The specs for the upcoming HTC Bliss and HTC Runnymede haven’t exactly been a well kept secret, but we thought we’d share some new documents that have just hit the web. For the most part, it looks like all the previous reports about the HTC Runnymede and Bliss have been spot on–right down to the Charm Indicator accessory for the female-focused HTC Bliss.
The leaked spec sheet for the Bliss belongs to the GSM variant expected in Europe, but we’re pretty sure the Verizon version of the handset will be nearly identical. The HTC Runnymede, on the other hand, is more of a mystery. It features an unusually large 4.7-inch WVGA display and a Qualcomm MSN 8255 processor overclocked to 1.5 GHz. The main selling points for the Runnymede are the included Beats Solo headphones and the handset’s 9.9mm thickness. Unlike the Bliss, we do not have any indication that the HTC Runnymede will be headed to the US market.
While the marketing tactic for the HTC Bliss is a bit odd for us, the phone itself should appeal to those looking for a mid-range phone with a little extra sense of style. We’re not sure what to make of the HTC Runnymede. Is it a competitor with other dual-core powered phones or simply a media-centric device with a large (low-resolution) display paired with a nice set of Beats headphones? Who do you think will be purchasing the HTC Bliss and Runnymede once they hit the market?
