Those of you waiting on the Android-based HTC Sapphire handset for T-Mobile might be in for a small surprise. According to the Boy Genius Report, the U.S. targeted Sapphire will apparently feature a 5 megapixel camera instead of the 3.2 megapixel one. Yes, it’s a bit strange for HTC to come up with one SKU of the Sapphire for the U.S. and another one for other carriers elsewhere in the world.

Now as far as availability? Expect the Sapphire (or possibly known as the T-Mobile G2)  in July for $179 after a new 2 year contract.
