Among the seemingly thousands of Android-powered HTC handsets rumored for the first half of 2010, little is known of the mysterious Espresso — the codename was found in a 2.1 ROM and a sketchy report claims that it’ll have a QWERTY keyboard for an MWC announcement, but other than that, we’re in the dark. Anyhow, Italian site hdblog.it now claims to have some shots ripped off the Espresso’s display, and at a glance, you can tell that isn’t quite the Sense we’re used to from the Hero. The bar along the bottom now features direct access to public — a feature we’d already heard would be revised for HTC’s next

round of Android phones — and app icons have apparently been graced with translucent surrounds that are… well, not precisely pretty. We’ve got to keep our opinions in check until we actually see a shipping ROM, of course, so hopefully those talks of an MWC unveiling in February pan out.
