HTC’s 2009 line-up – now with more nVidia Tegra
It seems we will soon know exactly how many screws hold together HTC’s 2009 smartphones. FuzeMobility has just come across a spreadsheet listing some more details and some new code names we have not heard mentioned before.
New to us are the Star, Superstar, Tachi, Chief and Captain.

The Captain is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Smartphone with a QVGA screen, likely similar to the Cedar and Willow.
The Chief W is also a Windows Mobile 6.1 Smartphone with a QVGA screen. The W designation indicated a World phone, ie dual CDMA and GSM. Chief and Captain may be older code names for the Cedar and Willow.
Tachi is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional device with a 2.8 inch VGA screen. Likely the last generation of Windows Mobile 6.1 devices, it seems to be the device known until now as the HTC Twin.
The Star is likely to be the HTC Firestone.
The Superstar however is the real mystery, and the only device which can not be identified from the known specs. The Nvidia AP16 chipset is likely referring to nVidia APX Tegra platform, which I am sure it very encouraging news to us enthusiasts disappointed by Qualcomm. The 3.7 inch WVGA screen near guarantees a media-focused device, which is something I think very many of us are waiting for.
See FuzeMobility for more info.
Thanks Wreiad for the tip!

Why they can’t release xperia/tp2 type device based on snapdragon or tegra!!!
After seeing snapdragon prototype device made by inventec called anchorage I can’t wait for something similar to appear on market and if HTC doesn’t bring this type of device these year I will have to look elsewhere…
And why they are underclocking snapdragon to 600mhz?!?!
If they are worried about battery life they should include an option of underclocking it on yourself like toshiba did on TG01.

This is great news… but why does every company take so long to anounce when they are releasing their phones?
I hope we can get more detailed info (pics, date, company) soon.
One question off topic, no Android phone among these models?

Is anyone of them good ones coming with NAM 3G?

Kind of hard to believe well see a triband hsdpa tegra device this year. If I remember nvidia has been talking about their chips for over a year now with only a couple of prototypes. We want these devices now, not the graphically inept Qualcraps.
