We are literally drooling all over the place as we saw the recently announced specs for the HTC HD3 smart phone. Most of you may have already given up on the previous HTC HD2 when Microsoft confirmed that the device will not be compatible with Windows Phone 7 mobile platform.
While no word has been given regarding the OS that will be used for the alleged HD3, many are expecting this device to be the first HTC WP7 smart phone.
New to the HD3 is a large 4.5 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen. While we certainly enjoy having a big screen this certainly makes the phone significantly larger than many other devices already out. The screen will support playback of 1080p HD videos (the screen can handle up to 1280 x 800 pixels of resolution –higher than most net books) and the phone is able to record in 720p HD with the 8 mega pixel snapper with LED flash.
In any case, much like the upcoming iPhone 4G, it seems like 4G devices will make 4 inch screens the new standard. Speaking of which, yes, the HTC HD3 will indeed be 4G compatible. Expect to see killer connection speeds when going online with this device.
The 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor is possibly the new dual core version of the CPU. We can only wait and see how much of a difference 1.5GHz really gives –though we expect to device to be able to run some resource heavy games.
Okay, here is the part where we claim a bit of bullocks: the phone will only be 10mm thick –seriously, that much impressive hardware and they are saying that it will be thinner than the iPhone. Some things sound too good to be true –in case we are wrong, we are going to be the first in line buying this phone.
