New Windows Mobile 6.5 HTC Mega and Android Powered HTC Click Smartphones Insider Pictures.....

HTC is in the forefront of modernizing Windows Mobile and they're the driving force behind the hardware of most Android phones (and a new UI as of recently). They're not showing any signs of backing down on either platform and seem to have two new entry-level handsets under way, one for each OS - the HTC Mega and HTC Click.

The HTC Click is yet to be announced but that didn't stop the Leak Fairy from bringing us photos and specs. It's a touchscreen bar, roughly the same size as the HTC Magic - a bit shorter, a bit wider and just as thick. It runs Android OS ver. 1.5 (a.k.a. Donut) and lacks Sense UI, which probably indicates it will be a "Google Experience" phone.

The rest of the specs of the HTC Click include a microSD slot, a 3.5mm audio jack and a 1100mAh battery. There's also the standard miniUSB port. We're not quite sure what resolution the camera shoots in but it's obvious it doesn't have a flash.

The touchscreen on the HTC Magic is bigger than the one on the Click but we're not sure by how much (we guesstimate it's about 2.8"). The typical Android buttons are available bellow the display, but the trackball was replaced by a D-pad - making the HTC Click the second Android phone with a D-pad ever (the first is the Samsung I7500 Galaxy).

The second HTC phone for today is the HTC Mega. Don't get confused, the "mega" here doesn't stand for "mega expensive", quite the opposite actually. You can say it's the HTC Touch 3G freshened up. It has the same wireless capabilities - quad-band GSM/EDGE and dual-band HSPA (up to 7.2Mbps), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 and GPS.

The biggest change is the OS - Windows Mobile 6.5. Physically, it's almost the size of the Touch 3G, but the HTC Mega is almost 2 mm thinner - 104x55x12.8 mm. It has the helpful home, menu and back keys and a touch zoom bar like on the Touch Diamond2. The rest of the specs are almost identical as well - the same 528MHz CPU, RAM got bumped up to 256MB, a 2.8" QVGA touchscreen, with 3.2 fixed-focus camera and microSD card slot. Even the battery is the same at 1100mAh.

Celluloco.com Unveils HTC Click : Another Android O.S. Powered Smartphone

Several spy photos of the yet unannounced Andoid-powered handset leaked online. The HTC Click is said to be an entry level handset that should help bring the new OS to a much wider user base.

As you might have guessed the information available about the HTC Click is pretty limited at this stage. All we know is that it packs a 3.5mm standard audio jack and a camera of some kind. Its appearance is hardly too surprising as after the HTC Hero was released, the Android army is one entry-level handset away from covering the whole range.

The image source also mentions that the body of the HTC Click is about the size of the HTC Magic so we should expect a 3.2" screen too. The HTC Click replaces the trackball found on the Magic with an extraordinary large D-pad but the rest of the controls on the front panel remain unchanged
