The Taiwanese mobile phone manufacturer has been making waves in the industry thanks to their amazing devices.

From the Hero to the upcoming Legend, HTC’s line up of Android smart phones have ranged from super high-end to well balanced devices that covered almost every single market range available. Even their Windows Mobile smart phone, HTC HD2 has been sought after –thanks to the use of the impressive HTC Sense user interface that made using a capacitive touch screen on a WinMo device possible.

All in all, there is no doubt that HTC is practically reaping gold with their smart phones. Google has acknowledged HTC’s dedication and capabilities as a manufacture and has teamed up with the Android supporter to create the Nexus One smart phone –which explains why the Nexus and the HTC Desire share very similar specifications.

Speaking of the HTC Desire, the Snapdragon powered Android smart phone is not available on store shelves along with the Legend (the successor to the Hero). WinMo fans may be feeling a little left out after it was confirmed that the device cannot be updated to WP7, but HTC has let out a teaser that they are currently working on a new WP7 handset (presumably the HD3).

Even Apple recognizes HTC as a threat –being a major developer of Android handsets. The Cupertino based giant recently filed a lawsuit against HTC regarding the infringements of several patents own by Apple. Expect to see development on this issue later this year.

A recent report brings out the cold hard numbers on HTC’s Q1 sales and has shown that the company’s profit growth is continuous –gaining over 19% more than it did last year for the first quarter. Expect to see the numbers to keep rising as HTC’s new phones come out this 2010.

Vodafone just might have an indirect exclusivity to the HTC Legend as the Android smart phone has yet to be found on other operators.

While the HTC Desire Snapdragon Android smart phone is pretty much offered by everyone else (it makes for the perfect Nexus One substitute –that is why), the HTC Legend is still a Vodafone-only find.

So far, the UK based Vodafone has yet to confirm as to whether the device is indeed an exclusive offer, but it is hard to believe that other operators simply passed this device up. Surely the Desire is a much more superior mobile phone in terms of specs. It runs at 1GHz, has a 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen and a 5 mega pixel camera that can shoot in 720p

The Legend on the other hand, only has a 3.2 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen, a 5 mega pixel camera (with WVGA video recording), and a Qualcomm 600MHz CPU. It does have a cool aluminum cover and is the successor of the HTC Hero. As a mid range phone, this is one great device that is much cheaper than the Desire. This smart phone also uses the Sense user interface on the Android 2.1 Éclair operating system.

HTC is a Taiwanese based mobile phone manufacturer that is currently the target of a 20 patent infringement lawsuit from Apple. Despite the lawsuit itself, many consider the move by Apple as a strike against Google –its chief competitor. Since HTC is a close industry partner of Google (and a big part of the Open Handset Alliance), Apple would be able to take out a major portion of Google’s mobile phone industry foothold. Google has announced that they stand behind HTC in regards to the lawsuit.

HTC is pretty much a big name mobile phone manufacturer these days. The Taiwanese company has been busy with Google’s Android operating system and is also expected to be coming up with new Windows Phone 7 device.

They were part of the Mobile World Congress this February at Barcelona, Spain. They showed off the HTC Desire and the HTC Legend. The two Android devices have been expected to arrive by March so it was not surprising to see them being readied, though it was a bit of a news that the Desire got a name change (it was originally the Bravo).

The Desire runs on a Snapdragon processor clocked at 1GHz. It uses a 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen and a 5 mega pixel camera with 720p D1 video recording capability. It is considered to be the basis for the Nexus One. The Legend on the other hand is a successor to the Hero with its 600 MHz processor, 3.2 inch AMOLED touch screen and 5 mega pixel camera. One new device at the MWC is the HTC HD Mini which features the new Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Maldives operating system.

Aside from the devices shown at the MWC, HTC has also a couple of new smart phones coming later this 2010. The first is the HTC Scorpion that is expected to arrive sometime later this year as a high end competitor in the Android market. The HTC Incredible on the other hand boasts specs closer to the Desire.

It will also have a 3.7 inch touch screen, a 1 GHz Snapdragon and a 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash. The Incredible is currently a Verizon exclusive for now, though we would not be surprised if it gets a new name and is brought over to the UK soon.

When you have four new products coming out, it is not surprising that the marketing budget will be pretty large.

HTC just reported that it will be having its largest marketing spend, ever. The HTC Desire, Legend, HD Mini and Smart are going to be coming out around March which means that plenty of money will be allocated into marketing the devices.

The Mobile World Congress at Barcelona, Spain has already brought those four mobile devices to our attention, but with the commercial release of the phones coming up, it is not surprising that HTC wants the rest of the world to know. The Taiwanese company has a pretty good reputation when it comes to the reliability and efficiency of their mobile devices, and a big marketing spend is just the thing they need to get the word out.

Anyway, for those of you who missed out on what the four new phones are, here’s a quick recap of the HTC devices:

The whole lineup is lead by the HTC Desire. This phone was originally known as the HTC Bravo and just got a name change when the device was shown off at the MWC. Specs wise, the phone has kept the same specs when it was first announced. It runs at a speed of 1GHz thanks to the Snapdragon CPU, perfect for handling heavy apps. The 5 mega pixel camera comes with D1 video quality recording and the 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen gives accurate controls and clear graphics.

The HTC Legend is the sequel to the Hero (which makes it famous) and will have a 600 MHz Qualcomm CPU. The HTC HD Mini is a WinMo 6.5.3 Maldives device while the HTC Smart is an “entry level” smart phone that is exclusive to O2 Mobile.

It was estimated that over 20 Android devices will be launched this year, and at the rate HTC is going, it looks like the Taiwan based mobile phone manufacturer will be making plenty of these Android gadgets.

HTC is the manufacturing company behind the Google Phone, Nexus One. They have been working closely with Google and the Android operating system. They have been the first to come out with an Android device so it makes perfect sense that they also made the first Google phone.

Of course, HTC has its own Android projects. The HTC Bravo which probably served as a big inspiration of the Nexus One has been confirmed to be launching around March of this year. The Bravo is not the only HTC Android phone coming out, next in line is the HTC Legend.

The Legend has been referred to as the next Hero phone, or the Hero 2. The device first appeared with the Bravo in the leaked HTC 2010 roadmap. There are a total of eight devices in that list; five Android smart phones and three Windows Mobile devices. The WinMo phones were named Photon, Trophy and Tera.

The devices were meant to be using WinMo 6.5 reskinned with the HTC TouchFlo user interface. With a newer WinMo 6.5.3 version coming, it is likely that the production of that has been delayed for a while. The Android phones on the other hand, seem to be in production. While no word about the Salsa, Tide and Buzz have been released; the Bravo and the Legend are well on their way to store shelves.

The Legend will come with a 3.2 inch AMOLED touch screen, a 5 mega pixel camera and a 600Mhz Qualcomm CPU. No word has been given on the Legend’s release date.
