HTC Has A Great New Phone

According to a senior executive of Telstra, HTC will release a new touch phone which will be a direct competitor of the iPhone and the recently released Palm Pre. After reviewing the Palm Pre at CES, Telstra’s executive said that the new HTC phone is “better and more functional”, though such a statement certainly isn’t surprising, considering that it’s coming from a Telstra executive. The new touch phone is supposedly developed using a combination of the Google Android operating system and Linux based software written by HTC. The executives from Telstra believe that the new HTC phone will be a real competitor to the iPhone and the Palm Pre, though of course, we’ll judge that after the phone has been announced (and released).
