Rumor: HTC Knight aka Speedy to launch on Sprint in January?
The guys over at XDA Forums have unearthed a picture of an upcoming HTC Android device for Sprint, pretty obvious by the big Sprint logo on the right hand top corner of the handset, which will be called Speedy upon its release, although it will answer to the name of Knight too until the release. The handset features the tell-tale four soft keys (rounded like the ones on Evo 4G) at the bottom and will carry a 3.7-inch touchscreen display and according to XDA’s source, a hinge of some kind which hints at a hidden QWERTY keypad.
Now, we would have brushed this off as just a rumor but coming from XDA, we are more inclined to believe it and this seems substantiated by BGR, another trustworthy source, that has received news that Sprint will be adding accessories for a mysterious phone called the HTC Knight, scheduled to be added to their inventory on January 6, 2011. And that’s where the trail ends but keeping in mind that the annual Consumer Electronics Show also kicks off on the same date, we are pretty confident that the device will be unleashed on Jan 6. Until then, stay tuned and we will get you more as we know.
