HTC 7 Pro and HTC Gratia Coming to UK in February - - Official Announcement by HTC

HTC has announced the UK release of its HTC 7 Pro and Gratia handsets in February.

The HTC 7 Pro is HTC's first business oriented Windows Phone 7 (WP7) device, with a 3.6-inch screen that slides away to reveal a Qwerty keyboard. It features the standard hardware specification for WP7 of a 1GHz processor. HTC touted WP7's ability to work with Microsoft Outlook email and Office documents before promoting the multimedia and gaming capabilities of the phone.

While the HTC 7 Pro is being pitched at the high-end smartphone consumers, HTC's Gratia handset is a mid-range offering that the firm claims is "a compact yet powerful Android smartphone". The Gratia has a relatively low-rent 3.2-inch 480x320 touchscreen and is powered by a 600MHz processor, meaning that even though HTC will load Android 2.2 on the device, watching videos on Adobe's Flash player is likely to be a painful experience.

HTC had a bumper 2010, releasing more headline grabbing smartphones than just about any other manufacturer as well as being a launch partner for Microsoft's WP7 operating system. While it had a relatively quiet CES, the firm is expected to show up with something special at next month's Mobile World Congress.

HTC did not disclose pricing for either phone, however expect mobile operators to subsidise both handsets aggressively.

Mysterious HTC Device Without Any Capacitive Button - - Producing Waves Yet Again in The World of Rumours Associated With HTC

After running around the HTC EVO Shift 4G for months, a spanking new rumor has been hovering around once again. Phandroid has been recently tipped off about a mysterious HTC device deficient of any capacitive buttons. It seems to be an ongoing trend with HTC’s phones, to be clad in a rush of rumours and the moment one sheds it another grabs immediately. 

One of their readers managed to tease out images of new HTC devices from the freshly updated HTC Sync. These belonged to three handsets; the first being the already released Thunderbolt while the second was of the long-rumored HTC Merge. However, the third one is of an unidentified HTC handset with a Verizon logo imbibed atop.

The fact that it has no visible capacitive buttons has intrigued several in the mobile web world. Going by the smartphone’s form factor, it is quite difficult to identify which device this is. Apparently, the handset displays the HTC Sense Live Wallpaper. There is a possibility that this is just a symbolic representative of the original device. However, there are no means to affirm the credibility of this image.
