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.

Customers who purchase this handset will get the benefit of a 2.8 inch resistive display, which is admittedly pretty small and a QWERTY keyboard. Owners of the Smart will have the benefit HTML browsing. They will be able to check and send email as well as keep up with their favorite celebs, family and friends on Twitter.

The HTC Smart comes with 256 MB of RAM and ROM. Users will be able to take photographs with the phones 3.0 megapixel camera. At 3.0 megapixels, the camera is not bad but it’s not great either. It’s probably just right for the price of the phone.

The Smart is a Euro-friendly 3G handset and utilizes Quadband EDGE technology. The mobile’s processor speed is 300MHz, which is not really fast at all and its RAM is average. It has a built in memory of 256 MB. However, more memory can be added via the phone’s MicroSD slot.  There has been no mention of GPS or Wi-Fi. As a result, there is an assumption that they won’t be added, though this may not necessarily be the case.

The HTC Smart should reach Europe and Asia in the Spring (2010). Though no price has been set, this phone is expected to be priced quite affordably. The rumored specs speak to this assumption. It simply isn’t possible, or at least it would not make good business sense to price this handset expensively. The specs and features simply wouldn’t support it. There are too many good phones on the market at the higher price points that the Smart wouldn’t be able to compete against so we should be able to look forward to some excellent HTC Smart deals come Spring time.
