This rather large beauty is the HTC HD3, a huge new smartphone from HTC that doesn’t just follow on from the HTC HD2, it blows it and every other smartphone on the market clean out of the water!

The HD3 looks set to come with Windows Phone 7 Series, which is a big deal in itself. But it’s the amazing list of features that HTC have managed to cram into the HD3 that is so jaw dropping.

Seriously, think of any hardware feature or spec you’d like to see in your dream phone, and the HD3 has it – in spades! Add to that the tasty novelty of being one of the first Windows Phone 7 Series phones, and the HD3 looks set to be one of the most anticipated phones of the year.

Don’t believe me? Check out the HTC HD3’s specifications after the jump.

Why an HTC Tattoo review, you might ask? Isn’t it just yet another budget Android phone? Well, technically yes – at least in the fact that it’s certainly a budget Android phone, which is perfect if you’re looking to get in on the Android action without paying a fortune.

But “just another” budget Android phone? Nope, not a bit of it! The HTC Tattoo might not be expensive, but that doesn’t mean it can’t come with some killer HTC polish.

HTC may have been showing off their new shiny Android phones at MWC 2010 today, but that doesn’t mean they’d forgotten about dear old (and I do mean old!) Windows Mobile. So they also released this, the HTC HD Mini, a much smaller version of the HTC HD2 released late last year.

The HD2 was the best Windows Mobile smartphone ever released, and with the transition from Windows Mobile to the brand new (and utterly different) Windows Phone 7 Series, will probably remain so. Indeed, it’ll probably become a classic of its time – the definitive Windows Mobile phone, you could call it.

But the HD2 was huge – its screen was 4.3″ in size – meaning it wasn’t for everyone.

So HTC decided to cover all bases, and have come up its little brother, the HTC HD Mini. Featuring the same Windows Mobile 6.5.3 OS and HTC Sense UI, it’s pretty much the same phone, but in a much smaller body.

Does that make it unusable though? Well, let’s have a look.

If you thought the HTC Legend was good, wait until you see the HTC Desire. Sporting the same internals as the Google Nexus One (i.e. a 1GHz Snapdrgaon CPU, 3.7″ AMOLED display, 5 megapixel camera, and all the usual sensors, GPS, WiFi and HSDPA gloriousness you’d expect from an Android device – oh, and Android 2.1), the HTC Desire adds to all this, er, desirability with its newly updated Sense UI.

Oh, and it also throws Flash 10.1 into the mix as well. Mmmmmm :)

HTC have officially unveiled the HTC Legend smartphone at MWC 2010 this week. Although the Legend has been leaked a few times in the past few months, the new successor to the HTC Hero still managed to sneak through the odd surprise – principally in its beautiful aluminium-strewn looks.

If this isn’t the best looking smartphone on the market I don’t know what is!

Read on for all the details and more photos of the HTC Legend after the the jump.

And now we bring you the HTC Legend, fellow readers, our fourth bit of Android news for the day! I told you this was Android Day – for some unknown reason, virtually every bit of news coming out of mobile phone land today is all about Android.

Maybe it’s because it’s the run up to MWC 2010 next week. Either every other mobile manufacturer is keeping their cards close to their chest, or the Android manufacturers are feeling very confident and want to get their news out early.

Whatever it is, today’s been an absolute feast for Android (and Megan Fox!) fans!

Anyway, onto the HTC Legend.

Today must surely be Android Day if the raft of news, leaks and announcements is anything to go by. Everything’s Android from every direction and seemingly every manufacturer!

First up is this, the gloriously named HTC Incredible. Nothing like boasting about your achievements, I guess, but does the Incredible live up to its name? Well, it’s got the 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a 3.7″ screen (possibly AMOLED) and the usual raft of features you’d expect from an Android machine.

Speaking of which, it’s Android 2.1, which, combined with HTC’s renowned Sense UI should certainly make the Incredible glorious if nothing else!

Why should you care about an HTC HD2 review? HTC’s new huge smartphone is based on Windows Mobile, and with the mobile world seemingly full of Android phones, iPhones and Palms, doesn’t that make it already out of date?

The short answer is no: Windows Mobile is certainly out of date, but nothing on the HTC HD2 looks even remotely like Windows Mobile! HTC have created their own sleek user interface and refined it for the HD2, and then given it the horsepower via the 1GHz Snapdragon CPU to turbocharge its responsiveness.

The result is the best Windows Mobile phone ever made, and one that should certainly be on your shopping list if you’re looking for a cutting edge smartphone with some serious power.

One of the more impressive Windows Mobile phones at MWC this year was the HTC Touch Pro2. Sporting the same enhanced TouchFLO user interface as the Touch Diamond2, the Touch Pro2 features a smaller camera (3.2 megapixels, compared to the Diamond2’s 5 megapixels), but a much better keyboard. As you can see from the pics, it features a full QWERTY keyboard that slides open and pivots.

As well as the Android-based HTC Magic announced earlier today, HTC has also been showing off its HTC Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2 Windows Mobile machines. These two smartphones aren’t based on Microsoft’s new Windows Mobile 6.5, unfortunately, as that’s not due until the summer; instead, they have to make do with Windows Mobile 6.1 with a new user interface overlaid on top.

HTC’s original Touch smartphone was the first to feature this new interface (called TouchFLO), and it was sorely needed, as the default interface that Windows Mobile ships with looks like something from the designers of Windows 95!

The new HTC Touch phones take TouchFLO and run with it, refining it as needed and making it much more repsonisve thanks to some extra horsepower lurking deep within the bowels of the machines.
