HTC UK has created a Facebook Event, entitled “Join us to see what’s next”. It’s set for Thursday, September 1st at 6:30PM – 11.30PM in a yet to be revealed location in London.
Promising “the usual food, drinks, music and a few phone treats for you to enjoy”, invitation is by first come first served basis, although how to find out if you’re allowed to attend isn’t specified. Whoever is posting as HTC UK is replying to select posts with vague “Hope to see you there” and “Come along” comments on eager fans posts, but there doesn’t seem to be any firm confirmation. Are HTC really expecting to contain and cater for the 1039 currently “attending” when they show up en masse on the day?
We’ve also clicked “I’m Attending” and hoping for the best. There’s also emphasis on photographers being in attendance, and a whole terms and conditions to be read for the “camera shy” which is a bit bizarre. We don’t mind our mugs being caught on film, as long as we get to play with whatever gadgets are on their way.
We can only speculate as to which gadgets will actually be on offer on the night. Recently we’ve gotten a barrage of HTC rumours and snippets of future release information, this ranging from the 8 new handsets (including HTC Vigor and HTC Kingdom) which are promised before the end of 2011.
The event will give us “phone treats” but co-incidentally the HTC Puccini 10.1” tablet is slated for launch September 1st, so perhaps this will be the centerpiece of the night – and we can but hope to learn more about whatever HTC has up its sleeve as host to the Windows Phone 7 platform with Mango update.
