HTC is now the smartphone brand everyone is talking about and its recent success has been attributed to the arrival of the Android OS from Google. People first talked about its Droid Incredible which is still selling like hot cakes from the VZW stores and then came the Evo 4G which will be made available by Sprint June 4 onwards. The next big thing bearing the HTC branding could be the recently leaked Aria which will run on Android 2.1 OS and will also feature the Sense UI.

The entire spec sheet of the Aria is yet to go public, but what is known is that the handset will feature a 5MP camera while the screen size will fall somewhere between 2.8 to 3.2 inches.

None of the US carriers have announced the Android smartphone as yet, but the grapevine is that it is headed to AT&T in the most probable of cases. [Courtesy: Devicemag]
