HTC adds eight smartphones to the cavalry
As if HTC doesn't have enough smartphones in its stable, the Taiwanese company is ready to unleash a barrage of eight – yes, eight! – new handsets into the smartphone arena. So if you struggle while trying to distinguish your S from your Z to your HD, expect everything to get just that little bit more complicated.
Head honcho Peter Chou confirmed the company is releasing between six and eight brand spanking new smartphones in Q3 of this year. You can expect the new releases to be of the middle-to-high-end variety, as there are no plans to launch any budget blowers. We suspect the majority of the new releases will be running Android, but with Windows Phone Mango just around the corner, we have a hunch HTC will be giving a few of its handsets the Windows treatment, too.
We just can't wait to find out what bizarre phone names HTC is going to pull out of the bag this time round. Any ideas?

I just worry that this will end up going the way of Nokia where you get one phone that does a couple things really well, but everything really badly. I think it's better to release three phones of varying qualities that have high, mid and low performance, than release ten that only meet one need each.

with my experience of the last last 2 desires being god awful, the HD with 6 hour min use battery life & the desire already defunct with god awful camera etc then the future is really not looking good. i agree with the above, they are better sticking to a few phones that do things well & not half as*sed & lazy. you guys also need to review a little more thoroughly as i know at least 2 other desire hd owners who cant believe how awful the battery life is and how this was not picked up in reviews is beyond me.
