Speculation was swirling that AT&T wanted their own exclusive HTC branded Android device and it looks like the carrier is about to make it's wishes come true. The HTC PC70110 has received the usual thumbs up from the Feds and this Android flavored device passed muster using AT&T's radio band. Calling this phone the PC70110 is a bit unweildy, so the device has been christened the HTC Aria. At launch, the Aria will rock with Android 2.1 under the hood, Sense UI on top and a landscape sliding QWERTY keyboard. The carrier's fans are seeking a high-end Android model and the crippled Motorola BACKFLIP just doesn't do it. The Aria might not do it either and with EVO 4G coming to Sprint, the pressure is really on AT&T to become a place where you can buy a high-end Android model. AT&T is expected to introduce the phone on June 7th.
