The specs are most definitely fake (even if the design is not).
The only supported resolution for WPS7 is 800x480. Post release a lower res will become avilable but there has been nothing announced regarding anything higher.

This is more in the “wish” department than the “news” one, Microsofts WP7S sole supported resolution is 800 x 480 which means this is most probably a fake, unfortunately :(. Also these “specs” have been circulating for a few months already.

edit: Damn you beat me to it :P

What id like to see is a HD3 powered by tegra 2 with a Cortex A9 dual core 1GHZ processor :D a beast the size of this could certainly hold a battery big enough to make this possible.

this has got to be fake surely?

seriously guys, the skull n cross bone, the stupid resolution, the internal memory, the processor……

Agreed, theres also more…. that ram and rom are quite high (1gb each), 8MP camera which seems doubtful. HTC logo seems squished, battery capacity is way to high if it says what i think it is cause 1800mAH is a big battery, the HTC extended battery for the HD2 is 2000mAH and doubles the size of the HD2 almost on the back so no chance of having it slimar to stock but close to extended capacity.

Also the hdmi port, seriously guys? No way a HDI port would be on a phone :rolleyes:

If true, made of win, and I would probably end up with it, which is more than can be said for most of the smartphones currently available - none of them really offers anything over the Touch HD. This, on the other hand..

You sir need to take a look at the nexus one or htc desire

I'll reserve judgement on the Nexus One (although nothing I've heard about it so far jumps out at me) until my tried-and-trusted phone review site completes their review of it, but I've just had a look at the HTC Desire. It looks to be a very good phone, and if I were just now jumping into the smartphone market (i.e. looking for a new phone) then it'd be pretty high up on my list of possibilities, certainly above the Touch HD and Touch HD2. But it doesn't really bring anything new to the table for me - it just does what it does a bit better and smoother than the Touch HD, while looking a bit sleeker too perhaps. An evolution rather than a revolution - something to get instead of, rather than something to upgrade to.

In contrast, this supposed HD3, if the specs are to be believed for the moment, would offer a lot more - crucially, a screen of sufficiently high resolution/size to be fully functional online. Dimensions-wise - it'd still fit in my pocket, which is all it needs to do. The camera I'm a bit ‘meh’ about as I almost never use them. The bigger battery is a big plus, but the other really important things would be improved speed facilitated by the much faster processor and big RAM boost. If this were released now at a <£500 price point, I'd probably sell my Touch HD and buy this - it'd be a much more substantial upgrade than the HTC Desire.

Other than the resolution I don't see how this is so fake. 1GB of RAM is hardly massive considering the minimum allowed for a Win7 Phone is 256MB. Also HDMI output, is that that unrealistic? ZuneHD comes to mind, although the port might not be integrated an external adapter is not that hard to imagine especially given microsofts focus on video and pictures and ‘sharing’ moments. Also an 8MP camera isn't all that insane either… you have to bear in mind this is going to be a flagship smartphone device and so specs will have to be high.

Despite this I am kinda skeptical but if these specs are even remotley based on some kind of truth this will definatley be my next upgrade :D

the specs are too futuristic indeed. realistic for 2012 though…

HD3 isn't very imaginative.

It should of course be HD7. You heard it here first :D
