If you glance at this thing for just a fleeting instant, you might actually mistake it for a
Touch2 -- but it's not. A closer look at the button layout shows a decided lack of keys required by WinMo 6.5, which leads us to the logical conclusion that the so-called Touch.B here -- previously known under the codename "Rome" -- runs Android.
MobiFrance doesn't have any additional details on the phone, its specs, or where it might launch, but if it does in fact run on the Google juice, it's looking like a possible successor (or kissing cousin, perhaps) of the
Tattoo. Now that we look at it, we're not actually seeing the buttons that'd be required of an Android device, either -- and we
have heard rumors for ages now that HTC would be releasing devices running a homegrown dumbphone platform -- but we'll hold off on the conclusion-jumping until we get just a little more detail.

You'd have to be blind to not see the similarity to the Hero colors. I say it's a Sprint bound phone, and due to lack of its desirability would probably be available on SERO

shooting for a 1000 signatures.
is it just me or is this a cross between the verizon hero and the lg tritan ?
shouldn't it be Touch.A then?
