According to a recent report by SlashGear, there's a new firmware update on its way to HTC Hero. Details on the exact contents are not available yet, but according to the original source it includes the usual "performance improvements and bug fixes". We'll see.

Pocketnow.com has posted a vido walkthrough of the the TouchFlo 3D 2.6 UI for the upcoming HTC Leo handset. In case you're wondering, this build runs on a Touch Diamond2, which shows great performance even if the hardware isn't exactly high-end.

Check out the video below:

According to EngadgetMobile, the AT&T has cancelled the upcoming release of the HTC Lancaster, which was supposed to become the company's first Android-powered handset. Instead, AT&T subscribers will be getting two great WinMo 6.5. devices - the HTC Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2 (aka the Warhawk/Fortress), which are actually said to become available in October on AT&T.

Rogers has recently lowered the prices for a couple of HTC's Android handsets, Dream and Magic. They both are currently available for just CAD$79.99 on a 3-year contract. If this long term commitment doesn't scare you, get yourself one of these phones without hesitation.

The T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2 has been released and is now available online and in stores at a price of $349.99 on a 2-year contract. Just to remind you, its key specifications include a 3.6″ touchscreen, sliding QWERTY keyboard, 3.2Mpix camera, WiFi and GPS support.

A new pic and specs for the Verizon's upcoming HTC Whitestone (read: Touch Diamond2). It is a dual-mode CDMA / GSM phone with a 3.6" WVGA display, Windows Mobile 6.1 on board, 528MHz Qualcomm processor, and 256MB of RAM.

The HTC Mega, which has also leaked out yesterday doesn't differ much with its WinMo 6.5 OS, new version of TouchFLO 2D, 2.

The highly customizable HTC-made myTouch 3G has been recently released on T-Mobile USA. It is currently available through retail stores, partner locations and online for $199.99 on a 2-year contract in a choice of black, merlot and white colors.

It's definitely not an official launch confirmation, but an official Sprint portal for the outfit's NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile application currently lists the HTC Rhodium as a "compatible phone" supporting full audio and video content. In case you didn't know, "Rhodium" is basically the same "Touch Pro2." But don't get excited just yet, just wait for the phone's official announcement.

Verizon subscribers can now get almost any smartphone offered by VZW (except Samsung Saga) for just $99 on a 2-year contract. That includes both HTC's Touch Pro and Touch Diamond. What does it mean? That Touch Pro 2 and Touch Diamond 2 are on their way, I guess.
