What HTC will announce on May 6, 2008 ?

On May 6, 2008, HTC will have yet another launch event, and as previous ones it will take place in London, UK.
HTC wants to be the first mobile phone manufacturer that will be selling Google Android powered phones so it goes without saying that they will be presenting their new phones powered by Google Android operating system.
But what kind of Windows Mobile related announcements will be made by HTC then? HTC on May 6, 2008, will announce:
- new Windows Mobile phones - more models with touch-screen but still no model with front-facing QWERTY keyboard for single-handed usage and touch-screen ( HTC is not making such phones intentionally - to get OEM orders from companies like Palm and HP - what is huge mistake in our view )
- successor to HTC TouchFLO, that leaked to the Internet under the code-name "HTC Manila". HTC TouchFLO is a technology for improved finger-based navigation on touch-screens. Since Windows Mobile 6.1 still is not offering any improved navigation for finger-based navigation HTC had to act and release their own improvements.
- HTC phones will get faster transfer speeds: they will offer HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/second (instead of 3.6 Mbit/second) and (at last!) HSUPA (up to 1.4 Mbit/second). Since nowadays major mobile operators in Europe (i.e. Vodafone and T-Mobile) offer such speeds for all customers, this upgrade is vital.
