Update 2: Yeah. As pointed out in the comments, this is just a bad joke perpetuated. Move along, folks.
We're taking this with a decent grain on salt at this point, but what you see above supposedly is a render of the HTC Supersonic, which we've also come to know as the WiMAX-powered A9292 that appeared on a Sprint roadmap. Then there was that suspect screen shot that showed the Supersonic on T-Mobile running Android 3.0. So at this point, we don't really know what to think.
That said, note how the above renders appear to show a three-dimensional home screen transition, and the Android 2.1 app launcher (previous the app drawer tap thingy) has given way to a "Start" tab. Again: Real? Not real? We'll just have to see ... [Tus Equipos via AndroidOS]
Update: OK, let's through another wrench into this one. The below render is from GSM Help Desk, and we get a much better look at the buttons. Also it's being sold as the "Obsession," which last we heard was supposed to be one of the first Windows Mobile 7 phones. Oh, and Photoshopping the Chrome browser onto it? Yeahhh ...

That looks absolutely hideous, I really hope that is not Android 3.0. The GUI looks like something you'd find done by a first-time programmer as a final project, anyone else with me on that?
I will hold strong to Android 2.x if this is truly Android 3.x.
Somehow I doubt this is really Android 3.x.
it looks like an htc hd with some photoshop
I hate the 'start' button. gawdy.
didn't I read some where there wouldn't be a trackball? Sure looks like one on there to me
thats funny, i seen this earlier but as the HTC Obsession
to run Windows 7, NOT Android

FAKE FAKE FAKE !!!
I want to know where that Justin.TV widget is hiding...
These renderings are hard for me to believe simply because the weather widget shown is the same one used by Apple on Macs. Android is scare to release multi touch in the U.S. because of Apple why would they try and steal a widget?
all I want to know is if sprint will get this wi max phone. I am holding off on the Hero for annother phone. Looks can wait till we know who will carry
looking like a fool with your pants on the ground!
These were posted over a year ago as a concept by a guy who loves doing this sort of thing... http://www.talkandroid.com/android-forums/android-hardware/341-t-mobile-...
I saw a Leprechaun in my back yard and he was riding a Unicorn o_O
Could be a crack head.
'got a hold of the wrong stuff
The start button is hella gay
didn't I read some where there wouldn't be a trackball? Sure looks like one on there to me
Looking at the last picture, the thing in the middle look's like a mouse.
The RSS shows feeds from March 2009. It's a fake, obviously.
You guys are dumb
A "Start" button? Lord, if that's not a clue this isn't real...
To have even have doubted, for one second, that this could have been real is an epic fail of beyond epic proportions. Sorry, telling it like it is.
1. This same render has been used before to pose as another HTC device (I think it was as a G2)
2. It has a launcher button with start written on it...
3. The UI is obviously 1000 major steps back
4. The Android UI changes introduced in the Nexus One would already have been history?...
Sorry, but this is really bad.
Windows 7 Phone should only have 3 buttons.
Back, Start and search.
So I would think this is not real.
I do not like htc.
