Nice and brief this one – the HTC HD Mini and the HTC Desire have been spotted making an appearance in the April edition of the O2 monthly magazine. This magazine is one that is effectively a polished-up sales brochure, which you’ll find in most, if not all, O2 stores. Anyway, moving on to big ticket items here – HTCs latest devices finally appear to be getting ranged on the O2 network!
O2 haven’t really shown their hand as regards the latest in the HTC range (HD Mini, Desire, Legend), but then again this isn’t a new approach from O2 – they do tend to want to get things ‘just so’ before making announcements, and I can some other handsets/devices previously where this has been the case. Now you could of course regard this as a good thing, since it points to more QC testing, but it’s not great when your mates on other networks have had their handsets (for weeks, or sometimes months) and are ‘taking the mickey’ out of you.
Let’s hope that going forward we see more and more HTC devices come out on O2, because right now they really are leading the pack in terms of features/hardware/services innovation!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
