WMexperts got heir hands on what looks like final renderings of the upcoming HTC Whitestone which should come to Verizon this fall and the low-end HTC Mega.

3.6-inch WVGA touchscreen
5-megapixel autofocus camera/Anti-handshaking

Contrary to what is said at WMExperts, the Whitestone is not the Touch Diamond 2. This phone has a 3.6″ screen and as you can see on the render, has a buton at the center with a little TV on it. This buton is either dedicated to launch a Verizon V-Cast application to watch TV or an other TV related services (it may have a DBV-T tuner). The phone also has a kickstand on the back side as seen on this early render:

The second phone is the HTC Mega which should take the place of the current HTC Viva in HTC’s product line. It will run the new updated HTC TouchFlo2D.
