Great specs for a great phone from a great manufacturer. In the future (just 2 years from now) htc will be the market leader in matter of phones, because they work to give us good and quality phones.

            David, 16 Mar 2010HTC HD3 could be true if HTC really means it, it's not a fe... moreI agree with that as well.... It's all about the MONEY $$$$$.... They just keep you buying new phones every year.... I use to do that but not anymore.... HD2 is just fine for me with or without the WM7 update...... Not buying a phone every year or six months......................

              The specs dont say "Windows Phone 7", just "Windows Mobile 7". So personally I think it's probably a fake, but its nice to dream.

                HTC HD3 could be true if HTC really means it, it's not a feat of engineering exactly, there are already non-brand phones in China that have those specs. The Mobile industry is holding back technology so they can milk the innovation cow by releasing "new" phones ever year and adding "innovation" updates.

                Oh com on people, we have spaceflight and bluray laser, we have memory card with 32 gigs smaller than a fingernail, we can put huge amounts of data in organic crystals that are smaller than teardrop, i have portable mediaplayer the size och matchbox with HDMI, you don't think HTC can make that phone, i personally think it's piece of cake.

                The only issue will be that if you release that many specs at the same time instead of "milking" technology, people won't have to buy new phone in 6 months or even next year, hence HTC looses out on profits in the long run.

                I hope HTC does this anyway.

                We already have all this technology, and even more

                    Anonymous, 16 Mar 2010Why is everyone crying about lack of multitasking on here? ... moreAgreed!

                    I'm on multitask android. Don't use multitasking all the time still battery runs out too quickly (background processes yeah!)

                    No-multitask means u can do things for more long while not bothering about the battery run-outs at the same time. No-multitask only brings respect to the phone battery and I love this idea!

                      Why is everyone crying about lack of multitasking on here?

                      It's not hindered the iphone's sales, and seriously....who uses 3 or 4 apps at the same time? Lets see. Browsing, Music.....and maybe a call? (which then negates the use of the other two).

                        I dont think that HD3 will be true,its too good. Even if they produce it,it will cost ~1000 pounds for sure.

                          Oh please GSMarena, the HD3 is just a concept phone, from the concept phones site. Those specs are awesome, but NOT true. :)

                                        Jin, 16 Mar 2010I totally agree with you.. 100% FAKE spex. I mean how the ... moreWell, it could be true (even though it is not)

                                        If it is about the same size as the HD2 (11mm or 10mm does not matter here), and you use almost the entire front for the screen, it could be 4.5 inch. While still being about the same size as the HD2.

                                        This is BS anyway. GSMArena: in the same article, you say what the supported resolutions are. If the HD3 has 1280 × 800 resolution... well it won't have 7 Series, for sure. So, what OS supports 1280 x 800?

                                        ;)
