Leaked: HTC Runnymede

The rumored HTC Runnymede just got some official-looking product shots, courtesy of the Chinese website ePrice.  As you can tell from the image, this is no shabby render buy a blogger -- it looks like the same thing that will come with press releases when HTC does announce the phone.

The most notable part of all this is the Beats Audio branding in the back, which likely makes this the first recipient of that $309 million purchase from last month.  We're not sure if having the logo means this will deliver a highly-improved audio experience, be ridiculously expensive (like those similarly-branded headphones) or both, however.

Leaked details of the HTC Runnymede include a 4.7-inch capacitive display (480 x 800 resolution), an 8.0 megapixel camera module with dual LED flash, a front-facing 1.3 megapixel video cam, a 1.5Ghz single-core processor,768MB of RAM and either 16GB or 32GB of onboard storage. Of course, you can expect the usual wireless connectivity features, along with other modern smartphone standards.

If this sounds like the HTC Titan, it probably is -- except with Android (instead of Windows Phone 7.5 Mango) and HTC Beats onboard.  Hopefully, the Beats integration means something that's more than just a cosmetic addition, though.

The ePrice post seems to suggest that the HTC Runnymede will be announced on September 20 during an HTC event in the US (the big media outfits have already gotten their invites).  We're guessing it will get a name change, too, since Runnymede just sounds like a word a four year old will make up.
