There is no doubt that HTC T8585 HD2 Leo has been a huge hit and is currently still raking up sales from all over the globe but even with its blistering performance and features it just won’t work with some people because of its bulky size. If you are among these people then its newly announced little brother, the HTC HD mini might just be what you are looking for. It packs just as much of a punch as the HD2 Leo except for the huge touchscreen of its predecessor- the HTC HD2 Leo which boasts of a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen, this time the HTC HD mini only offers a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display. With the HTC HD mini one can still expect to get a 5-megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, microSD card slot, 3G data connectivity, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a slew of sensors (ambient light, accelerometer, proximity sensor) and will still run on Windows Mobile 6.5 OS. If you love the HD2 Leo but want something in a compact form-factor then you’ll probably love the HD mini. Watch out for this baby as it is soon to be released in Asia and Europe this coming April but with no information on pricing at the moment
