An exec of the Australian carrier Telstra said that that they’ll get a phone that is better than the Palm Pre; the WebOS phone was announced just a few days ago and is already the one to compare the cool new smart phones with!!! Telstra’s smart phone will be from HTC and will run on Android with custom HTC Linux software. The only thing said about specs is that it will have a screen bigger than on any other HTC phone, which means more than the 3.8-inches found on the HD. The mysterious device is expected to be announced at the MWC 2009 in Barcelona next month, but we hope we will see WebOS models there as well!
