Default An Unrealistic, But Cool, Fake HTC HD3 Windows 7 phone

http://www.concept-phones.com/htc/h...antoine-brieux/

First off, let's be crystal clear: this is a work of pure imagination, not some sort of leaked image of the next HTC HD device. What's so impressive so me is the quality of the mock-ups...you'd never know that this was a mock-up of a phone that doesn't exist...until you look at the specs, because that's where things start to look a little too creative. The creator wants a 1.5 Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, but as far as I know, that speed of processor doesn't exist yet. The 1 GB of RAM seems like overkill, but the 16 GB of internal storage sounds about right. The 4.5 inch screen running at 800 x 1280 sounds cool, but that's not supported resolution of Windows phone 7. 4G? Nah, we won't see that yet. USB host? Nope, not compatible with Windows phone 7. 8 megapixel camera that can record 720p video? Maybe...just maybe. I've heard rumblings about phones this year being able to do HD capture.

So that's the mythical HD3. What would your dream Windows phone 7 device have on it in terms of hardware? Yeah, I know you want copy and paste, but what about the hardware?

I don't know Jason. None of those rumored specs sound unrealistic to me, except possibly the resolution and USB host.

You would know more about that than I, but the rest of it sounds very feasible.

Cool, thanks for sharing the links. I stand corrected - I had no idea there was a 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon! I know the new 7 phones are going to be high-end, but I'm not convinced they're going to be quite this high-end...would be sweet though!

Your welcome.

It's actually looking like it could be a very sweet year for Microsoft. Well, from the time they get the first unit to the public. I'm not going to judge wp7s until it's in my hands and test driven. I believe they can get it right.

I wish more people had your attitude - it seems most of the people in these forums want to condemn Windows phone 7 before laying their hands on it.

I think its just the nature of change. Some people don't like the idea of it. I'll be honest, based on what I'm hearing I'm a bit concerned about whether WP7S is going to be for me. And that's based on my use case.

But I'm still very excited about it. I can't wait to see what really ships later this year. I would love to have Zune on my phone.
