It has been a good news day for HTC Athena fans with the news earlier about T-Mobile’s planned launch of the Ameo and now we discover that the HTC commercial arm are going to release the device as the HTC X7500.

I must say that I prefer the device in black as the silver design that we have already seen looks rather 90’s. A few other things (semi)confirmed about the HTC X7500 are that it will include a 8GB Hard Drive, TV-out and a VGA-out connector.
It really is looking like an interesting device but I can’t imagine using it as a phone what would you look like holding that lump to your ear!? 😛
