These new photos display some of these features and help confirm the huge screen, the new 3D MotoBlur, and the new lock screen. We also already know, that the device will be sporting an 8MP rear facing camera capable of 1080p HD video recording and the ability to dock to a base, much like the Atrix 4G. We are still waiting to hear what processor will be under the hood, but I think it’s only a short matter of time before that information makes its’ way to us as well.

There has been an ongoing rumor regarding whether they will switch from the previously planned Tegra II chip, to the TI OMAP.
It had been said that the reason for the change was that the Tegra II chip was conflicting with the LTE radios in newer Verizon devices.
However, that part of the rumor was squashed when this statement was given from Nvidia:

“Tegra 2 has absolutely no compatibility issues with LTE. In fact, Tegra 2 interfaces with many types of modems via standard interfaces, including LTE. There is nothing inherently unique about LTE as far as Tegra 2 is concerned. In fact, there will be Tegra 2 and LTE-enabled devices available soon. Unfortunately due to NDAs, we can’t communicate exact devices or timeframe.”

Since this will obviously be one of Verizon’s next 4G LTE devices, will this be your next Droid?
Or will you wait to hear what processor this device will be shipping with first?

Known specs:
– 2.3.4 Gingerbread Operating system
– 4.5″ qHD resolution large screen
– 8MP + front camera, support 1080P HD video
– External Dock
– Stunning animation effects, blue translucent notification bar
– 1750mAh battery, time to market and price unknown

UPDATE: Sprint has confirmed that the device is the HTC 7 Pro coming on Thursday! Through twitter they have sent out a message:

“If you could design a brand new phone, what would it have? Ours will have a hub for gaming, music, pictures and video.”  Thats only one OS in the world and it an’t Android! (Although Samsung has been swiping “hubs” for their Galaxy SII Phones…) PPCGeeks expects the next couple days to really heat up on the Sprint Front. How does this make you all feel – any WP7 Lovers around?

So it seems Sprint has tweeted about a new phone coming out February 24th. The big question is what is it? Is it Android, WebOS, Windows Phone 7? Maybe it is an extension onto the wild Evo line, or another Samsung Device….Maybe it is the HTC 7 Pro (Gold_C).

You’ll have to excuse us if we tend to think that anytime a carrier says it has a new phone on the way it will be Android. But seeing how around these parts when it rains it pours, we’ve got a better than average chance of seeing a new Android device announced this Thursday.

But again what will it be? 4G, something with 2 or more screens? How about an Atrix competitor? Tell us PPCGeekers, what would you like to see in the line up for Sprint? Let your words be heard we already know Sprint and others sometimes glance at these sort of stories – maybe we can influence them.
