I hate to do this, but it is starting to make it’s way around the Internet. I have no way to validate this of course, but pictured to the right might just be the replacement for the TyTN II/Kaiser. Meet the HTC TyTN III, code named Raphael! Could this be part of the “Big” announcement that HTC has in store for us on May 6th? Could it be sporting some new Manilla Bling? Is it possible that the TyTN III could finally have a VGA screen and video out capabilities like the Sony XPERIA? We’ll have to wait till’ at least May 6th to find out when HTC makes it’s “Big” announcement! Below is a quote taken from coolsmartphone which seems to be the source of the first TyTN III / Raphael Rumors:

The first handset looks very interesting – a rather capacious full QWERTY keyboard, 3G capability (due to the face-pointing video camera) and touch-sensitive navigation controls. Now, we’d say there’s a chance it’s perhaps the same handset as the two on the right, just rotated and with an open keyboard. Then we’d be prepared to say that this may be a handset we’ve heard about already – the HTC Raphael (TyTN III). So, is this the first shot of the HTC TyTN III ? Well, read on for our thinking behind this one. :) Is this also the first proper look at the new HTC interface (Manila – third handset along) ? We’ll have to wait a bit longer to see what transpires early next month. :)
