HTC Merge press shots leaked

The much delayed world phone form HTC is finally closer to a possible release – that’s if the recent press shots that leaked are any indication of things to come. The HTC Merge that was officially announced a while ago popped up at the FCC last month and now has some official press shots leaked online. According to the images, the phone will be headed to Verizon (evident from the carrier’s badge on the front) when it is released, unsurprising since they’ve already got some other world CDMA phones in their lineup. The phone packs an 800MHz processor, a 3.8″ display, and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It’s basically a CDMA version of the Desire Z. Expect the phone to drop anytime soon.
