The HD2 hasn’t even been released and it may already be old news because some renders of the HD3 have hit the tubes of the Internet and this beast could be rocking Windows Phone 7 Series.

These photos are obviously renders and the “leaked” specs don’t really pass the smell test but it’s fun to imagine a device with:

  • 4.5? AMOLED screen with 1280×800 resolution
  • 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
  • 1080p HD video playback
  • 720p HD video recording
  • 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash
  • Multitouch screen
  • Super-thin – just 10mm thick
  • WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity
  • 4G connectivity for for blisteringly fast downloads that are over ten times as fast as today’s HSDPA phones
  • 1GB onboard RAM
  • 1GB onboard
  • 32GB external memory
  • 3.5? headphone jack
  • HDMI output for connecting to your HDTV or monitor
  • 1800mAh battery for super-long battery life
  • Bigger screen than the HD2, but a smaller overall physical size: 115mm x 65mm x 10mm

Some of these sound awesome but are impractical. The 1280 by 800 resolution isn’t even supported yet by WP7S, and I still think it’s too early for a mass market 4G smartphone. I’m sure HTC will deliver something really tasty with its WP7S and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. What would you want from an HTC WP7S smartphone?
