Thanks to Dieter for the lead on a slip up or huge soft launch from HTC over at Engadget. Apparently, the rumored (or sorta rumorted) HTC Touch HD has a new landing page on HTC’s website. The website (LINK) has all the specs, product tour, and more. Head on over to HTC.

…3.8-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera, and 3.5mm audio jack. Connectivity-wise we’ve got Europe-friendly HSDPA, GPS / A-GPS, 802.11g WiFi (we weren’t clear on that one before), Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR and a microSD slot. On the software side there’s TouchFLO 3D on top of Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro. There’s also a front-facing VGA camera for video calls, 512MB of ROM and 288MB of RAM. HTC expects the 1350 mAh battery to score you 390 minutes of 3G talk and 450 ours of 3G standby, with 120 minute video calls just for kicks. The phone measures 12mm thick.

From HTC’s Website…

Enjoy music videos, films and streaming like you never thought possible on a mobile device. Experience internet browsing so exhilarating… it feels like you never left your laptop at home. It’s all delivered to you on a pixel-packed 3.8” WVGA screen and seamlessly tied together with touch-responsive TouchFLOTM 3D. 

The ultrafast 3.5G technology lets you surf and download at true broadband speeds. On HSDPA networks, the Touch HDTM delivers downlink speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps – there is no need to slow down while you work or play.

The newly added Stock tab keeps you informed of the latest stock quotes, while the connected Home screen puts e-mail, messages and calendar only a finger-stroke away.

Get directions, view satellite maps and find your location using Google Maps. The maps are bigger and crisper thanks to the expansive screen. Tap the onscreen controls to zoom in and view more detail. This is navigation taken to a whole new level.

Highlights

  • 3.8-inch wide, WVGA (480 X 800 pixel) display offering a cinema experience on the go
  • Vibrant TouchFLO 3D user interface, responding perfectly to your finger gestures when scrolling through contacts, browsing the web, and launching media
  • Surf and download at broadband speed with HSDPA internet connectivity
  • Google Maps enhanced by the wide screen viewing platform
  • 5 megapixel camera for quality stills and video
  • 3.5 mm audio jack makes the Touch HDTM compatible with the majority of audio equipment available

Looking real nice! Good job HTC.
