For those over in Europe who have been hoping that HTC would release the new HTC EVO 3D smartphone outside US shores, the word has come in that the Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone is destined for Europe.

According to an article over on Android Community by way of German site Smartdroid, HTC France used their official Twitter account to announce that the HTC EVO 3D would indeed be coming to European shores.

Here’s what @HTCFrance tweeted…” Un #HTC Evo 3D pour la France ça vous dit ? Nous oui ! Et même qu’il garde le même nom 😉 Date de dispo non confirmée,” which basically means France will gain the HTC EVO 3D under the same name.

However, just when Europe will actually see the launch of the Android smartphone isn’t known or even if other European countries will get the handset, but I can’t see why the HTC EVO 3D would only be release din France outside the US, can you.

So if or more to the point when the HTC EVO 3D comes out to play in Europe will the device be high on your shopping list?
