Default High End Phone HTC Ruby Spotted for T-Mobile

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/08/htc-...droid-goodness/

"While the HTC Ruby is a bit of a mystery device a ninja source of ours we’ve been able to gleam a little bit of intel surrounding the specs and eventual launch. First and foremost this is not a myTouch device but will launch with a set of impressive and sure to please specs."

Wow, this looks nice to me!  The HTC Ruby will supposedly have a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, a 4.3" qHD (that's 540x960) screen, an 8MP rear camera, 2MP front camera, Bluetooth 3.0, and 1GB of RAM.  One interesting design feature is it will have two dedicated camera buttons.  One is for stills and the other is for video.

I'm usually not too excited about devices on T-Mobile but this one looks sweet!  I would take this over the Galaxy S II any day because of the screen with higher resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio if nothing else.  I'm guessing the CPU is the latest Snapdragon which uses the Adreno 220 GPU, which is supposed to be faster than anything else out from what I've read.  My only concern would be battery life since this is coming from HTC and it's got some newer hardware.  HTC doesn't have a very good track record with battery life on bleeding edge phones (Evo, Dinc, and Thunderbolt come to mind).  What do you think?  Is this the phone you've been waiting for?
