Lucky folk over at The Verge have been asked by HTC to put all plans they had for the 19th of September on hold and reserve the date a special announcement. The event will take place in New York City at 11AM EST. According to The Verge, "there isn't much to tell from the invite other than a slightly Metro-looking logo at the bottom." We are guessing it's going to be the unveiling of HTC's Windows Phone 8 offerings as it was rumoured that they were going to be doing so some time in September.

We pretty much expect to see the previously rumoured three devices on show; the flagship "Zenith", the midrange "Accord" and the entry-level "Rio." The Low-end "Rio" will be no slouch though, boasting of an impressive (for a low end device)4-inch WVGA display, 14.4Mbps HSPA, a 5-megapixel camera with 720p video recording, 512MB of RAM and a Qualcomm MSM8227 Processor. The mid-range "Accord" will feature a 4.3-inch 720p Super LCD 2 display, an 8-megapixel Camera with 1080p recording, 42Mbps HSPA+, NFC support (Wallet Hub and Tap&Send), 1GB of RAM and will be powered by a dual-core MSM8260A Processor. The "Zenith" will come with a 4.7-inch 720p Super LCD 2 display, an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, 42Mbps HSPA+ and an unnamed quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon.

All three devices are expected to ship this year, with Rio and Accord coming in October and the Zenith launching sometime later in Q4
