HTC PR rep suggests we have “no idea” what they’re bringing to MWC as Upleaks account returns
Through all the witch hunting and back and forth about what the HTC One M9 will look like, we haven’t heard anything from the horse’s mouth. We rarely do hear anything in these situations — most companies prefer to let the public and media bicker among themselves — but one notable HTC public relations rep made it a point to say something.
Jeff Gordon, a senior global communications manager for HTC, took to Twitter with the following statement:
The best parts of HTC’s March 1st launch event are the parts you have NO IDEA are coming.
And so, the questions begin: what does he mean? Is he referring to the HTC One M9 itself? If so, is he saying that neither of the designs we’ve been seeing are accurate, or is he just adding fuel to an already ugly, confusing fire?
If not, is he talking about another device? We’ve heard that they’ll be bringing a “Prime” variant of the HTC One M9 before, which is said to use a phablet form factor and house a fingerprint scanner. Or is he talking about the smart watch we’ve heard they’re working on? Or has HTC come up with something completely out of left field that no one would ever expect?
The answer to those questions are hard to get, and that’s exactly what HTC wants. For better or worse we actually have no clue what the company is bringing to Mobile World Congress, and heck — part of me wants it to stay that way so as to not spoil the surprise.
Oh, and remember when @upleaks’ Twitter account mysteriously vanished yesterday after leaking three supposed HTC One M9 product videos? It’s back. They apologized to HTC for going “overboard” and went on with their business. We’re not sure what that says about the legitimacy and accuracy of the leaks, but it’s definitely something to think about as we await the company’s big March 1st event at Mobile World Congress.
