New HTC devices bound for Sprint

These may or may not be the new devices HTC is announcing May 6, but either way this is some fantastic news for Sprint fans. Turns out that HTC is already prepping the replacements for the Mogul and Touch, the Raphael and Diamond (both of which are confirmed HTC codenames). These devices will be Windows Mobile Professional, we assume v6.1, and both will feature Wi-Fi, 3-megapixel camera, "advanced" TouchFLO, GPS and EVDO, which should be Rev. A. Oh, and get this, VGA screens. Yes, 640x480.

The Raphael is slated to launch first, with a target date of September, and replace the Mogul. The specs don't list a size, but it looks to be much sleeker than the current offering while retaining the side slide-out QWERTY.


Second, we have the Diamond, which will take the place of the Touch. Again, there is no size listed, but the inclusion of Wi-Fi this time around, along with an upgraded camera, will be enough to entice current Touch users to upgrade. Look for this to land just in time for the holidays if all goes as planned.
