Remember all of those renders of unreleased, unannounced HTC devices that popped up in HTC Sync not too long ago? One of those phones – the one that looks like a Nexus One without a trackball and with a front-facing camera – has been caught in he wild.

It’s expected to be announced at Mobile World Congress. Engadget is calling this HTC’s new flagship device, making me wonder if they’re finally ready to step into this dual-core age that a majority of their competitors are embracing. Can’t tell much about it from these shots, but it looks like another 4.3-inch touchscreen is in order for those of us who enjoy that size.
