We got a brief, vague glimpse of the HTC Ozone on the way to Verizon earlier this month, but a full-bodied spec list has recently bubbled up. The QWERTY candybar will be running Windows Mobile 6.1, support EVDO rev. A as well as quad-band GSM, Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth, unlocked GPS, and a 2.4″ QVGA screen. It might not be packing the same cool Inner Circle feature as the HTC Snap, but it sure has the form factor down pat. Tempted? Online sales are rumoured to begin June 29th., and hitting up stores proper on July 13th. The Ozone will run you $49.99 on a two-year plan, $119.99 on a one-year, and $359.99 outright after rebates.
