HTC has announced two new smarties that run on Android 2.2: the Desire HD and Desire Z. Of course, they’re really not that new—since the Desire Z has already launched in the US as the T-Mobile G2, while the Desire HD is similar to the Evo 4G but without the “4G” part—but for the rest of the world (at least for Europe and Asia), yay for you. Two awesome Android Froyo phones are about to hit your continental ‘hoods. 
The Desire HD will be the new top dog for HTC’s Android line, packing a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU and the same 4.3-inch, 480 x 800 touchscreen and 8MP cam with dual LED flash and 720p video recording on the Evo 4G. This international GSM model drops the Evo 4G’s WiMAX connection, but replaces that with a bit more RAM (768MB), and 1GB more storage than its US counterpart for a total of 1.5GBs. The rest of the high-end smartphone package is in, with Wi-fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Google App pack, and HDMI port.
The Desire Z is, as previously mentioned, the international version of the T-Mobile G2. The phone is built with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and optical trackpad, with an 800MHz Qualcomm processor, 512MB memory, 1.5GB storage, and a 5MP cam with LED flash and 720p recording. The UI is different though, with the Z running HTC’s Sense UI instead of the generic Android interface on the G2.
Pricing hasn’t been announced, but they’re both due out in October in Asia and Europe.
