HTC's 2010 roadmap leaked
Reports have surfaced that mobile phone manufacturer HTC’s roadmap for the first half of 2010 has been leaked online. The forecast contains detailed information regarding the company’s ies release plans for next year and is accompanied by several device images.
The leak gives details behind eight previously unconfirmed device models which have been divided into four categories according to features and market positioning.
Although local HTC distributors Leaf International could not confirm the existence of these devices the following information is currently available online.

The Legend has been positioned as the successor to 2009’s popular HTC Hero. It will reportedly feature an 11.4mm metallic frame, a 3.2” AMOLED touchscreen, an optical mouse track pad for interface navigation, HTC’s Sense software, a 5 Megapixel camera and will run on Google’s Android mobile operating system.
The Legend is expected to be released in March 2010.
