* 4.3-inch Mirasol display
* 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8660 processor
* 512MB of RAM
* 32GB of internal storage
* 8GB microSD card included
* 1.3MP front-facing camera
* 5MP rear camera
* MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) port for both microUSB and microHDMI
* DLNA connectivity
* Possible NFC chip – we haven’t been able to confirm this, but given recent rumors, it’s a strong possibility
* Bluetooth 2.1/3.0
* GSM/HSPA+ on AT&T and possibly a Verizon variant, but we’re not sure yet
* 9.25mm thick
* 120g weight
* 1700mAh Lithium Ion battery
* Solar panel on battery cover (hope you get a lot of sun in your area)

Looks lust worthy to me, especially that 32GB of internal storage. That solar panel might be next to useless though. :p

This is great. New display tech, a D-pad, and solar charging.

Now, about that bootloader...

EDIT: CHECK THE DATE

Looks interesting. Kind of curious how much the solar panel can actually charge the phone or if it's more of a gimmick than anything else.

I'm down. Solar panel might not be completely useless, I usually throw my cellphone on the passenger seat if I'm alone in the car. Could get a little boost from that.

edit: It is still April 1st, so who knows.

OMG this is ugly, seems like a shrunk kindle fushioned to a HD2 with a color screen. I hope its not for real.

It's not really far-fetched, especially if it's more of a marketing gimmick to entice the greenies than an actual useful feature. Wouldn't be the first phone with a solar cell on the back cover.

Yes we all know it's April Fools Day, yes it may not be legit. The specs aren't unreasonable, though, if it's a fake it's not an obvious one.

A phone really isn't that far off for them. We expect them to get into the tablet game and a phone isn't that far off.
