival. According to it Sprint should launch the phone on October 11. Of course there’s no indication that the document in the picture is a coming from Sprint and it could have been easily faked.

Besides the Hero, other phones are also mentioned. The Samsung Q is apparently an Android phone made by Samsung and heading to Sprint while the Aries is the CDMA version of the Gemini, a BlackBerry phone that will arrive soon from Verizon too. As for the Lotus 2 from LG, the handset is only interesting right now as there’s no information about it.

Getting back to the Hero, we’ll just have to say that we expect Sprint to launch it anyway so they could very well confirm it already.

HTC’s Touch Diamond2 has been announced for Europe and Malaysia with no word on a North American release.

Well, just like they have done with the Motorola Morrison, the FCC has given us a peak at the HTC Touch Diamond2 for North American release, reportedly codenamed “Warhawk”. As for a carrier, we’ll likely see this one pop up at AT&T at some point the future.

In terms of a price or date, the documents give us no word, but if previous reports are to be believed the device will be priced upwards of $550 before subsidies.

Yesterday we let you know that T-Mobile was gearing up to launch the Windows Mobile 6.1 touting HTC TouchPro 2 on August 12th.

Well today the carrier has sent out a press release confirming the fact along with letting us in on some specs. The HTC TouchPro 2 will feature a 3.2MP camera, 3G, GPS, a 3.6-inch touchscreen display and WiFi. Color wise we are currently only looking at Mocha with additional colors presumably being released once the phone is considered a success.

Unfortunately, the press release said nothing of a price so you’ll have to sit tight T-Mobile speaks of the handset again.

Pricing details remain unknown but we have about two weeks to find them out for you!

Sometimes it’s worth waiting for your favorite phones, and if you happen to be waiting for the HTC Touch Pro2 or the Samsung Gravity 2 then you should know that August is your lucky T-Mobile month. The company is going to launch both phones in August so you’re basically days away from a new smartphone. According to the leaked documents presented here the HTC Touch Pro2 will be available on August 12 while the Samsung Gravity 2 is going to be available on August 19. We have no prices for you just yet but we’ll be waiting!

Now, there isn’t much information to go along with these trademark filings but at least we have a hint at one or more future devices HTC plans to release.

The trademarks recently discovered include Dawn, Vigor, Interlude, Tattoo and Vigor. As mentioned above, there is no info on these but perhaps we can make an educated guess as to what they will be. Chances are, some of them (if not all) will be running Android. Furthermore, the device entitled Tattoo will most likely feature some kind of (customizable?) print on all or part of the phone. And perhaps the Imagio will feature a high resolution camera and on-board editing software. As for the rest? Well, your guess is as good as mine.

We can guess all day but in the end we’re probably going to be wrong. We’ll keep you posted as HTC releases further word on these handsets.

The next Android update is going to be referred to as the Donut and it looks like Google is thoroughly working on it. While there’s nothing official about it, it’s said that Donut will bring you multitouch support, universal search, automated backups, text-to-speech features, a new camera application and a general improved performance.

But you know what’s even more interesting? It looks like Donut brings in CDMA support which must mean Sprint is getting an Android phone after all. Now we need good old Google to confirm all these and we’re especially interested to see if the Hero is going to be indeed Sprint’s first Android smartphone. What do you think?

Sprint is finally considering Android phones, or so does its CEO, Dan Hesse, say. Talking at the Fortune’s Brainstorm: Tech event in Pasadena, Dan Hesse said that he’s glad for waiting on Android:

T he reviews say now it’s ready for prime time. It wasn’t when it first came out.

Sprint will launch at least one Android handset this year and we hope it plans to launch even more in the future. Considering that T-Mobile isn’t interested in the Hero in any way, should we conclude that Sprint is the designated carrier for possibly one of the hottest HTC phones made so far? Or is Sprint going to launch a Samsung Android phone soon? Stick around! We’ll bring you all the details!

Those of you interested in an HTC Touch Pro2 smartphone from Telus, should check Best Buy instead. Best Buy Canada has the handset for sale and you can get the Touch Pro2 for just $249.99 CAD with a 3-year contract. The best part of the deal here is that Telus hasn’t even officially announced the new phone. Best Buy isn’t apparently aware of this or the company is listing the HTC phone in advanced intentionally. Is this a human error? It very well might be considering the image Best Buy displayed instead of the actual Touch Pro2 picture. Let us know if you were able to order your Touch Pro2 already. In the mean time we’ll be waiting for Telus to launch the handset too.

The HTC Click which we’ve already seen in leaked photos so far is going to be the cheapest available Android phone. This entry- to mid-level phone will cost somewhere from $280 to $336 and that’s the unlocked price. The source for the price is a Vietnamese forum so we definitely have to be waiting for the official HTC announcement to be sure. If all that proves to be right you can expect carriers to offer you the Click free with new contracts.

Take this with a grain of salt, but according to one anonymous tipster who sent the above image to wmpoweruser, this is the Firestone or at least a close approximation of the Firestone, that mysterious smartphone rumored to sit on top of the HTC mountain very soon.  The leaked line-up pic was somewhat in line with the above design, complete with the silver-meshed bottom-corner speaker, but seeing that the last “real” picture of the Firestone was pretty accurate too, a spoonful of skepticism wouldn’t go amiss here.  But if the real deal is anything like the above rendering with those great specs we have been hearing about so much, HTC would have made the perfect replacement for the Touch HD.  What do you guys think?

It seems that HTC has finally gotten fed up with Windows Mobile as rumors suggest that Android will be powering 50% of all their handsets in 2010.

But before they make the Android switch, HTC will reportedly be running Google’s OS on 30% of their 2009 handsets. I wonder how this is making Microsoft feel.

We’ve already seen the Hero and Click, what’s next?

Earlier today we showed you the HTC Click, a handset for those wanting to get a taste of Android without breaking the bank. You could certainly make out a few features of the phone in the previous picture, but it was nothing special.

Now, however, another picture of the device has appeared on a Vietnamese message board in full resolution clearing showing off the front of the phone. As you can see, there are some Android-esque buttons on the front so it’s almost definite this thing will in fact ship with Android.

When and at what price point remains a mystery.

Well folks we have a new Android phone from HTC but I guess that’s not a surprise anymore. What’s interesting about this HTC Click that has appeared in pictures around the web is that it’s supposed to be an entry-level phone. That means you should be able to purchase your first Android phone for an even lower price. No numbers have been mentioned yet and we don’t have any clear data regarding features so we’ll be waiting for HTC to tell us all about the phone soon.

Contrary to the earlier rumors that the HTC Leo would be a flip phone, news has now surfaced that the forthcoming HTC handset might in fact carry a regular monoblock form factor, like the iPhone or HTC’s own Touch HD.  A full spec sheet was recently unearthed on ai.rs blog, which, while confirming the Snapdragon CPU, also revealed:

• 4.3 inch WVGA (480 x 800) capacitive touchscreen display
• 5MP autofocus camera with dual LED flash
• Quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity and dual-band HSDPA connectivity (900/2100 MHz)
• WiFi
• GPS, A-GPS
• Accelerometer with light & proximity sensors
• 3.5mm headset jack
• 1GHz MSM 8250 Snapdragon CPU with 512MB flash memory, 320MB RAM
• MicroSD card support
• 1230 mAh battery
• 121 x 67 x 11 millimeters

From the looks of it, the Leo is going to be one fast (and big) cellphone, but nothing is concrete right now including its name (as Leo is just the codename) until HTC thinks it’s the right to reveal so, which we hope will happen pretty soon.
