What was that old advertisement that when someone spoke everyone stopped and listened? Well, Arne Hess is passing on a rumor and when it comes from Arne, it is one that you want to listen to. 

So what did he find out?  It’s rumored that the specs that were initially given for the HTC Athena were not quite as good as they really are.  In fact, if the NEW specs turn out to be genuine then as Arne said "the HTC Athena might become the 2007 uber device"

Let’s hope Arne source is accurate!

You can see the "rumored specs" after the jump!

Real Athena specs are as follows:

• Device is bit larger than the HTC Universal and more square, also it’s quite heavier than the Universal
• It’s about the same thickness
• It has a detachable keyboard which is partly made from clear plastic so when it works as a cover of the HTC Athena, you can still see basic information on the main screen like signal power or battery
• When keyboard works as a stand, the device stands on it (it’s communicating by the connector on the keyboard and connecting ‘pads’ on the side of the Athena when it stands on the keyboard and is kept together by strong magnets)
• Keyboard is kept in place by magnets in closed position as well
• Device has 5" VGA 640×480 screen
• Further features includes:
  • GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • W-LAN b/g
  • 624 MHz processor,
  • 8 GB drive
  • 3 megapixel camera with flash
  • GPS
  • 2200 mAh battery
  • G-Sensor
  • VGA out
  • Stereo speakers
  • miniSD
