![HTC Leo Edition Clamshell Smartphone Enters the RumorMill [With aTouchFLO 3D 2.5 Manilla ROM User Interface]](http://nexus404.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads2/alt/htc-omni-horizontalpostvotbox17090_.jpg)
Word is that HTC plans to release a new well-spec-ed clamshell smartphone to the market. Dubbed HTC Leo, the mobile sports the stylish TouchFLO 3D 2.5 Manilla ROM user interface, comes with a full-QWERTY keypad (which looks generous), an external QVGA display and an internal 16:9 WVGA display with an 800×480 resolution.
Other than that, the rumor has it that the new HTC Leo is expected to boast support for OpenGL 2.0 like the iPhone 3GS, would pack a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and should run on Windows Mobile. A follow up to the HTC Universal and much like the HTC Omni, given the size of the new HTC Leo looks more like a MID (mobile Internet device) than a smartphone.
Although HTC may be planning to return to the clamshell shape with the Leo, we don’t have a release date or any official specifications regarding the new mobile, so we’d much rather take it with a pinch of salt rather than being disillusioned.
