At this point, we can safely assume that HTC has a ton of Android-based devices coming down the pipe. So many, in fact, that one or two of them can manage to sneak into a wireless company’s inventory, and no one be the wiser. At least, not right away. There’s no telling how long the HTC Merge has been hanging out in Verizon’s inventory, or whether or not there’s actually any models floating around somewhere, but this screen definitely tells us that, at some point, Verizon either intends to sell, or intended to sell this Android-based device.
As you can imagine, there’s not much to go on here. Just the name of the device (Merge), who it’s manufactured by (HTC), and that it’s running Android. Oh, and that it’s a smartphone. Other than that, the details are non-existent. The real question is: when will HTC or Verizon come clean on the handset? Depending on the specs, that could fall anywhere between tomorrow and never. Or perhaps more importantly: which version of Android will it launch with?
