What better way to kick off the week than with our favourite phones from the rumour mill; the HTC Ace and Vision. Whilst we do know a fair bit about the latter, the former remains very much a mystery but we can now add two new tidbits thanks to an online leak; their names.

Courtesy of a leak from Vodafone Germany, we now see that the HTC Ace will launch as the Desire HD whilst the Qwerty-packing Vision will go under the name Desire Z. The Vision has leaked previously and looks set to feature a slide out QWERTY keyboard with a unique snap-out mechanism that earns the Vision the Z in its name. Elsewhere the Desire Z is expected to include the Desire’s 3.7 inch multi-touch touchscreen, Android OS, a 1GHz processor and the same 5.0 Megapixel camera.

On to the Ace now and this is alot more speculative. The phone we now know as the Desire HD will be an Android touchscreen device and is more than likely to be the successor to the hugely popular Desire. Current rumours have it that the Desire HD will be a GSM variant of the HTC Evo 4G, the phone that debuted exclusively on the US network Sprint and combined 4G WiMax technology with a 4.3 inch capacitive touchscreen display, Android OS 2.1 (recently updated to 2.2 Froyo), 8 Megapixel camera and HD video capture. It’s the addition of HD to the Desire name that could prove that the Evo 4G is coming to these shores.

No word on an official announcement for either the HTC Desire HD or Desire Z so be sure to check back on the blog and we’ll let you know as soon as HTC go public with their next Android powered smartphones.
