For now, it looks like it&#8217;s on the GSM side (and European GSM, at that).&nbsp; More on that below.<\/p>\n<p>Specs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3.2-inch 320 x 480 HVGA AMOLED capacitive touch screen with pinch-to-zoom capability<\/li>\n<li>Android 2.1 (Eclair) with HTC Sense<\/li>\n<li>600 MHz processor<\/li>\n<li>5.0-megapixel camera<\/li>\n<li>GPRS\/EDGE\/3G connectivity<\/li>\n<li>Wi-Fi and Bluetooth<\/li>\n<li>microSD card slot (with support for up to 32 GB)<\/li>\n<li>3.5mm headphone jack<\/li>\n<li>Available in Europe in March<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/r.phonedog.com\/shared\/images\/2010\/2\/94079-HTC_HD_mini.jpg\" alt=\"HTC HD Mini\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>HTC HD Mini<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Think HTC Touch here, but with an improved design and specifications list.&nbsp;
