reports about a new rumor that new display sizes are on the way for Windows Phones. It include 480 x 320 BlackBerry-style screens on Chassis 2 and 1280 x 720 HD displays on Chassis 3. The current Chassis 1.5 supports 480 x 800 pixel screens.
MS_nerd indicates that Chassis 2 with the BlackBerry-size display will come with the low-end improvement update "Tango". Of course, recently BlackBerry and HP haven’t had much success with this form factor (their market share is constantly slipping), so will this design really work to improve Windows Phone sales? On the positive side, Tango is said to bring support for LTE 4G technology.
Chassis 3 is where it starts to get good. While these devices are rumoured not to be coming until Windows Phone 8 “Apollo” in 2012, they will hopefully come with 1280 x 720 high density HD displays. Rumoured to go alongside the improved display resolution are dual-core processors, which currently power top-end Android and iOS devices.
