Microsoft has hinted at a new Windows Phone from HTC

Could HTC be heading back into the world of Windows? That’s certainly what Nick Parker, Microsoft’s VP of OEM partners, was suggesting during a Microsoft press conference here at Computex. “I’d love to break some news here if I could,” said Parker in response to a question about manufacturing partners. “But instead I’ll just say that Microsoft will continue to have a great relationship with HTC. New things are coming, so get excited.” Parker was possibly talking about the much rumoured HTC W8. Sadly, this doesn’t appear to be a Windows Phone version of the much loved HTC One M8, but may instead be a Windows variant of the upcoming mid-range phone codenamed the HTC A9. Noted tipster @evleaks has been hinting at the W8 for some time now, most recently stating that it will be an exclusive for US network Verizon, landing in Q3.
