First and foremost this is not a myTouch device but will launch with a set of impressive and sure to please specs."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/adt/auto/1313686084.usr309.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Wow, this looks nice to me!&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; One interesting design feature is it will have two dedicated camera buttons.&nbsp; One is for stills and the other is for video.</p><p>I'm usually not too excited about devices on T-Mobile but this one looks sweet!&nbsp; I would take this over the <a href="http://androidthoughts.com/news/show/115216/t-mobile-to-release-samsung-hercules-as-galaxy-s-ii-next-month.html" target="_blank">Galaxy S II</a> any day because of the screen with higher resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio if nothing else.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; My only concern would be battery life since this is coming from HTC and it's got some newer hardware.&nbsp; HTC doesn't have a very good track record with battery life on bleeding edge phones (Evo, Dinc, and Thunderbolt come to mind).&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; Is this the phone you've been waiting for?</p>
