HTC Announces February 19 Event

Taiwanese handset manufacturer HTC has sent out invitations to an event set for February 19 in New York. The event itself is scheduled to start at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET) and there will also be a simultaneous HTC event held in London. Rumors suggest HTC will use the event to unveil the M7, which is supposedly going to be HTC's flagship, high-end smartphone for 2013.

The HTC M7, which was lately showcased in an official render, is said to be powered by a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor and 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage and a 2300mAH battery. Also expected to be included is the new Sense 5.0 UI, while the operating system of choice is expected to be Jelly Bean.

Probably no MicroSD slot, small+unremovable battery, and a back design that sets the camera lense sticking out to be more easily scratched.

No. They're no that stupid. *looks at render*
Son-of-a*****!

Nevermind, they are.

The days of the MicroSD slot on phones might be numbered.. To many people were saving their "paid for" .apk to the sdcard and sharing it with others.. That is why on the newest android os's, you cant save programs to the card.. There is a long explanation as to why. I just gave you the short of it.. Btw, Google made the choice to remove saving programs to sd, not the makers i.e. Samsung, HTC etc...

From 32 GB and up there is no real need for expandable storage.
Minuscule batteries, however, have to go. I wonder if the manufacturers know how many sales they missed because people don't want to be tethered to a power outlet.
