Windows Phone Mango handsets by HTC coming next week

It looks like everyone’s coming up with something new. Nokia announced the Symbian Belle-powered Nokia 700; Blackberry has new treats for us, and HTC will be launching something new next week. Word on the street, the Taiwanese phone giant will be announcing its new Windows Phone Mango handsets.

According to sources, HTC will be introducing the HTC Eternity and Omega. The former will sport a 3.7 inch display, and the later will come packed with a whopping 4.5 inch display. You may even think that this smartphone is a tablet.

The Windows Phone Mango will first be seen in the US. AT&T will carry the Eternity, while T-Mobile will be carrying the Omega. HTC hasn’t’ officially announced when the phones will be out in the UK, but it has been rumored that Windows Phone Mango handsets will be out on the 1st of September.

The HTC Eternity and Omega will be the first HTC handsets to be powered by Windows Phone Mango. Windows Phone Mango will come with 500 all new features. This includes live tile notifications, social networking integration, an enhanced Xbox Live, Bing maps, and IE9.

It’s ironic that HTC has more news about their Windows Phone Mango handsets, when the proclaimed champion of the Windows Phone platform, Nokia, is still giving us Symbian cliffhangers.

Powerhouse WP7 Handset HTC Eternity Leaked

The Taiwan-based HTC has always been known for creating the most popular high-end smartphones. It has created the phone of the year award winner back in 2010 the HTC Desire. It has created one of the most powerful handsets in the market the 1.2 GHz dual-core-powered handset the HTC Sensation. Soon, the most powerful 3D handset will be rolling out in the market the HTC EVO 3D. When it comes to handheld mobile device coming with cutting edge technology, this phone manufacturer is on the forefront. HTC’s pushing the envelope in mobile phone technology seems to have no end. HTC’s powerhouse Windows Phone 7 handset the Eternity has been leaked over the internet. 

It’s about time HTC took the time to add their high-end touch to their WP7 handsets. True, they do carry a number of Windows-based handsets in their roster. However, their Android handsets are clearly the phones basking in the limelight.

Since Windows Phones are subject to strict hardware guidelines with Microsoft, don’t expect this new handset to come with a dual-core processor just like their latest handsets. However, it does come with a processor that cannot be found on current WP7 smartphones. The HTC Eternity comes packed with a 1.5 GHz single-core processor. This offers users power and performance unsurpassed by any smartphone of its kind.

Other specs look impressive as well. Other specs include a 4.7 inch touch screen, an 8 MP camera, LED flash, autofocus, a 1.3 MP front-facing camera, 720p video capabilities, DNLA support, 16 GB of storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a long-lasting 1,560mAH battery. This is definitely a jaw-dropping list of specs for a WP7 handset.

Of course, since there was mention of a front-facing camera, it is expected that this Windows-based smartphones will be running the Mango update. Unfortunately, no information was leaked about the price and release date. We’ll keep an eye on this and inform you once we know more.

 

Rumor Suggests HTC to Release Two 1.5 GHz Windows Powered Handsets – The Omega and Eternity

The Windows Phone 7 platform is not new to HTC. The Taiwanese phone manufacturer has released WP7 handsets such as the 7 Pro, the HD7, and the 7 Mozart. Now, we are starting to hear rumors that the Taiwanese-based company is planning to release two more WP7 handsets sporting a 1.5 GHz processor. These are the Omega and the Eternity. 

WMPowerUser, a website that specializes on the Windows platform, claims to have inside information about HTC’s plans of releasing these two new smartphones. However, there is no way of telling whether these reports are reliable or if their sources are reputable. For now, it is best to treat these reports are merely rumor.

WMPowerUser claims to have source within HTC. According to their source, the Eternity will run the Mango version of the Windows Phone 7 platform. It will also come with an HDMI connector and a 4.7 inch AMOLED touch screen. If these reports are true, this smartphone will be enormous. If released in the market, it will hold the record for the largest smartphone in the world. Some might mistaken the phone as a tablet. The Omega will also be powered by the said 1.5 GHz processor, but will come with a smaller display. It will come with a 3.8 inch S-LCD touch screen.

Although the website did not mention when we are to expect the device, Microsoft is expected to launch its Mango or Windows Phone 7.5 version towards the end of this year. We might see the two new HTC handsets on or before Microsoft’s launch of the Mango update.

These reports may be speculation, but it is far from impossible. HTC has been one of the most competitive figures in the mobile phone industry, and it is highly possible for them to release handsets such as the Omega and Eternity.
