1280×720 on a 3.8" screen? That's just crazy. It's hard enough to see single pixels on a 800×480 3.7" screen. If this phone is real, they're just building it to win the spec race, rather than building a practical phone. 800×480 is enough for a screen that size, I'd rather have it last longer on a charge than to have a "real" HD screen that I can't actually resolve all the pixels on unless it's 2 inches from my eyes.

Also, from OLED-Display.net, linked to the OLED Association

There are some rumors that LG Electronics want to roll out a new mobile phone called Apollo with Windows Mobile 7.
The display is a 3.8-inch capacitive AMOLED Display “Multitouch Supported the resolution is WXGA 1280 x 720 px. Launching: August/September 2010
This must be a completly new AMOLED Display, Samsung Mobile Displays does not have this display in there portfolio. Or LG Display produce this AMOLED?

Have LG ever made a screen?

I know people who work with 1920×1200 5" AMOLED screens. You need a diamond substrate and a very clean environment. The technology is out there, but not affordable, or useful for a mobile device.

I bet it's all true, but it won't have a 3.5mm audio jack! 10MP camera, 1GB each RAM & ROM, but a set of cheap headphones that plug into micro USB!

yep you're right! I had mistaken QSD8650 with 8672 (which is a behemoth). My worries about whether the HD2 can run the media version are now much less.

Most of this has to be crap, I'm sure. Well, maybe not most but much of it.

There's many reasons why I think this, but the simplest is this, when did someone release such a perfect device? If this phone comes out with those exact specs listed (even if it's missing one or two, come on, still unbeliveably amazing) and right after the summer no less, would you ever want anything more out of a phone?

Even the HD2 has a bunch of flaws and shortcomings in specs, but this thing would just be asolutley perfect. All the RAM and ROM you could ever want or need, a maxxed out 10MP camera, HD screen and HD recording, WM7, AMOLED screen and as I say even the release date seems way to good to be true.

If it's true it would be awesome, because as I've always said WM7 needs to innovate and not merely update WM to bring it in line with where Android and iPhoneOS and the rest are at currently. And if these specs are true it would suggest WM7 is going to be totally innovative… HD screens on phones are non-existent, 10MP camera on smartphones are non-existent as far as I know… if WM7 is the first to have these things then it will finally have a shot at real success in today's market.

But… I just can't buy all this, like I said no manufacturer making any form of consumer goods has ever made something so perfect as this phone sounds to be. I would imagine this to just be a 'standard' WM7 phone since some of the specs seem too good to be true now but will not towards the end of the year, but some of them are just unbelievable.

I guess you haven't been looking at the right notebooks. My now last generation Vaio Z, 13.1" (the smallest 13" available is 13.1" and most notebooks are 13.3) sports a 1600×900 resolution.
