Looking for some new details on the mythical Project Emerald? The guys over at Phandroid are now reporting that Project Emerald is actually a reference to the launch of two different HTC handsets, not one. The source behind this new rumor claims that will have a “dual-launch of the HTC Vision as the G1 Blaze, and the HTC Desire HD as the myTouch 3G HD” with the first handset hitting stores on September 22nd and the other will make an appearance one week later on September 29th.
While we like the idea of a dual-launch plan, there are a few things here that simply don’t add up:
- According to the leaked T-Mobile roadmap, the HTC vanguard and Emerald are launching two months apart from each other
- There are no similarities between the HTC Desire HD and the myTouch 3G HD
- No concrete details are known about Project Emerald, but neither the HTC Vision nor the HTC Vanguard are expected to feature a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
We may be wrong, but we’re going to be labeling Phandroid’s rumor as pure speculation. We know that HTC and T-Mobile have something big planned with Project Emerald; we just don’t think a two phone launch is what they have in the works.

Ummmm….. I don’t buy the dual-launch theory either. While having two new HTC phones with Snapdragon processors on T-mobile would be nice, the technology for that is almost a year old and I’m sure HTC has something better in store.
Didn’t the 1GHz Snapdragon HTC HD2 make its EU debut back in October of last year?
