The renowned designer Antoine Brieux has developed a new concept of HTC HDD. The HTC HDD features a 4.8-inch beast of a device with an unusual 870 x 480 AMOLED display — unusual, that is, until you realize that the extra 70 vertical pixels are reserved for a row of virtual softkeys that change depending on the application.
HTC HDD concept phone also includes 10MB camera with dual LED-flash and the ability to record HD-video with a resolution of 1080p, HDMI, Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with a clock speed of 1.5 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and 4G-support networks.

The LG eXpo is the HTC Tilt 2's competitor on AT&T. While the Tilt 2 features HTC's TouchFLO 3D that makes the smartphone much more fun and modern, the eXpo opts for impressive hardware like the 1 GHz Snapdragon CPU, good 5 megapixel autofocus camera, fingerprint reader and optional pico projector. Both sport a very ample slide-out hardware QWERTY keyboard and an 800 x 480 pixel resistive touch screen.

Windows Phone 7 onto HTC Touch Diamond

If there's any better argument for rigid spec requirements for Windows Phone 7 Series hardware, it's this video of an HTC Touch Diamond running the OS at an especially syrupy pace. Indeed, the lag is so severe that it could very well be some trickery in the form of a RDP client running on a 7 Series emulator, which is in turn running on a PC -- which, now that we think of it, is a pretty good possibility. Whichever way they achieved this feat, it's certainly not a recipe for a viable handset. But we do know that these sort of "ports" are only going to increase as time goes on. See for yourself after the break.

We're also seeing GPS and 8GB of integrated memory -- expandable to 24GB via MicroSD cards
