It’s leaking today…Hot on the heals of the mysterious HTC device spotted in the metro he comes the recently rumored at Pocketnow button-less HTC Android device posing in the wild too. The back of the device looks identical to the ugly HTC Incredible and the front shows that there’s no hardware buttons, unless there are capacitive and only light up when the phone is on (that would be stupid…). I really wonder how that thing will work given that Android relies heavily on the phones hardware buttons to access all the applications and device menus.The phone is also Verizon branded like the Incredible. More pictures after the break:
