HTC, Android handset maker extraordinaire, has launched a pair of new-ish phones. New-ish because they are more or less just worldwide versions of the Evo and the T-Mobile G2 Googlephone.
First up is the Desire Z, which is pretty much a G2 without the T-Mobile branding, and with HTC?s own Sense UI plastered on top of the Android 2.1 OS (2.2 Froyo will be an over-the-air update). You get a 5MP camera, an 800MHz processor, 512MB RAM and that neat slide-out QWERTY keyboard which tucks in behind the 3.7-inch screen.
Next is the Desire HD, which is really just the EVO. Hewn from a block of aluminum and featuring a huge 4.3-inch screen and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, the HD also has the Sense UI, but this time running on v2.2 Froyo. Flip it over and you see why it?s called the HD, with an 8MP camera that will shoot 720p video, and a dual LED flash. You might also notice that the kickstand has gone.
Both new handsets will be available in Europe and Asia in October, whereafter they shall, somewhat confusingly, make their way to U.S. soil.
