Here is the first press shot — render, actually — of the HTC Saga (Desire 2?) running the new version of Sense (likely 3.0), as evidenced by the grid icon in tray, which has replaced the up arrow. Both the handset and the latest version of the UI are expected to debut tomorrow at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

So far we’ve seen Saga (tipped as Desire 2 by Vodafone and Expansys) in smaller render form as well as in the wild preparing to board a Taiwanese commuter train, followed more recently by some close ups. We’re not sure of any of the specs at this point, although we’d expect a single-core processor, improved camera, and probably more RAM than the first Desire. Profile shot below.
