HTC Android-powered phone from Verizon spotted

HTC has a whole lot of Android-powered devices in the market already, but here's an image of a new Android-powered device that will arrive on Verizon next year. This Verizon-branded prototype will also come with a Vodafone SIM card, pointing towards it being able to run on both CDMA and GSM networks. Among the hardware specifications include a 4" display of unknown pixel count which probably comes from Sharp, a 4-row sliding QWERTY keyboard for fast and easy messaging, and a 1.2GHz processor that will clearly help it remain relevant when rolled out next year. While we won't take things for granted, it will probably be released with Android 2.2.

FCC approves ZTE A310 handset

The A310 handset from ZTE is a tri-band CDMA device that boasts support for the 1700MHz AWS spectrum, coming alongside Bluetooth connectivity. Our good people over at the FCC have given their collective nods of approval for it to hit the US market, and we do know from the documents that the A310 will feature a candybar form factor, a QWERTY keyboard for easy messaging, a 1.3 megapixel camera, headset port and USB port. At press time, the draft user manual references Cricket and Cricket-branded services, also calling the A310 as the MSGM8 II. While Cricket did sell a device which has the MSGM8 name, it could very well be offering the sequel here even though there is no official announcement just yet.
