HTC may have done away with the trackpad on the sleek beauty of a render that we have speculated could be the HTC Desire 2, but take a look at the above image and tell us its trackball doesn’t remind you of a baby Nexus One. The screen and shape of the phone suggest it will be a smaller (maybe 3.2-inch) handset closer to entry level, but we have seen quite a few off renders in our day.
In addition to the “Desire 2” and this “baby Nexus,” another mid-range HTC phone has been leaked by way of render, and this one looks to make a statement by bringing back the “Call” and “End” buttons of yesteryear on either side of an optical trackpad. This phone also looks to include a front-facing camera.
While the above render suggests HTC is just fine with buttons, there is also a new image of the buttonless HTC phone we first brough you last week sans Verizon branding. It is the same exact render from before, however, and doesn’t reveal anything new about the phone.
Sure looks like HTC has all the form-factors covered for the near future, minus something new with a slide out keyboard.
