Specifications are identical with a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 7 inch 1024×600 capacitive display, 1.3 megapixel front facing camera for video calls, Android 2.2 with a future update to Honeycomb planned, 32GB internal memory with microSDHC slot and 5.0 megapixel camera with HD video capture. Like the EVO View 4G, the Flyer will also support HTC’s Scribe stylus-based input method. Pricing and availability will be revealed at al later date.
