Verizon’s on a roll with Android handsets these days, first with the heavily-advertised Motorola Droid and the reclusive / unannounced Calgary, and now with this fleeting glimpse of Android hardware progenitor HTC. Yes, it’s got 3G (or the Verizon equivalent of it), Sense UI, a trackball just barely discernible on the bottom, and from what Boy Genius Report is saying no physical keyboard whatsoever — all virtual. We’re definitely sporting a Hero vibe, but really, would it really have too hard to find a decent light source for this shot?

The "there’s a map for that" ad was a pretty aggressive way to broadside AT&T and the iPhone, but it looks like Verizon’s just getting warmed up. We’re hearing that the carrier will be kicking off a major new campaign this evening during the Yankees-Angels game that’ll feature "a very different look and a whole new attitude," calling out the "iDevice" (their words, not ours) for all the things it can’t do. That’s a bold offensive for a carrier that historically has lacked breadth and depth in its smartphone lineup, but with the big new Android releases coming down the pike, this might be perfect timing — and a strong implication that we can seriously put those endless Verizon iPhone rumors to bed for a little while.

Verizon mentioned that it’d pick up "several Android-based devices" as part of its sweeping tie-up with Google last week, and we know two of them — a tweaked version of the HTC Hero and the unannounced Motorola Sholes / Tao / Droid — but what else is in the pipe? Turns out that Verizon’s historically boring Open Development program — designed to let anyone with a good attitude and some elbow grease gain the know-how to connect a device to Verizon’s network — is about to heat things up by spitting out an Android handset of its own in early 2010, according to Unstrung. Oh, and the best part? It’ll apparently feature WiFi tethering out of the box, a feature carriers are typically loath to support; of course, the whole point of "open development" is that Verizon theoretically shouldn’t care what’s being developed, so it’ll be interesting to see whether the company throws any marketing weight and retail support behind the device or if it’ll be left to fight for attention on its own.

Uh oh! Looks like the Motorola Sholes isn’t the only Android-totin’ kid hanging around on Verizon’s block.
According to BGR, Verizon’s cracking away at an HTC-made Android handset called Desire, which they plan to launch shortly after the standard approvals and regulations are dotted and crossed. And what do you know? Both the FCC and the Wi-Fi Alliance just gave it the thumbs up.
Expect more news sooner than later.
