35 HTC Smartphone Codenames Leak
Flagship M7 smartphone, which is set for CES debut, among the handset.
A total of 35 smartphone codenames for devices manufactured by Taiwanese handset maker HTC have been leaked.
One phone included in the list is the rumored, high-end M7 device. It's purportedly the company's flagship smartphone for 2013. It seems there'll be a number of variants of the device, including different carrier versions, storage capacities, etc.
Other names included are the Deluxe, which is the global version of the 5-inch, 1080p J Butterfly smartphone and the HTC Primominiu, which is rumored to be the follow up to the One V.

I like having options as much as the next guy, but more often than not these dozens of different handsets have very little difference between them. Which makes picking one out of the batch a confusing endeavor.
Having a decent tablet has moved me from wanting a bad-ass phone. Just give me fast data service, a decent camera and screen....I'd be happy.
When I read the headline to my wife, she asked what leaked out of the phones. Sometimes spelling is everything.
