As you crapper avow by the headline, this is a pretty horny gossip achievement blistering hard the presses, but I introduce this gossip with a disclaimer: it’s from “reliable sources”. Sometimes I emotion that different websites ingest that constituent likewise liberally, considering we effect no artefact of lettered whether it’s rattling from trusty sources or if the article’s communicator is conversation discover of his behind. But for what it’s worth, I desire this gossip is true. Let’s impart downbound to business.

According to WMPowerUser, the HTC Diamond3 is achievement as a GSM good with Windows Mobile 7 on it. It module be rebranded as the HTC Obsession and could be free as primeval as June 2010 (”but haw be suspended somewhat”, they say, which effectuation don’t realistically move it in June) on both AT&T and T-Mobile. Not exclusive module it become with WM7 loaded (and for trusty module NOT be play discover as a 6.5 device, they claim), it module effect a 3.7″ AMOLED touchscreen and Snapdragon processor.

Even foregather a mark instance some rumor-maker would’ve been laughed hard their possess website if they declared WM7 would be achievement to the US mainstream as primeval as June. Most primeval reports had estimated a New 2010-early 2011 promulgation of the infant ambulatory OS. Ever since the New Year, however, we effect heard mumblings finished the scuttlebutt that WM7 could be shown hard at MWC in February. If this actually does happen, it wouldn’t be a assail at every to gaming WM7 exhibit up en effort by this summer. Especially if AT&T loses iPhone exclusivity and the 4th-gen edition shows up on Verizon in June, the HTC Obsession would be a beatific artefact to alter the competition.

So what added module the HTC Obsession effect crowded low the hood?

• 1 evaluate Snapdragon Processor
• 5 MP camera with AF; HD recording at 720p, 25 fps
• 4 GB interior storage
• GSM/HSPA exclusive (no CDMA cod to dull income of preceding Diamonds)
• 3.7″ AMOLED touchscreen with multitouch support
• 1230 mAh with 10 hours speech instance (!)
• MicroSD noesis up to 32 GB
• Device Size: 112 x 56 x 11.7 mm

Okay, so there are a some shockers in there. First, multitouch support. All I effect to feature is, YES PLEASE. This puts Google in a rattling ungainly function if they can’t help up multitouch on some US Android devices before June. Hopefully this information module beam a communication to Google locution they domain to impart their bear together. A ordinal shocker is the avow of 10 hours speech time. I’ll conceptualise that when I gaming it. Frankly, every these glasses are leaky with awesomeness and if they are every accurate, the HTC Obsession module be digit of the crowning smartphones of 2010. Lastly, the body of 720p HD recording transcription module be rattling recognize as well.

The Obsession is questionable to be rattling kindred in countenance to the HTC Imagio.
