The guys over at GSMArena claim to have been tipped off on the full specs of the HTC Touch HD which we posted about yesterday. If they are the real deal then this device just looks better day by day. They claim that beautiful looking 800 x 480 screen is a whopping 4" in size. Not only that but GPS is onboard too, full details after the break, now I have never been this excited about a Windows Mobile device before.

Modaco have spotted what looks to be a very high end HTC device that we haven’t seen before. Looking at the pictures, this device looks very thin and has a fantastic 800 x 480 touch screen. An accidental leak (ahem) right when the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is just about to launch too. There is no keyboard or D-Pad so this device must be geared towards an all out touch experience although it does have a stylus, it looks a bit more like what we were expecting a Touch revamp to be so maybe the Opal was just a smoke screen. Pictures and specs after the break.
