We don't know is this a fake or not (seems to be fake), but it's another leaked picture showing Windows Phone 7 Series running on "old" devices over the XDA-Developers…

The first one (Android OS equivalent to the HTC HD2) is to be officially presented in March, and sales should hit in April. I recall that on board we can find among others: 3.7-inch AMOLED touch screen with WVGA resolution, Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 1GHz QSD, 3G HSDPA, WiFi, GPS, 512MB RAM, sound Dolby for Mobile Camera 5Mpix with video recording capability in HD (720p) and the Android version 2.1 with the overlay Sense UI.
Unfortunately, there is no photos of the HTC Legend model, but here are the specs of this phone:
The most important are 2 things: the aluminum body of the phone and AMOLED display. Legend entire body is made of aluminum and it can not be broken. Element, which can remove the plastic, lower part of the back cover. After the photo shows us a place for the battery, SIM card and MicroSD. The second part is a removable cover antennas located around the camera and LED flash.

Hardware:
The hardware is gorgeous, if not a bit too masculine for female users. The device measures 2.36 X 4.56 X 0.54 inches and is a big rectangular slab with rounded corners and a beveled back so it’s easier to hold. At first glance, the Droid looks like it can be made to be mounted to a wall like a miniature flatscreen television, and that assessment wouldn’t be too far off with the 16:9 aspect ratio on the screen, a FWVGA display showing 854 X 480 pixels, and measuring in at 3.7-inch, which sounds larger than it is but thanks to the device’s elongated FWVGA resolution is narrow and easy enough to hold and grip.
The device’s QWERTY keyboard is thin and the device doesn’t feel as bulky as the HTC Touch Pro2 running Windows Mobile. There is no spring assist in the slider mechanism on the Motorola Droid, but there are satisfying clicks when the device locks or closes in its horizontal landscape sliding positions. The built-in accelerometer also helps to orate the screen.

The Droid shows off its slim profile.
I am torn on the hardware keyboard. Also it is quite good and capacious, it does take some getting used to moving down to the smaller size. After having experienced typing heaven on the Touch Pro2, the keyboard feels like a downgrade. However, it is still one of the finer keyboards out there on the market and users who have never experienced the Touch Pro2’s widely spaced, island keys would be none the wiser. I just prefer the on-screen keyboard, which offers a good correction engine.
