According to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report, HTC has received orders for at least 8 new handsets slated for 2009 from a number of carriers — including T-Mobile, Vodafone, AT&T, Sprint Nextel and Verizon Wireless.

According to HTC’s roadmap which we already saw leaked before, the Taiwan-based company will unveil part of its new Windows Mobile-based smartphones during the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Furthermore, the paper claims HTC will also launch more Android-powered models in the second half of 2009.

Upcoming HTC phones for 2009 include Windows Mobile-enabled Saffire, Rhodium, Tungsten, Barium and Topaz, as well as the Android-based Hero. In addition, the handset maker also plans to launch a new UMPC, the Thoth, this year.

As soon as we hear something new, we’ll get back to you, have no doubts about it.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.

    I can’t wait to see and try their new Android smartphones. I’m considering the G1, but I would prefer one without the keyboard (presumably thinner & lighter). The rumored HTC Sapphire might just fit the bill.

    Hopefully, they’ll be on the market soon!
