HTC Mega and HTC Click to launch in late Q3/early Q4?
Not that either handset will launch with the code names by which we now know them, we hope, but DigiTimes is reporting a Q4 launch for both the HTC Mega and HTC Click. Staying true to the strategy HTC CEO Peter Chou discussed earlier this month, both handsets will fall into the mid-range smartphone category and are expected to drop at around $300 a piece. The Mega is rumored to be a decently spec’d Windows Mobile 6.5 handset featuring a 2.8-inch QVGA (240×320) touchscreen display, a 3 megapixel camera, GPS and a 528 MHz processor. Specs for the Click are yet to be revealed, though we can likely expect plenty of similarities with the Mega, barring the Android OS of course. According to Merrill Lynch analyst Laura Chen, mid-range handsets like the Mega and Click will help HTC revenue grow 11 percent in Q4 2009 on the back of an anticipated 19 percent increase in handset shipments.
HTC Mega = HTC Leo = HTC Thoth = HTC Athena 2?
None of these devices are interesting… But that’s why they atr “mid-range.” Is $300.00 the retail $ for these phone? That would be pretty good. Maybe with a 2yr contract they would almost be free!?
This is great, but what about the LG Touch? Where are your VZW ninjas on that one?
The Chocolate Touch that is…

Why does HTC make BETTER looking phones for WinMo than it does for ANdroid…
If you’re referring to that awful chin that seems to be attached to the Android phones, the answer resides in the trackball. Because the trackball isn’t recessed into the phone as far as blackberries, there is a need to protect it; the chin is the simplest way to do so. They also consider it a signature of their Android line up.
@ drpyrog that was a good answer..
The HTC Leo with the 4.3 screen is the winner of those phones listed hands down. If they include that one with the $300.00 deal unlocked,i’m on it asap.
You are pretty ignorant to think that htc or any company is gonna drop you a 300 phone unlocked with a 4 inch touchscreen..
Thinking Android is the wave of the Future, are any Android (T-Mobile) going to have KB & Touchscreen w/a large Screen?
