Microsoft has hinted at a new Windows Phone from HTC

HTC rekindled its close relationship with Microsoft for Windows Phone 8, but recently the Taiwanese phone manufacturer hasn’t really focused on Microsoft’s mobile efforts. That could be about to change. Speaking at a press conference at Computex today, Microsoft’s OEM division head Nick Parker hinted that HTC is preparing to return to Windows Phone. “I’d love to break some news here if I could,” said Parker, responding to a question about device 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.”

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.
