HTC Teases Announcement At Verizon Keynote At CES

Tweet

A new teaser page has been discovered from HTC. The site, associated with some sort of Yahoo text messaging service, shows three different phones, one covered, the HTC EVO 4G and the T-Mobile G2. The EVO 4G is the ‘first 4G’ phone, the G2 is the ‘first 4G phone at T-mobile’. The last secret phone? ‘The first to 4G, again.’

In my mind, this is all but solid proof that the the HTC Incredible HD / Mecha will be unveiled at CES for Verizon’s 4G network. The site teases the date of ‘January 6th’, which is the first day of the CES show proper and also when Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg will be holding the opening CES keynote. It’s be the perfect time to unveil an awesome new Android phone with 4G LTE.

Verizon is also holding a smaller press conference later in the day. It had been rumored/speculated that Verizon could unveil a CDMA iPhone at the show, with Steve Jobs himself arriving at CES (which would be quite the feat, in 34 years as a company, Apple has never officially exhibited at CES). But, with all the recent leaks and buzz about the HTC Incredible HD / Mecha, it looks like we’ll see that, not the iPhone, at CES this year.

HTC was caught red-handed recently intentionally ’leaking’ pictures of the HTC Incredible HD to gin up blog excitement for the phone. However, their images were too polished and post-processed and the fact that different artsy images were sent to different blogs, it gave it away that this was an intentional leak – more intentional that most, actually.

Anyway, we’ll be at CES live to cover everything that Verizon has to announce.
