HTC CEO Peter Chou said in an interview that HTC will launch LTE devices in USA in the second half of 2011. Mr. Chou said that they are focusing on Android and Windows Phone 7 only, so these LTE devices will run either Android or Windows Phone 7. Peter Chou didn't tell us that who will get these devices in USA, but it looks like AT&T and Verizon are the chosen one. As we know that Verizon recently announced LTE 4G in USA, and they said that they will launch several LTE devices during the CES 2011, and it's almost around the corner. I am sure that Verizon will launch HTC made LTE device, and the device could be the HTC Merge or the Incredible HD. AT&T is also a major network in USA, and they are planning to launch LTE technology in the middle of 2011, so may be HTC is looking forward to launch LTE phones with AT&T too. Hopefully we will see some good LTE devices from HTC, and I hope other big manufactures like Apple, LG, Samsung, RIM, and Motorola will launch few devices too. So folks, are you looking forward to HTC LTE devices? You can watch the full interview ...

Remember the HTC Knight we saw a few months ago, and we heard that the phone is coming to Sprint, and it will be Sprint version of HTC Desire Z. The first real picture of the HTC Knight has been leaked, and we can see that the front buttons of the phone are just like the HTC EVO 4G, but the screen is small as compared to EVO. The phone looks a little thick in the image; this is because the user of this phone is using a hard shell case on it, otherwise the phone will be almost like T-Mobile G2 in size. We heard that the device is coming out next month during the CES 2011. About the specs, it's rumored that the device comes with 4G connectivity, 3.7 Inch Touchscreen, 1 GHz processor, Android 2.2, and new HTC Sense UI. Well, I think this is good news for people who are looking forward to a small version of HTC EVO 4G, so folks stay tuned because hopefully HTC and Sprint will announce it soon! Read
