I guess it's WVGA and not WXGA as had been rumored prior to the CES announcement. Not a big deal, but does anyone have any word on when Sprint will be upgrading their EVO 4G?

We will probably know more by Sprint's Feb. 7 announcement and by MWC. I believe that an EVO 2 is coming, although predictably it's more of a refresh that brings it to Desire HD standards, aka using Snapdragon 8255 and the new generation Sense. I suspect that a Desire 2 may also be announced too.

Thanks, Drillbit.

Rumor feed appears that HTC is set to introduce 7 models in MWC, one being a Brew phone, and six are Androids. Of the six, three appears to be models destined to the Chinese market and appears to be variations of existing models. The other three are new ones. Will an EVO 2 and a Desire 2 be among them?

I got another tidbit. HTC's first dual core product might have the code name "Pyramid".

Android sites have leaked photos of what appears to be a buttonless HTC with the backstyle of the Incredible. Whatever this new possible HTC Incredible, it now appears -NOT- to be the Thunderbolt and the new Incredible and the Thunderbolt seem to be separate models.

Also another mystery HTC phone has been caught in photos in Taiwan and this might be the Desire 2.
