Contrary to the earlier rumors that the HTC Leo would be a flip phone, news has now surfaced that the forthcoming HTC handset might in fact carry a regular monoblock form factor, like the iPhone or HTC’s own Touch HD.  A full spec sheet was recently unearthed on ai.rs blog, which, while confirming the Snapdragon CPU, also revealed:

• 4.3 inch WVGA (480 x 800) capacitive touchscreen display
• 5MP autofocus camera with dual LED flash
• Quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity and dual-band HSDPA connectivity (900/2100 MHz)
• WiFi
• GPS, A-GPS
• Accelerometer with light & proximity sensors
• 3.5mm headset jack
• 1GHz MSM 8250 Snapdragon CPU with 512MB flash memory, 320MB RAM
• MicroSD card support
• 1230 mAh battery
• 121 x 67 x 11 millimeters

From the looks of it, the Leo is going to be one fast (and big) cellphone, but nothing is concrete right now including its name (as Leo is just the codename) until HTC thinks it’s the right to reveal so, which we hope will happen pretty soon.
