This year is gearing up to be a good one if you’re an AT&T customer looking for Android-powered phones.  The thus-far-Android-shy carrier will be supporting and/or selling at least two top-tier Android handsets within the next few months.

First, Google will launch an AT&T 3G-friendly version of the Nexus One later this year.  And as if that weren’t enough for Android fans, new information suggests the wireless carrier will also launch its own version of the HTC Desire in or around June.

The Desire is a recently-announced Nexus One sibling powered by the same 1GHz Snapdragon CPU. Other features include a 3.7” AMOLED touchscreen, 576MB of RAM, GPS, a 5MP autofocus camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Android 2.1.

Because of its close relationship with Apple, AT&T remains the only one of the major four U.S. wireless carriers to not offer Android phones to its customers.  That will change on March 7, when AT&T launches the CLIQ variant, the Motorola Backflip.

Well, it’s not a Windows Phone 7 Series model, but today HTC took the wraps off a new Windows Mobile handset: the HD mini. 

The HTC HD mini is a smaller version of the HD2 Überphone, which is coming to T-Mobile in the spring.  The smaller form factor does come with compromises: the HD mini has a slower processor (600MHz v. the HD2’s 1GHz) and a smaller 3.2-inch HVGA display.  Other features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G wireless data connectivity, Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro with HTC Sense, 512MB of flash storage, 384MB of RAM, a 1200mAh Li-Ion battery, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

There was no official release date for the HD mini included in the press release, but you can expect the handset to hit the U.S. sometime after April.

HTC has posted an info page for the upcoming T-Mobile version of the HD2 Windows Phone.  Aside from giving us our first look at the T-Mobile branded handset, it also reveals updated memory capacities beyond those of the non-U.S. versions of the HD2.

The RAM, system memory, and the flash ROM, file storage, have each received a capacity boost.  The RAM has been increased from 448MB to 576MB.  More interestingly, the ROM has been doubled to 1GB.

Why make these changes?  Most likely to accommodate the version of Windows Mobile 7 expected to be made available for the T-Mobile HD2 later this year.

In addition to its internal memory, the T-Mobile HD2 will also ship with a 16GB microSDHC flash memory card.

We’ve known for some time that the HTC HD2 Windows Phone would be coming to the United States at some point in early 2010.  Today we learned that A) “some point” is the spring, and B) it’ll be T-Mobile that makes it happen.

Early this morning, T-Mobile announced that it will be the exclusive carrier of the HTC HD2 in the States.  There was no firm date of release given, but the HD2 will come sometime in April or May most likely.  Features include a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen and the full range of wireless tech.

“… the HTC HD2 adds up to be not only an amazing device, but an amazing experience as well,” said Jason Mackenzie, vice president of HTC America. “The HTC HD2 is a Windows phone that has already been enthusiastically received in Europe and Asia, and we are excited to bring this highly anticipated device to the U.S., exclusively through T-Mobile USA.”

If you can’t wait for T-Mobile’s U.S. version of the HD2, you can purchase this Windows Phone unlocked from Amazon.com or eBay.
