Highly shady and controversial Taiwanese news site Digitimes is claiming that HTC, maker of such famous devices as the Android powered Hero and Windows Mobile 6.5 packing HD2, is going to be releasing a feature fone in early 2010 that will run Qualcomm’s Brew MP operating system. The first American operators to offer Brew MP devices are going to be Verizon Wireless and Sprint. The only handset on the market that runs Brew MP, that I’m aware of (please comment below if you know more), is the INQ fone made by operator Hutchison Whampoa.
