HTC Firestone Images Leaked with Impressive Specs

So far we've only seen some grainy mock-up pics of the HTC Firestone, expected successor to the Touch HD, so these leaked images of the phone look pretty fantastic. What's more, the specs for the phone look even better.



As you can see from the image, the HTC Firestone is supposed to run Windows Mobile 6.5, which is only mildly exciting, but certainly better than 6.1 running inside. This pretty thing is supposed to come out in August, though, so we should be able to see this thing in action soon. Here's the full rundown:

• GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS2100.


• GSM and HSDPA connectivity


• Windows Mobile 6.5


• 3.6 inch WVGA touchscreen display transflective TFT, 65,536 colors


• 600Mhz Qualcomm 8250 processor


• 256MB RAM and 512 MB ROM


• Micro SD card slot


• Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR


• 802.11b, 802.11g Wireless LAN


• AGPS


• Gyro Sensor


• 3.5mm headphone jack


• 8MP camera

Pretty darn impressive. But HTC has been impressing us pretty consistently, so let's hope this is a regular occurrence.
