HTC Files 3 More Trademarks, The HTC Vigor, Interlude, and Imagio -- Tattoo and Dawn Too
Just when you thought HTC was only going to leak out four of their upcoming smartphones, today spawns more future HTC handsets. Recently, HTC filed for three trademarks, the HTC Vigor, HTC Interlude, and Imagio. We don't have a clue what these 3 handsets will be, but it could be HTC's first smartphone offerings of 2010.
Update on July 27th: According to Phone Arena, HTC has also trademarked the names Tattoo and Dawn as well. At this point we still don't know anything about all of these phones, so we'll have to wait patiently. The HTC Dawn could be launching sooner rather than later though, since we spotted it last week.

Toshiba TG01 Passes FCC With CDMA Love, Could Hit Sprint / Verizon
Unfortunately, since it's running WinMo 6.1 (upgradeable to WinMo 6.5) right now, the reviews for this handset are mediocre at best. It also doesn't help that the display is a resisitve touchscreen.

HTC Leo Equipped With WinMo 6.5, a 4.3-Inch Display and a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU
Our first reports about the HTC Leo mentioned that it would have two displays, but it doesn't look like it'll have 2 displays anymore. Either that or it hasn't been outlined yet. But, this looks like a full-spec sheet to me.
Update on July 22nd: According to Gizmodo, the HTC Leo could actually be the HTC Firestone. I've actually been hearing a ton of rumours about it, so I figured that I might as well post about it. The specs remain accurate.

XPERIA Day: Sony Ericsson XPERIA "Rachael" X3 Confirmed; More Pictures of the XPERIA X2
The camera has 8x digital zoom, LED flash, image stabilization, smile shutter, face detection, and it can also record VGA 30fps videos. The display is guessed to be capacitive, since all of the Android handsets so far have been capacitive. Don't forget that this is running Android. This is definitely the best phone that Sony Ericsson has announced thus far, let's hope they continue this trend. Surprisingly enough, you can now pre-order your XPERIA X3 today, however there's no price listed on the Expansys site.
What you see above is another picture of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2, which we've known about for quite some time. Don't forget that this is another one of Sony Ericsson's better handsets - like the XPERIA X3. The X2 has: a 3.5-inch OLED WVGA touchscreen display, an 8.1MP AF camera capable of shooting VGA video at 30fps, 512MB of RAM, GPS, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. This handset will run on a customized WinMo 6.5 and will be upgradeable to WinMo 7. The price and availability have not been mentioned yet. Click on the Boy Genius link below for a couple more pictures.

Motorola Ivory E18 Was Going to Be a Luxury Handset
This handset was going to cost around €2,000 ($2,844 USD) for a stainless steel model. There was also scheduled to be a Gold and Platinum model of this handset as well that would cost over €10,000 ($14,219 USD). The specs of this handset are similar to what you will find on the Motorola Aura, but I actually think the Aura looks better than this - it's also cheaper.

HTC Mega Gets WiFi Alliance Certificate; Releasing Low-End Smartphone This September
It looks like HTC "will launch a device running its own proprietary OS with many features of TouchFlo3D and HTC Sense as early as September this year." This handset will have a similar factor to the HTC Touch Viva. It looks like it will be a low-end phone and could actually be the HTC Mega that I talked about in the first paragraph - since the HTC Touch Viva and HTC Touch 3G look similar. We'll see what happens in the coming months.
