HTC wants you to christen a new phone and has flung up a Facebook poll to let you choose. Hop in to see which names HTC has offered up and help us suggest some better ones for the mysterious new HTC product that it promises will be “full of youth”.
There isn’t actually a lot of information on the mysterious new HTC product – we’re not even sure it’s definitely a phone – but what we do know is that it’s “something new” and needs a name that shows it’s “playful and full of youth.” That sounds like HTC is planning a social media beast like the Microsoft Kin or an Twitter-loving INQ phone.
The HTC Facebook poll offers up four options – HTC Jovi, HTC Zeal, HTC Wildfire or HTC Festi. The first one sounds like HTC’s been living on a prayer and listening to the blow-dried ‘80s hits of Bon Jovi, the HTC Wildfire brings to mind WWE wrestlers and the HTC Festi is…well…bit bobbins.
We’re a little disappointed with the limited range of options offered by the Facebook poll. Plus they don’t really fit with the previous HTC policy of ever more salacious handset names – the HTC Excalibur, HTC Cavalier, HTC Wings and, of course, the Android temptress that is the HTC Desire.
Nothing says “full of youth” to us more than the HTC ASBO but we’re pretty sure it’s not going to go for that one. Hit us up in the comments with your suggestions for a suitably overblown new HTC product name capable of beating the hyperbolic masterpiece that is the HTC Incredible.
