HTC Marvel Hits FCC, Heading For T-Mobile

Back in May, a leaked T-Mobile roadmap revealed a wide variety of delicious smartphones waiting to come out of the oven. One of the handsets getting close to making its entry is the HTC Marvel that's slated for a July 15th launch. The handset has just passed through the FCC, indicating it should be right on time.

The HTC Marvel is essentially the T-Mobile version of the HTC Wildfire S for which we did a full review back in April. The FCC documents label the handset as only PG76240 and indicate that the device will sport T-Mobile's GSM and WCDMA bands.

The Marvel should feature a 3.2-inch touchscreen and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera similar to what's offered on the Wildfire S, but it will have a slightly more powerful 800MHz Qualcomm SnapDragon processor. The handset will most likely come running Android 2.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense floating on top.
