Mobile phone events in New York (and subsequent liveblogs) are a dime a dozen this time of year as manufacturers ramp up for the busy holiday season.  Just a few weeks after Samsung's Galaxy Nexus reveal and Motorola's DROID RAZR announcement, HTC has kindly invited us to a press event in New York City today to show off their latest mobile creation.

All signs point to the HTC Rezound, a high-end Verizon Android smartphone that's packing 4G LTE, a 720p HD display, and Beats audio; but if you've followed these events in the past (as I'm sure you have, loyal reader!), you know that surprises can happen.  Could we see an HTC-official preview of Ice Cream Sandwich?  HTC Sense 4.0, perhaps?  A smartphone that does all of your holiday shopping for you?

Join me starting at 3:00 PM Eastern/12:00 PM Pacific for an afternoon of wit, bad jokes, and live updates (likely in that order) as we find out what HTC has up their sleeves!
