Rumors of a new HTC Android smartphone, the HTC Scorpion, powered by a new ultra-fast Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, are doing the rounds, just days ahead of the 2010 Mobile World Congress.

The HTC Scorpion – or Olympian, according to some reports – will have a spanking new Qualcomm 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor at its core and will run the Android 2.2 operating system.
