Motorola and Verizon Tease “Main Event” on September 5th

Bring your cameras to work on September 5th, New Yorkers, because you could witness a sight that happens once in a blue moon: a horde of pasty tech journalists jogging en masse down the city streets. Nokia and Microsoft already had a press conference scheduled in NYC that day to talk up the Windows Phone Lumia lineup, and the hub-bub hints that it may be the unveiling of the first Windows Phone 8 device. Exciting! But that’s not all that’s in store for that fateful fall day.

Not to be outdone, Motorola and Verizon just shipped around a save-the-date of their own. The date: September 5th.  The location: New York City. The purpose: Motorola’s not saying… but we have a strong guess.

Since Verizon’s the co-sponsor and the tagline of the announcement is “Motorola On Display,” it’s not going too far out on a limb to guess that September 5th will be the grand unveiling of the so-called Motorola Droid RAZR HD, which has had several details leaked to the web in recent weeks. The Droid RAZR HD reportedly has a 4.5-inch true 720p display — hence the name — along with a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, world phone capabilities and on-board 4G LTE.

The fifth is just the tip of the iceberg for major September announcements; Samsung’s teased us with “Something Big” on the 1st and Apple is widely expected to unveil the iPhone 5 on September 12th.

Sprint and HTC Collaboration Event April 4th, HTC One X on Way?

Sprint and HTC sent out invitations today for an April 4th press event the two say will show off their, “latest collaboration.” Now what could these two be announcing that warrants its own press conference? Well, according to TechnoBuffalo, which cites a, “reliable Sprint source, the event will serve as the big unveiling for Sprint’s version of the much anticipated HTC One X. It could be called the “Jet,” according to s4gru, and possibly launch June 10th.

If the rumors are true, then the One X could launch in June, which is right about the time Sprint is expected to flip the switch on its 4G LTE network. An AT&T version of the phone has already been announced, but instead of using Nvidia’s hulking quad-core Tegra 3 processor, that phone will instead ship with a dual-core Snapdragon chip.

We spent some hands-on time with the One X at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and were blown away. The 4.7-inch phone’s 1280 x 720 Super LCD 2 display was a sight to behold. On top of its gorgeous display, the Android 4.0-powered One X packs Beats Audio, as well as HTC’s Sense 4.

But the real reason to get excited about the One X is the freakishly fast 0.7-second Image Sense camera. HTC equipped the phone with a dedicated camera co-processor, allowing it to snap pictures in an instant. Intel’s Atom Z2460-powered smartphone can pop off 10 pictures in the same 0.7-seconds, but it’s not close to shipping.

We’ll keep you updated on Sprint and HTC’s announcement when it happens early next month.
