HTC leak reveals Vodafone Android handset
It appears that HTC, manufacturers of Windows Mobile and Android handsets alike, has suffered the mother of all leaks - the whole 2009 roadmap, by the looks of things.
Aside from being generally fascinating, the new lineup tantalisingly includes the "Sapphire (Vodafone)", which looks to be Voda's first Googlephone. The world's largest operator did sign up to the Open Handset Alliance last month, so it was inevitable that they'd be releasing an Android handset sooner or later. However, thanks to the leak, we now know more or less what it will look like (nice).
I've chased Vodafone over confirmation of the device, but they seem to have been wrongfooted by HTC's involuntary announcement. More soon!
