According to FrAndroid, the recently leaked HTC Click will become available in France through Bouygues Telecom as soon as this month and will be dubbed "The Tattoo". An image posted to confirm the rumor reveals the phone sports 3G+, has some sort of TV capabilities, GPS and 3Mpix camera. Also, according to Le Journal du Geek the handset will come with a 2.8" display, but without Wi-Fi.

Detailed specifications and new press photos of the new HTC Touch2 are now available on the company's official website. The Touch2 was previously leaked as HTC Mega, aiming at entry level users with a cheaper price range. It will be available on October 6th in a choice of 3 colors.

Check out the full specifications below.

HTC Touch2 T3333 Specifications:

• Processor: Qualcomm MSM7225, 528 MHz;
• Windows Mobile 6.

It looks like there is a new Google-powered HTC device on its way to Verizon. It's called the HTC Desire 6200 and according to the source, it will be Google-branded, which means it won't feature the manufacturer's good-looking Sense UI.

Unfortunatelly, we have no other details about the device at the moment, but we'll keep you informed.

It's official: the HTC Touch Pro 2 will be available to Sprint customers on September 8th for $349.99 on a 2-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate.

There is enough indirect evidence that Sprint will soon be releasing the HTC Hero, but how soon remains unclear. While October is the most favorable period, according to Engadget "Best Buy Mobile locations will be taking $50 deposits for the phone starting on September 13 with an SKU of 9510013".

With the instinctQ on the horizon, we're not really interested in this presale.

SprintUsers has recently posted some off-screen photos showing release dates and pricing for some low-eng handsets scheduled to be released soon on Sprint. Let's get to the most interesting part, shall we?  The long-awaited HTC Touch Pro2 is in the list and ready to be launched on September 8 at an unsubsidized, rebate-free price of $599.99.

There's also a link to a PDF file, the internal "Quick Reference Brief" for the Touch Pro2, part of which includes a comparison chart where the Touch Pro2 meets face to face with the yet unreleased AT&T's LG Monaco and HTC Warhawk, as well as Verizon's Omnia II.

Ai.rs blog has posted the list of specifications of the upcoming mid-end HTC's Mega smartphone. Not bad, and not too impressive, but at a reasonable price point it will make a great purchase.

Here's the list:

• Window Mobile 6.5 OS;
• Quad-band GSM/WCDMA/HSPA support;
• 3.2Mpix camera;
• microSD slot;
• 802.11 b/g;
• Bluetooth 2.

Here's a new video from Vietnam showing off the upcoming HTC Click. The phone looks like a cheaper lower-end version of the HTC Magic. It runs the Android "Donut" build 1.50.999.0, and features a microSD slot, 1100mAh battery, standard 3.5-mm headphone jack up top, camera (no flash), and a pretty small screen compared to the Magic. Also, no SenseUI.

FCC has recently approved the new HTC Whitestone, a presumed Diamond2 variant for Verizon with a 3.6" WVGA display, 5Mpix camera, and support for CDMA / EV-DO networks. It looks like GSM / EDGE are also supported, but apparently these are non-US bands.

DigiTimes is reporting a Q4 launch for two new handsets from HTC, codenamed Mega and Click. Both handsets will fall into the mid-range smartphone category and are expected to drop at around $300, each.

The HTC Mega reportedly features:

• Windows Mobile 6.5;
• 2.8-inch QVGA (240×320) touchscreen;
• 3 megapixel camera;
• GPS;
• 528 MHz processor

The HTC Click's exact specs are unknown, but presumably it's the same Mega powered by Android OS instead of WinMo.
