More than that, it also looks like there's a reasonable chance that the Leo will sport a capacitive screen per the video above, <a href="http://www.modaco.com/content/windows-mobile-news/292954/htc-leo-multitouch-telstra-firestone-awesome/" target="_blank">courtesy Modaco</a>, despite no official support under WM6.5<a href="http://www.modaco.com/content/windows-mobile-news/292954/htc-leo-multitouch-telstra-firestone-awesome/" target="_blank"></a>. There's also this almost <a href="http://www.wmexperts.com/htc-leo-comes-out-shadows" target="_blank">10 minute hands-on video</a> via WMExperts, which unfortunately is private which I couldn't view. But what struck me most was despite the massive 4.3" screen, the Leo isn't as unwieldy as the screen size would suggest. I'm getting intrigued by this device, anybody else willing to bite?</p>

Unfortunatly, it it is capacitive screen, no go for me. I rely very heavy on a stylus use.

HTC has a patent on technology to use a stylus with a capacitive screen - I'm hoping it'll turn up with the Leo, as I use the stylus a lot too.
