Verizon subscribers, who have decided to pass on the Touch Pro2, may be interested in some new images of the HTC Imagio, formerly known as the Whitestone. The pics, obtained by PhoneArena, show not only the front, but also the back of the phone, which sports a retractable kickstand to make viewing media more enjoyable.

The HTC Imagio XV6975, what seems to be a hybrid of the Diamond2 and Touch HD, is rumored to launch on Oct. 6, along with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Marketplace. The World phone supposedly runs on a Qualcomm 7600 (528Mhz) processor, has 512MB ROM/256MB RAM, boasts a 3.6″ WVGA display and is equipped with a 5MP auto-focus camera (no flash). The device will also come with a 3.5mm headphone jack, in case there was still any doubt. The media button on the bottom row of hard keys is said to open Verizon’s VCast MobileTV. No word on pricing or a confirmed date yet, but PhoneArena says they’re hearing it will be out in the first half of October. Let’s hope that still means Oct. 6. If you’re itching for more images, check out diagrams of the front & back of the device.
