A leaked HTC roadmap for 2010 has revealed that the majority of the company's smartphones for the first half of 2010 will run Google Android, not Windows Mobile.

Â
The Android phones are led by the Bravo, a Performance category device that would be the first Android phone capable of 720p DivX playback; it would run on a fast 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a wide VGA AMOLED touchscreen, a 5-megapixel camera as well as the typical 3G, GPS and Wi-Fi.
The Legend heads up the Design/Lifestyle category and appears to be a direct successor to the Hero that adds an AMOLED screen, a faster 600MHz processor and a flash for the 5-megapixel camera. It's joined in the category by the Salsa, an apparent refresh of the original QWERTY Android prototype that adds HTC's signature "kink" and a touchscreen; it would be less expensive with a 3.2-megapixel camera and a 528MHz processor.
The Social division would start with the Tide, a unique candybar design with a number pad, a touchscreen and the same internal specs as the Salsa. A touch-only Buzz model appears to replace the customizable Tattoo and would borrow design elements of the Touch2; it would be an upgrade compared to either thanks to a capacitive touchscreen, a 5-megapixel camera, 3G, GPS and Wi-Fi.
XDA-Developers did get the leaked info from a "NATCO day" brochure from T-Mobile.
