Windows Phone HTC Prime and Ignite Coming Soon

It was back in May when we last heard about the HTC Prime and Ignite, however at the time the HTC Pyramid overshadowed the pair of them; unsurprising for a device which went on to become the HTC Sensation. They have not been forgotten though, and both appeared on a Dutch online retailer’s site just before the weekend, suggesting they could be officially introduced soon HTC Prime.

It looks like they went up much too early though, as the images have now been removed. However, screenshots of the page reveal the HTC Ignite to be a traditional large-touchscreen candybar phone, while the HTC Prime gets a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, making it look a same as like the HTC 7 Pro.

The HTC Ignite hasn’t yet been officially announced by HTC, however according to the guys over at Phone Arena the specs for the HTC Ignite Windows Phone are a 3.7-inch touch screen, a 5 megapixel camera with video capture, A-GPS, Bluetooth, and 512MB RAM, and Windows Phone 7 operating system.When it comes to the  HTC Prime, we’ve heard of the smartphone previously, and the specifications for the HTC Prime are a 3.7-inch WVGA touch screen, 800MHz processors, slide out QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel camera with flash, 512MB RAM, Windows Phone 7 OS, and apparently that QWERTY keyboard has oval shaped keys but again like the HTC Ignite little else is known at this time.HTC used a similar strategy with their initial Windows Phone 7 handsets, releasing the similarly powered and styled 7 Pro and Trophy.
