Windows Phone 7 gracing Sprint next year with the HTC 7 Pro

HTC unveiled what most likely will be the first Windows Phone 7 device for Sprint, the HTC 7 Pro. We couldn't tell that from the blurry shots, leaked a while ago, but the phone features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, similar to the WP7 Samsung Focus. The screen size is 3.6", with 480x800 pixels of resolution. The dimensions are 4.62 X 2.32 X 0.61 inches at rather hefty 6.47 ounces of weight with the 1500mAh battery.

The HTC 7 Pro uses the same 1 GHz Snapdragon as the other WP7 phones revealed so far, and features 512MB ROM and 576MB of RAM. A 5MP camera with LED flash and 720p HD video comes standard, as well as generous 16GB of internal memory. The handset will be launched at some point in the first half of 2011.

An interesting twist is that the HTC 7 Pro also features Dolby Mobile and SRS surround sound, similar to the music-centric HTC Surround.
