Anxiously awaiting the hot new handsets from HTC? The wait might not be over but the mystery of what handsets HTC has in store for us in 2009 has certainly been solved - compliments of Arlen at PPC Geeks, the entire 2009 lineup for HTC has been leaked. The new HTC handsets include the Touch HD Pro which will make its appearance on Verizon and Sprint, the HTC Iolite and Iolite II, HTC’s Android offering, the HTC hero, the Tungsten for T-Mobile and the HTC Jasper for Sprint. AT&T will apparently be getting the Topaz and the Barium. There are 25 handsets in all and include the following:
- Whitestone W
- Magnet (Iolite II)
- Jasper C (for Sprint)
- Firestone
- Beryl (Jade 2)
- Twin (CDMA + GSM)
- Willow W
- Thoth (Athena 2)
- Sapphire (VF)
- Saphire 2.0 (TMO)
- Sapphire 1.5 (DCM)
- Memphis
- Hero (Android Hero)
- Tungsten W (Sprint)
- Rhodium
- Rhodium W (VZW)
- Topaz
- Topaz (AT&T)
- Topaz C
- Tungsten (TMO, TMUS)
- Barium (AT&T)
- Cedar W
- Iolite
- Maple (3G Excalibure)
- Citrine
Some of the handsets appear to be new offerings while some are updated versions of current HTC handsets like Touch Diamond and the Touch HD. Hit the jump for a snapshot of each phone and make sure you lean back a bit to avoid getting drool on your keyboard.

now this is a major blow to htc. this is something you do not want to leak onto the net. it gives the competition most of the devices that you will be launching. us cooks get road maps like these but we leak them step by step instead of all at once. rhodium is like a touch hd but with keyboard. topaz was like touch hd but 3.2in display and usa 3g. barium should also be exactly like rhodium but just a hspa version.athena 2 and whitestone were suprises to me. will see if i can get specs on the rest.

What’s with the angled bottom on all of the Android phones? Don’t give me no lip, HTC.

There is something that doesn’t quite compute with HTC when you hold HTC Handsets in your hand. They always look nice in pictures, and yet in person they have a clunky, utilitarian, cheap Asian feel to them. Which by the way is the same way I feel about WinMo. Cheap, utilitarian, and has a clunky feel. HTC just doesn’t compare with Apple or BlackBerry.

The Jasper and the Tungsten look sweet. But, alas, I’ll be spending some unnecessary dough on the Pre. That is after my heart.

Aww, backbeat. Can’t actually take the fact that someone can actually like a variety of products and carriers, can you?
You are one useless, unintelligent little troll

Of course none of the ATT models will have Android and therefor of no interest to me.

wait wait, they all will still have Windows Mobile aside from the one Android phone that won’t have compatiable 3G for AT&T… pretty lame actually…
waiting for the Iphone HD to be announced… it’s coming people, just wait

@Seven-the-thinly-diguised-Shill: If that were the case, Shill, you wouldn’t qualify.
Idiot.

Is backbeat like the BGR version of Clak/iEye? I never get people who so vehemently love or hate something like a telco or an electronics company. You must have a very uninteresting life.

@neodorian…you are correct, but unfortunately I see his post littered on Engadet as well. Me thinks someone needs a hobby! All his post are the same (worthless and degrading to other members) and he loves the
Best to just ignore him like a 3 year old throwing a temper tantrum.

Very sexy. Now if HTC would just drop Windows Mobile we would see the end of Microsoft-On-The-Run.

Lets try to guess what backbeat uses, iEye wasn’t so difficult but backbeat keeps his cards closer to his chest. I’ll start, a Blackberry on Verizon?

I’ve stated elsewhere that the companies I run use several carriers. Will I say which ones? No, because: #1- It’s no one’s fucking business, and #2- This isn’t a football game where they who flood with the most ‘cheers’ wins, ie. the point overlooked by the resident Shills. You gain nothing and only dumb-down the site, so what’s your purpose? To be effective or to be a child?
Sad, but true.

Wow, it’s going to be a tough call to decide whether to pick up one of these or ditch WinMo and go Pre. I think the only thing holding me back from the Pre is the (apparent) lack of expandable storage; the CES presentation video really blew me away.
Either way, the Pre and this roadmap will allow me to leave AT&T (probably for Sprint), and at bottom, that’s all I really care about.

Looking at the 2 for Sprint and the few for T-mobile i hope they aren’t running WinMo 6.1.
I want to either stay with Sprint or go with T-mobile, whoever gets the best Android phone.
I also like the Palm Pre but the reports i hear about Palm denying access to the OS’s root makes me wary.
These phones look ok and all, but until we know some specs the pictures mean nothing
