I'm betting that it will be have less resolution than that, but time will tell.

That would ROYALLY piss me off. My 3+ year old Axim can do VGA, I'm tired of living in the ancient past.

What I'm hoping for:

-At least 500 MHz processor

The max that the 7500A chipset supports is 500 MHZ, same as 7500 (non a) used by the Titan/Mogul (400 MHZ). That said it should be easier for them to bump up the speed to 500MHZ since the 7500a processor is 65nm intead of 90nm (smaller/runs cooler).

This better be at least 128MB to make up for the debacle 64MB provided on the Mogul, better yet they should make it 256MB.

The 7500A chipset, which the Raphael uses, has the exact same graphic capabilities as the Mogul. The real questions is if HTC will providee hardware accelerated video drivers for this device, which they did not for the Titan/Touch/Kaiser, this is extra important now if this device is going to be VGA resolution (4x the amount of pixels to process).

The feature sheet already specifies a 3 Megapixel camera.

Since the Mogul already supports SDHC, and even the previous generation Apache (6700) supports SDHC with upgraded ROM, I wouldn't worry about SDHC support.

The feature sheet already specifies that the both the Raphael and Diamond support Touchflo.
