So heres what we know about the Leo with some certainty: its going to be awesomely high-end. Other than that, though, the skys the limit; no spec is too wild, no physical design too outlandish until we actually get some official information (or at least some really solid leaks). We wouldnt call these latest renders "solid" by any stretch -- in fact, were willing to bet its the result of a daydreamer with some graphic design background -- but we want to believe, especially since the front is basically consistent with what weve seen previously. Imagine a rounded-off Touch HD with WinMo 6.5, a 1GHz Snapdragon, and a 5 megapixel cam accompanied by two high-output LEDs. We love the stylish "Pro.Three" branding (and we guess were going to forgive the "lorem ipsum" gibberish beneath it since this is a rough, unbranded render), but there are a few holes in this story: for one, we still dont know how this dovetails with Firestone; two, the Touch Pro2 just came out, so were not sure why theyd release a device with the conflicting "Pro.Three" name so soon thereafter, particularly in a different form factor; and three, this might make more sense as one of HTCs inaugural WinMo 7 devices. Given the rumored pie-in-the-sky October availability date, well get this sorted out soon enough.

HTC Leo rendered again- maybe by HTC, more likely by fans
