So i'll think twice before i get another HTC.

I'm guessing they used parts initially meant for the HD2, which they knew wouldn't sell much after MS's announcement. Not that big a loss for them, I guess. But we'll have to wait for a couple of teardowns before that theory is confirmed.]]>Mar 27th 2010 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/Mar 27th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/....and 720p HD shooting and playback

Allow me to introduce you to this little place called "the rest of the world" (where there still are HD2s available in stores), in particular this little country called "Taiwan" where HTC makes their phones and presumably has a huge stockpile of electronic components which they mix and match to make phones. Of particular interest are the 4.3" screens, the 1GHz Snapdragon processors, and a good percentage of the body, which these two magnificent beasts share in common: http://pocketnow.com/html/portal/news/0000009229//supersonic.jpg

Anyway, what I'm saying is, I'm sure the HD2s that have been made already will sell out eventually (MS is not discontinuing 6.5), and the parts that were originally intended for the HD2 will be used in newer phones.]]>Mar 27th 2010 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/
I know that there's the 8 megapixel camera and HD video recording and stuff. But I bet that if HTC had been releasing the HD2 NOW instead of however many months ago, it would have included all those things. ]]>Mar 27th 2010 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010/03/24/htc-evo-4g-announced-the-biggest-the-baddest-smartphone-ever/]]>Mar 27th 2010 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/camera is better as well, and unfortunately, no hw buttons]]>Mar 27th 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://gadgetmix.com/index/streak-mini-5-review/]]>Mar 28th 2010 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/Mar 28th 2010 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/Mar 27th 2010 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/Yep if HTC says to me pay me $400 and i'll get you an hd3 by the end of year I would.]]>Mar 28th 2010 2:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/Mar 27th 2010 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/Mar 27th 2010 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/shocker-htc-plans-windows-phone-7-series-device-by-years-end/
Completely agree ... all except for the last bit, you're all alone on that.

In reality, and from my observations, HTC will probably make it around these specs:-

1Ghz processor
4GB Storage
5mpx camera, SD video recording
1000 mHa battery.
