We got yet another portion of leaked HTC Ville live photos, garnished with a nice specs sheet. The Android smartphone is expected to be unveiled by HTC at their press conference on February 26 and slide beneath the Edge in the company's chain of command.
The HTC Ville will reportedly be the slimmest HTC smartphone to this day, having a profile of just 8.9mm. Previously we heard that the Ville will measure just 8mm, but 8.9mm sounds quite great too, especially for a mid-range device. To achieve this, the Taiwanese used a qHD AMOLED panel, which is supposed to have a diagonal of 4.3".

A 1.5 GHz dual-core CPU will be keeping things going under the hood, while Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Sense 4.0 will provide the eye-candy at the front. The chipset which will power the Ville hasn't been specified just yet, but we are guessing it will be the MSM8260 Snapdragon which we came to know from the Sensation XE.
The HTC MWC event is now just 20 days away, so we'll soon find out the complete specs sheet. As you probably already know, we'll be on site covering it live for you, and making sure you don't miss a thing.

New HTC Ville photos leak, slim waistline and specs reconfirmed

HTC's financial results for the last quarter of 2011 are out and they are not so good. Furthermore, the company expects Q1 2012 to follow the same path.

Despite profitable Q2 2011 and Q3 2011 results the Taiwanese company has taken a hit in its sales in the last three months of 2011. As a result, the revenue plummeted 25.33 percent QoQ, and just 2.49 percent year-over-year to $3.44 billion (NT$101.42bn).

Profits have also taken a toll falling 12 percent year-over-year to $933 million (NT$27.5bn). On the upside, though, HTC have stepped up their game compared to 2010 and for the whole 2011 the revenue was $15.73 billion (NT$465.79bn), which is 67% up year-over-year.
In its business outlook, HTC doesn't expect any miracles happening in the first quarter of 2012 with a revenue expected to be around $2.2-2.4bn (NT$65-70bn) with a gross margin of 25 percent.
Nevertheless, HTC seems confident and "...despite short-term difficulties, momentum will resume in the upcoming product cycle driven by HTC’s brand strength, innovation, and design/engineering capabilities."
Undoubtedly, the Taiwanese company will have the chance to justify its optimism in the end of the month during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. There, the company is expected to unveil its new "Hero Strategy", emphasizing on quality (high-end specs) rather than quantity (multiple higher midrange phones).

HTC had an overall good 2011, but an unimpressive Q4

A Dutch PR site broke the news that HTC will be releasing an Ice White color version of the HTC Sensation. To sweeten the deal, the phone will launch with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. The whole Sensation line will be getting ICS too.
The press release goes over the selling points of the HTC Sensation - 4.3" qHD screen, 8MP camera and so on. The Ice White version will have all those things too.

The Ice White HTC Sensation is supposed to launch on March 1.
The good news for owners of any Sensation (including the XE and XL) is that they'll be getting Ice Cream Sandwich as an Over-the-Air update soon. No separate date was given for the update, but those things are never simultaneous anyway.
The machine translation from Dutch is a little sketchy, but it seems that Sense UI will be updated too, with a shortcut dock at the bottom of the screen.
