What is it with HTC and doing triple announcements on Tuesdays? Anyway, today at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona they announced three new devices: Desire, Legend and HD mini. The Desire is the "Nexus One with Sense" or "HD2 with Android" that everyone has been waiting for (unsurirpsingly, apparently "all key networks in all key countries" want to sell it). The Legend is an upgrade to the Hero, with an aluminium unibody (unlike the Touch Diamond2, announced at MWC last year, the Legend is more stylish than its predecessor). The HD mini is, as the name implies, a small HD2 - it's the only one of the three to run Windows Mobile (6.5.3, I believe), although I must point out that I have an issue with them still calling it HD (it implies that their "HD" line is more of a design style than anything to do with the screen quality). Anyway, videos of the new devices (and of the HTC Smart) were uploaded today - check them out:

In other news, Windows Phone 7 Series (Windows Mobile 7, to those familiar with Windows Mobile) was announced yesterday. It's definitely the change that Microsoft needed (a complete rewrite of the OS and big changes to key concepts), but I'm not sure that I'm a fan - I do want my phone to be a PC to an extent. What do you think?
