In case you were wondering how come we didn’t cover future Android phones shown at CES, the answer is simple: Google didn’t announce any other Android phones at CES. But that doesn’t mean we’re not going to have plenty of Android smartphones in 2009. We’ve seen quite a few manufacturers eager to make some. And now we can add to the Android-lovers list an Australian carrier too. Telstra is saying that an Android phone from HTC is headed its way and it will be launched in the second quarter of 2009. An executive is saying that the new phone will be better and more functional than the Pre. Notice how he doesn’t say it’s going to be better than the iPhone or the Storm? Is the Pre the new standard?

We have no clear details yet and this might be just a rumor which won’t be confirmed. The phone should run a version of Android with various HTC tweaks and it will come with a huge display. HTC Touch HD with Android? We’ve heard that combo rumored before. Hopefully we’ll find out more in the following months.
