A little over two weeks ago, we learned from leaked HTC documents that their next Android handset will be the HTC Sapphire 2.0. The Sapphire 2.0 was rumored to be T-Mobile’s successor for the T-mobile G1. Until now, we still had not heard any new from T-Mobile on the topic until Senior VP Engineering and Operations for T-Mobile, Neville Ray, dropped this quote:
Our primary focus is consumer-based devices. As the year progresses there will be a significant number of HSPA-capable smart phones. We will be launching more G series phones and other products. You will see us launch a data card product. This will be happening in the coming weeks and months.
There’s still nothing specific or any confirmation that the HTC Sapphire 2.0 will be T-Mobile’s next android handset. We’ll just have to do a little more digging to get to the bottom of all this.
Thanks to AndroidGuys for the tip.
