HTC may be capable of making heroic smartphones, but it certainly can't contain leaks of its unannounced devices.
The HTC T8788 looks set to join the brotherhood of Windows Phone 7 handsets due for a "holiday release." Engadget has apparently unearthed information on a touch-screen HTC slider destined for AT&T shelves in the U.S. But what's different is that instead of a QWERTY keyboard, the phone slides open to reveal a built-in speaker. There's also a kickstand around back, which will help make the T8788 more convincing as a portable media player.
That's about all the information there is for now, although there's a good chance it could make an October launch if speculation on the Web is to be believed. In the meantime, Microsoft will be releasing its Windows Phone developer tools on September 16, so developers have some time to code their apps and games in time for the official launch.

Interesting. Looks just like the rumored phone in this topic. Perhaps they'll both have sliders? Should be good for those wanting a touch pro 2 style keyboard.

Could this be the first of the dual core processors? They were supposed to start showing up by the end of 2010. And knowing that there was supposed to be a leap in tech made me wait.

It's been a challenge but I'm glad I haven't upgraded for just this reason.

Good because it looks like the HDMI port was the reason for the capped graphics on the evo. I would rather not have it than deal with that headache but theirs always the possibility this supports HDMI out via micro USB

There is zero chance of HDMI output via usb. The whole HDMI out and DLNA thing is still in it's infancy.

Yeah to bad the sgs line support it and sumsung sales the adapter

Yea it might have dual processors. Idk but I think it might.

Only reason im not getting it is because its not a 4G phone. I'll wait till 2011 for dual core LTE phones.

It is too early to tell what it is or isnt. And look at sprint, they have 4g phones but maybe some areas have 4g towers, heck they have not finished building all the 3g towers. I am no rush to get an LTE phone because about time they get it all ready it will be time for me to buy a new device anyway.

Im sure Verizon might have some LTE towers out but they're only releasing LTE tablets and broadband cards this year. The phones wont be here till 2011.

Also Sprint might switch from WiMax to LTE for obvious reasons.

Yep I saw that phone, its different, it has a speaker that slides in place of a sliding keyboard.

The phone looks nice though. Only concern is that HTC doesn't care about battery life. I had the Evo and now the Incredible and battery life on those aren't as long as my X's and Droid's.

 

[pc747]

Well I am going back and forth with myself whether to wait for this or get the x. One minute im waiting, next Ima get the x.

Patience is a virtue so I am tring to lean on patience. Ill give up a lil battery life for dual core.

There's gonna be a lot more high end HTC and Moto phones coming out in the future. Reason why I upgraded a line for the X and I'll upgrade to an LTE phone in 2011.

Or just get the 16 GHZ Samsung Captivate.. <g>

 

[jroc]

I dont think this is a slider. Look at the power button. And this is an Android phone. U can see the 4 square, 1 white button on this one.

That's hilarious!

If this phone is an World phone I will give My Droid X to my wife. I buy this one.
