According to the latest hearsay, Orange will be offering the Android-powered HTC Dream in France for 99 Euros ($124) after rebate and a 2-year contract, supposedly starting March 5th. We'll wait for the official confirmation on that...

The first set of pictures of the upcoming HTC Maple has leaked back in January, and now more have surfaced. It is an update to the HTC Excalibur, a slim yet pretty wide 3G-capable Windows Mobile Standard smartphone with a BlackBerry-like trackball.

Unfortunately the full specifications of the device haven’t been announced yet, but stay tuned as we'll provide you with more information as soon as we get it.

AT&T HTC Fuze owners will be happy to hear that there's a new leaked ROM available for their handset. Aside from the improved performance, users have found a number of other changes, which include:

• FM radio player under AT&T music;
• Slide to answer canvas;
• Microsoft voice command;
• Opera 9.5 build 15445;
• Video share;
• The ability to re-assign the PTT button to something else;
• TouchFlo 3D UI v1.

Just a quick glance at the upcoming HTC Touch Diamond 2 compared with the original side by side. As you see it looks a bit larger then the previous model.

And that's basically all I wanted to show you. :)

HTC has recently released a minor software update for its Touch Pro smartphone. Changelog includes fixes for glitchy auto-focus and preview screen, TouchFLO 3D crashes, and the issue when "the display of TouchFLO 3D sometimes may appear cracked". Be warned though, that by installing the patch you may erase your provider's customizations, so read the installation instructions very carefully.

Were you pissed when you've realized the HTC Touch HD would not be available in North America? We'll, here's some good news: HTC has confirmed today that the upcoming Touch Pro2 will be soon available in all major markets, including North America. The launch date hasn't been announced just yet, but unofficial sources report that will be shipping in late Q2.

This picture was taken from the Google’s demo of its offline Gmail support for mobile devices, and as you can see the given handset features a T-Mobile branding at its top, which is a clear indication that T-Mobile will be its official carrier. Assuming the phone runs Android we suppose this handset is the rumored T-Mobile G2, or HTC Magic.

Right after the official announcement of the HTC Magic, videos of the phone started to pop up. Here is one of them:

Vodafone’s HTC Magic that we've mentioned yesterday has been officially announced today. According to the info provided on the Vodafone UK website, the device will be arriving in April.

Features include:

• Android-powered;
• Quad-band EDGE / dual-band 7.2Mbps HSDPA (900/2100 MHz);
• 512MHz Qualcomm Processor;
• 512MB ROM / 192MB RAM;
• 3.

A couple of images of the upcoming HTC Magic, previously known as the G2, have surfaced today in the Web. It runs on the Android platform, and features HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS support, and a 3.2Mpix camera. Given the the lack of a physical keyboard, we suppose it will offer a virtual (read: touch-sensitive) one.

Stay tuned for more details.
