The phone will sport a 3.7-inch WVGA display with 480 x 800 resolution and is going to run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system with HTC Sense 3.5. It will be powered by a single-core 1GHz Scorpion processor with an Adreno 205 GPU on a Qualcomm MSM8255 chipset and 768 MB of RAM.
A 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash & 720p video recording and a secondary VGA camera for video calling will be featured in the phone. The storage capacity is quite sufficient as well – 4GB internal storage and a 8GB pre-loaded MicroSD card (with support for microSD cards up to 32GB). The connectivity options include Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP & EDR, 3G, EDGE/GPRS and Wi-Fi. Let’s take a look at the specs & other features:

• 3.7-inch WVGA display with a 480 x 800 resolution
