The HTC Merge is the mid-range Android smartphone formally know as the HTC Lexikon for the Verizon Wireless network, and today we have some hands-on video footage for your viewing pleasure which can be viewed below.

The HTC Merge hands-on video comes our way courtesy of the guys over at Daily Mobile and by way of Android Central and delivers almost five minutes of up close and personal time with the still unannounced reportedly Android 2.2 toting HTC Merge.

Spec wise the speculation is that the HTC Merge packs a 3.8 inch WVGA touch screen, 5 megapixel camera, 800MHz processor, HTC Sense 1.6, Android 2.2 Froyo OS, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage and a slide out QWERTY keyboard.

The narrator does say that the HTC Merge is your basic HTC handset but the build quality is really nice and the slide out QWERTY is a really good keyboard. So without further ado I’ll let you skip on down to hit that play button and enjoy the hands-on with the HTC Merge.
