We’ve got a ton of new information on the HTC Leo thanks to a thread at XDA, including a list of full specifications. There are some surprises, some mysteries, and some things to drool over. Click on to see.
As a preface to this information, we should mention that the Leo/HD2 isn’t official yet, and that some of this information could just be speculation on the part of XDA forum user B3ler3fonte.
1. The Leo/HD2 will be released with Windows Mobile 6.5.1, which is a new version of the operation system that once again revamps the interface (see our videos for more)
2. The Leo will support Windows Mobile 7 (or more specifically as stated in the Spec sheet: support Multi-Touch capability for WM7 Chassis)…this doesn’t necessarily mean that an upgrade will be issued by HTC, but that it meets the requirements needed to run the operating system
3. The screen is made of glass
4. The Leo/HD2 comes with a 3G to WiFi router utility
5. The spec sheet lists a mysterious “Cinema mode” button on the device
6. The battery is just 1230mAh, which is a bit small
7. The device has an awesome 320MB of RAM, more than any HTC device to date
8. There is no TV-Out
9. The device comes with a magnifier function, perhaps for text entry (similar to the iPhone for cursor placement)
And the specs…
