HTC, Taiwan-based mobile phone maker,  is said to be preparing for the launch/release of the Leo. The Leo is apparently a flip phone which will offer an internal WVGA screen and an external QVGA screen. The existence of the new device seems to have been unveiled by the leaked Manila 2.5 or the TouchFLO 3D 2.5 UI that HTC designed to work with its Windows Mobile-based devices.

In addition, the phone might also sport a full QWERTY keyboard, though there are no specific details on it, and it should be rather interesting to see whether touch capabilities have been also included in the package.

The new device might be similar to the HTC Omni. According to WMPoweruser, the rumored HTC Leo should prove to be a rather powerful device, which would point towards the inclusion of a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.When it comes to the graphics capabilities of the device, the fact that there might be support for OpenGL 2.0 included in it also suggests a Snapdragon processor, it seems. HTC is also rumored to release the Click, Mega and Rome these are probably just codenames. The Click is supposed to be an entry-level Android phone but we have no details regarding the phone.

The HTC Leo is said to be running a top secret UI called HTC Manila 2.5 which is essentially the next generation of the company’s TouchFLO 3D interface that overlays Windows Mobile. This is essentially the non-Android HTC Sense.
