HTC Ignite may launch soon with Windows Phone 7

mobile

According to site xda.cn, HTC will launch the above handset — the HTC Ignite — in mid-2011, complete with Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system. The blog has a mixed record when it comes to predicting future hardware, but has acquired accurate, HTC-based information in the past.  The listed specs include an 800MHz Qualcomm processor, 3.7-inch resistive touchscreen display, 512MB of RAM, and 5 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash. Something is — obviously — not right here, as 800MHz processors and resistive touchscreens have been strictly forbade by Microsoft’s Windows phone Chassis standards (also: we’re not sure HTC makes a phone, of any kind, with a resistive touchscreen). It’s extremely speculative, but an attractive looking handset nonetheless. Let’s hope that this one does indeed make its way to market with a different rap sheet.

    Forget the 800MHZ . . . A resistive touchscreen? lmfao . . .I call pure BS on this one.

    I thought the Chinese market needed resistive for character recognition?

    Let’s hope this is a CDMA Global Roaming device for Sprint. That is so desperately needed. I has been waiting for WP7 for so many months, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel for Sprint users who travel internationally. HTC needs to get their act together, fast. HTC Arrive is a huge disappointment.

    Please tell me resistive was a typo…the hardware is way too sexy to be screwed up like that.

    I don’t mind resistive touch screens. Imam just wondering if, in the event this is true, it is running Windows Mobile instead of Windows Phone 7.

    Where, oh where is the dang Eternity? Do they even need to make another device?

    1.5Ghz 8255 snappy, 4.7″ SLCD display, 512RAM /16MB Storage,  and of course, a Microsoft/HTC messenger bag to carry this thing…

    Of course, no rumor on the CDMA version yet… Think they are waiting to do a WiMax WinPhone for a reason?
