We recently saw what appeared to be the HTC Desire HD, which has also been named the HTC Ace. While there’s been no official announcement from HTC about the device, it hasn’t stopped one online retailer from putting up a product page for the handset.

The handset appears on Amazon.co.uk with no photo and no specifications. However Amazon appear to be the shippers of the handset rather than a third party. They list the release date as October 1st. They also have a retail price of £415. If the handset does exist, based on the leak specs, a price point of £415 would be really great, as currently the HTC Desire can be picked up for £399.99 in the UK and I’m sure many would rather pay the £15 extra, to get the higher specced device.  Officially we should find out September 15th from the HTC press event if the handset exists.

Is this the HTC Desire HD?


Over the past few days, there’s been many rumors about HTC releasing a HD version of the popular HTC Desire. A picture has now surfaced which is rumored to be the HTC Desire HD. Specs of the device are unknown at the moment but there are again, some rumors of what the device will feature.

It sports an aluminum body, similar to that of the HTC Legend. The screen is rumored to be 4.3 inches with a resolution of 800×480 and comes with a 1GHz processor. Like the Desire, it should have Android 2.2 on and have support for MicroSD cards. What makes it HD however, is the 8 megapixel camera with 720p video recording capability. It will also be able to play the videos back, along with having Xvid support, something that’s missing from the current Desire, unless you download RockPlayer (free) from the Market.
