Remember that leaked Android 2.1 ROM for the GSM HTC Hero from a few days ago? Looks like there was more to it than meets the eye. Tucked deep inside the ROM was a list of around 20 Android-based handset codenames, nearly all of which have never been seen.

The goods, as uncovered by maxisma over at AndroidSpin:

• Bahamas
• Bravo
• DesireC
• Dragon
• Dream
• Espresso
• Halo
• HeroCT
• HeroC
• Hero
• Huangshan
• Incredible
• Legend
• Liberty
• Memphis
• Paradise
• PassionC
• Passion
• Sapphire
• Supersonic

Some of these are handsets we’ve already seen hit the shelves (Dream = G1, Sapphire= Magic, Hero, etc) while others are codenames that were previously rumored (Passion, Dragon). Most, however, are brand new to the rumor mill. Might HTC really be working on 15+ new Android handsets? We can only dream.
