HTC Working on Android Superphone

Nothing quite stokes gadget geeks like a good old fashioned rumour so here we go ... HTC are perhaps maybe possibly working on a new Android superphone ... or it might be a tablet. The confusion and doubt comes about through a lack of any substantial information except for a name, a model number and the bare bones of a specifications list.

The product in question is being called the HTC Merge and it will allegedly be running with a processor with a clock speed in excess of 1 GHz and pack in a 10 MP camera. The handset was spotted in a Global Certification Forum filing as well as on American network Verizon's database. The name 'Merge' maybe a clue as to the identity of the handset with some wondering whether it hints at a tablet rather than a phone or possibly some sort of hybrid a le the Dell Sreak.

What is known is that it has the model number ADR6325 and that it will be running Android. The fact that it is on Verizon's database would also suggest that it will support CDMA and be launched on that network at some point. It does also support GSM frequencies though so perhaps it will be a global handset or maybe even just a re-working of an existing handset like the Desire HD.
