The follow-on to Motorola’s sporty and moderately popular (for a stereo bluetooth headset, anyway) S9 may not have launched yet — a disappointment, considering the original plan for a Q2 release when it was declare at CES — but perhaps a little last-minute paint job was the reason for the delay. We’ve at this time spotted the S9-HD in a bright white getup with blue accents, a far cry from the black of the model shown at CES (and presumably still slated for launch) or the red of the original, but let’s not kid ourselves: this one has a way better chance of finding its way into an ear canal or two. Hopefully we’ll see it within a few weeks — just in time for a successor to be launched at CES 2009, no doubt.

HTC’s already done a terrific job of going from anonymous Asian ODM to a major name player in the cellphone game, and it sounds like the company’s aiming for the next level — in an interview with the Commercial Times, CEO Peter Chou said the goal is to become one of the top three to five handset makers in the global market. That’s a pretty aggressive target for a smartphone manufacturer — competitors like Nokia and Samsung crank out millions of low-end dumbphones every quarter, and while there’s no denying the appeal of devices like the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, it’s plan to be hard to match those numbers. Still, with Android and the Dream on the horizon, anything’s possible — and HTC’s definitely got the chops to pull it off.
