If Microsoft’s swift Kin killing had you down on their mobile prospects, the leaked specs for the HTC HD3 might make you reconsider. Among them: a gigantic 4.5″ AMOLED screen with 1280×800 resolution and 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor. Update: Fake.

The purported specs for this hulking slab of Windows Phone 7 come from the Chinese site PCOnline and they’d make even the Evo and Droid X blush:

Like I said, if you had let your excitement for Windows Phone 7 simmer in the wake of the Kin’s failure, the iPhone 4 launch, or the continued march of Android, well, this should bring it back to a boil (as long as you’re of the opinion that bigger is indeed better). [MobilitySite]
Update: Sadly, this is only an old concept by a user at wmpoweruser.com/ that MobileSite didn’t vet quite thoroughly enough. It was a beautiful dream while it lasted, though.
