Saterday’s Windows Phone 7 leaked ROM seems to contain a lot of information about the mysterious HTC Mondrian handset. We now have some early specs and info: The renders above, which are probably just place holders, as the device looks a tiny bit to similar to the original HTC Touch HD, are supposedly what the HTC Mondrian looks like  in the Zune Desktop software and Windows 7 Device Center when hooked up to a PC. The two other intersting bits of info are that the handsets has a “4.3in WVGA Optrex” screen (like the HD2 & EVO 4G?) and a Qualcomm QSD8650A/B chipset (the new 45nm Snapdragon clocked at 1.3 Ghz).
